By Jeff Aranow: IBO/WBA World junior middleweight champion Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara (23-2-2, 13 KOs) wants to make a big impression on the boxing world when he defends his titles against former 154lb champion Yuri Foreman (34-2, 10 KOs) in less than two weeks from now on January 13 on PBC on Spike.
The Lara-Foreman fight will taking place at the Hialeah Park Racing and Casino in Miami, Florida. Lara wants a knockout over Foreman. You should hope that Lara can accomplish that task, because if he can’t, then it doesn’t say much about the Cuban fighter’s talent. Foreman was stopped in consecutive fights by Pawel Wolak and Miguel Cotto in 2010 and 2011.
