Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-11-25, disappointing fight between Erislandy Lara and Jan Zaveck: it gets two stars.Erislandy Lara entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 21-2-2 (12 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.1 super welterweight in the world. He lost to Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez last year (by split decision, Alvarez vs Lara), but then he came back to win beating Ishe Smith (=Lara vs Smith) and Delvin Rodriguez (=Lara vs Rodriguez).
His opponent, the former Ibf welterweight champion Jan Zaveck, has an official record of 35-3-0 (19 knockouts) and he entered as the No.20 in the same weight class. He suffered his last loss in 2013 when he faced Keith Thurman (=Thurman vs Zaveck), since then he has won three consecutive bouts defeating Sasha Yengoyan in his last one (=Yengoyan vs Zaveck). Lara vs Zaveck is valid for the WBA and IBO World super welterweight titles (both held by Lara). Watch the video and rate this fight!

Mismatch, Zaveck was never in it. Time to step it up for Lara, at least he is a defensive genius worth watching :) His last 3 fights were against over-matched opponents (Smith, Rodriguez and this one). A rematch against Alvarez would be good, the decision in their first fight was fishy.
Disgusting matchmaking … does anyone really want to see such fights ?
No pueden ponerle a Lara este tipo de rivales.Es retroceder en su carrera.Saludos.
