A few words with Erislandy Lara

 WBA middleweight champion Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara highlighted a Las Vegas media workout on Thursday ahead of his world title unification clash against IBF and WBO middleweight champion Janibek Alimkhanuly that serves as the co-feature of a jam-packed PBC pay-per-view event available on Prime Video on Saturday, December 6th from Frost Bank Center in San Antonio. Here is what Lara had to say Thursday from Radiant Brand Complex in Las Vegas:
 
“Let people keep thinking that Janibek is the most dangerous guy in the division. We’ll see on December 6th if that holds.
 
“This is the fight that will solidify my legacy. I know what I need to do and I’m confident in my ability to come out victorious. Everyone watching is going to see the best possible version of myself. Training is going great and I’m ready to go.
 
 “Fans are going to see a Lara that’s going in there to throw punches to hurt Janibek. I’m coming to hurt my opponent. If I get the opportunity, I’m gonna end the night early. If it goes the distance, you’ll see me win a beautiful fight.
 
“This fight means everything to me. It’s a unification fight, so if I win this fight I’ll show everyone that I’m the best fighter at 160 pounds.”
