Lara vs O'Sullivan FULL FIGHT: May 28, 2022 | PBC on Showtime PPV
Two-division world champion Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara defended his WBA Middleweight Title against hard-hitting Irish crowd-pleaser Gary “Spike” O’Sullivan with a RD8 TKO.
In the co-main event, Cuban star Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara (29-3-3, 17 KOs) dominated Gary “Spike” O’Sullivan (31-5, 21 KOs) to retain his WBA Middleweight Title via an eighth-round TKO.
A two-division champion who landed 54% of his power punches in the bout, Lara waited patiently for his opening against the aggressive O’Sullivan, and broke through for the first time late in round four. He sent O’Sullivan down in the closing moments of the round with a blistering counter left hand that hurt him before dropping him with a straight right hand.
“This new style that I’m demonstrating is for all the boxers to show them how I can fight now, just being able to change up,” said Lara. “He was a tough boxer, too. I’m a smart boxer, a slick boxer, that’s what I did tonight. I waited until he attacked and then I did what I had to do to win the fight.”
O’Sullivan was again saved by the bell in round five, as Lara hurt him as the round waned with a right hook-straight left combination. Showing the precision that has made him renowned as one of the sport’s most skilled fighters for years, Lara struck again at the end of round seven, wobbling O’Sullivan severely moments before the bell rang.
After receiving attention from the ringside physician before round eight, O’Sullivan ran into another straight left hand from Lara early in the round, prompting referee Benjy Esteves to waive off the bout 23 seconds into the frame.
“I saw the opening, he was leaving himself open and that’s when the left came in and knocked him down,” said Lara. “I saw in the eighth round he didn’t have any more power and that’s when I stepped up and showed my power.”

It’s crazy how much boxing fans have forgotten about Lara. He’s an amazing fighter.
canelo fucked up his trajectory, sucks but i still love me some Lara!
@@greybridgewaterno 6th grade in in😊an
h
They still look really old in this fight
We forgot him because he’s boring. He’s a good boxer but just boring as fuck
Danny Garcia making this guy cut more weight in a title fight, is insane💀
How else would he have a chance at winning?
When GGG dropped the belt to fight Lara it definitely spooked Garcia.
My man Lara! He is one of the best out there!
This the guy that got robbed in the Canelo fight
That's what happens when you're not the aggressor and don't engage and run...
He was also Robbed even worse by Paul Williams
Do you all understand that a great deal of top 154 pounders still won't fight Lara? He's too much for young up and coming fighters and he still makes the top fighters look bad stylistically. So he's fighting whoever is willing to get in front of him. We know that he has never ran from anyone.
GGG just dropped a belt to avoid fighting Lara. Would of been a great fight.
TBF it looks like GGG has unofficially retired which explains why he done that
This old man is very strong
He’s 40
Terrible corner for Spike - “fuck your eardrum, fuck your eye. It’s a world title fight”
He damn near took his mustache off his face.
Lol - that ridiculous moustache.
😂😂
Nice watching him Lara Fight. OG. If he was American he would have been a bigger star.
This guy talked so much smack about KOing Lara. He was almost completely ineffective. I’m glad he was embarrassed this way.
I never knew anyhting about O'Sullivan until I saw a yt episode of trash talking fighters getting humiliated. The stuff he was saying was really classless.
Lara beat Canelo 💯💯💯
🙄🤣🤣
Canelo beat track star lara 😂
Lara’s a bum …. Canelo beat him easy work … and now it’ll be even easier 😂😂….
Canelo won ha ha
Clearly beat bum ass horrible footwork and no jab having and no head movement and no counter punch having canelo lol And all the people that don't really know boxing on the internet love to say boxers like floyd and Lara and many others be running, but these casual cookie rookies don't even know it's a term in the sport of boxing for what they claiming is running but they don't know sht especially the technical side of the sport they barely even know the rules or the basics lol smh
They was laughing in the beginning when they said Sullivan claimed he would be the first to knock Lara out lol Even they know he's a joke and this a staged clown fight for Lara lol
Lara drank his milkshake
Ahaha what kind of mustache is that?? 😂 but its awesome
Lara's seemed to be kind of semi-retired the last few years. He fights once a year and hasn't really fought anyone dangerous since Castano and I think that was 2018. I have no clue what happens with him & Garcia.
Maybe he's a guy with a harsh mouth so no big promoters ever give him a good deal.
@@blackumbrella6199 All of his fights are for PBC. He's got one of the strongest promoters in the game.
He's old. It's not in his best interest to be fighting more than once a year, especially at a higher weight class than he fought the majority of his career. He's not retired. Big fights are on the way@@LucieOne
@@Brooklyn11236 I know he isnt officially retired but he fights so infrequently and when he does fight it's against just random guys. So long since he's had actual competition and I can't imagine he's happy with that. I would think he would have wanted a big fight over the last 4-5 years.
Quisira ver la rebancha de lara con en canelo y voy a LARA
Lara tiene una recta como pocos la tiran en el mundo.Letal,también lo acompaña un movimiento de torso que lo favorece en la pegada.Ya a Sullivan lo había salvado la campana.🤛👊🇺🇸🇨🇺
Py
Un trueno ese recto de izquierda 🧨
Bowe and Holmes compliments of Eddie Futch.🥊💯
Que pelea más aburrida pésimo boxeo de ambos. Tenían pereza hasta para lanzar un golpe.
Lara is such a slick fighter
😢CT😊
Thumbnails be spoiling.
Forget Lara, Spike made that fight!
Aun recuerdo como le robaron descaradamente vs canelo. Y soy mexicano y apoyo a canelo pero ne acuerdo y digo vaya corrupción que hay en el deporte.
No sabe de box amigo
@@angel77503 jaja ....solo por qué no me gusta presumir te diré que si . Debemos de dejar de ser tan fanáticos no por ser mexicano tenemos que creer o hacer creer que siempre vamos a ganar o el mexicano siempre va a ganar. En fin ..saludos .
I had nelo up a Rd but yea that fight was closeeeee
RYAN GARCIA VS GERVONTA DAVIS FULL FIGHT 🔥
Like to see spike call it a day now and hope he mad some money out the game
Boxing Up
Yuuup spike
Que pasó?
Este Lara ya es veterano pero tiene la mañana y bien recorrido de ring lo deberían de poner con Munguía le entran muchos golpes y Lara suelta mucho las manos así veriamos en que nivel está Munguía aún que en esta pelea no lo vi correr mucho todavía tiene piernas 😮
Que se compare al O'Sullivan que enfrentó a Munguía con este que enfrentó a Lara, y se descubre que ante el Cubano O'Sullivan parece un Sparring que suelta lentos calcetinazos sin ninguna intención de lastimar...Pelea amañada, sin duda.
How did dude get a title bout 🙄
😂for real
Anything can happen in the corrupt staged rigged clown world of entertainment fake ass boxing lol
@@criticalthinker8013 you sholl right 😂😂
No many boxers want to fight Lara
I just came to see if his boxing matched the bicycle mustache.
Lara got robbed more than anyone I could remember
maybe if he STEPPED UP like man he wouldn't get robbed, sounds like Whitaker
This is clearly a staged fight Sullivan is basically a sparring partner
I love this guy 😂
That man came to fight
❤
В Америке чемпионы не побеждают!, почему?, потому что коррупция выше чем, честность и свобода? Судьи на побегушках у высокопоставленных чиновников!!!! Так о чем вы можете диктовать условия другой стране!!!
Floyd mayweather wanted no smoke from lara he ducked him
And GGG
Lara fights lazy he doesn't have the killer instinct.
Why Sullivan gloves so big??
His gloves aren't big - its the rest of him that's small.
People, I wanna start boxing, and I've been training for it, but do any of you got tips for me? I'm most definitely right hand as well
Fundamentals, keep hands up, move your head, bring punches back to your face, etc. go a very long way. And sparring actually makes a fighter, not heavy or speed bags.
Lara beat canelo
"this is the new Lara... he's right in front you".... hahaha... about time, after years of RUNNING LIKE A COWARD
Fight starts at 8 min
😊😅 0:37
Hola, a mi manera de ver el árbitro se apura en la detención del combate.
27:37 😂
Almost took his mustache off his fave in that one
dirty tactics plus no match so small🤣✌️👍
Don't know what is Lara's insistence on prolonging fights, this guy could have been finished in 4th or 5th, then starting 6 with putty patter training pats to the body. You are fighting a lesser opponent stop fighting Blackfoot, that's the reason canelo got the nod in the first place. So frustrating seeing such a crazy talent fight worse than he can.
Why don't u get in there? U sound like a little girl. Enjoying a free fight on KZhead, and still complaining.
He jad to go to the hospital you jeard the dictor ue has to go now
O Sullivan bin ladin.
😮😮
My Friends Always Call Me To Watch Every Sullivan Fight. Cause She Just A Fan Of Sullivan. And She Think Sullivan Is One Of The Sexiest Boxer. And She Just freak out watch this fight. When saw Sullivan get a lot punishment
Olde schoolers and some young. Do you remember the old jack Sullivan d boxer is this guy some kin too himm last name . mustache bald head and a mixed martial artist coincidence maybe. Oop boxer not mixed martial artist
Canelo learn English, Lara up to now not even how are you supporters in English 🤭
Who cares about who speaks english
huh
That commentator look like Joe Biden from the side of his face
This was just a boring ass fight remember watching it live
Definitivamente Lara se retirará como el 98% de los boxeadores cubanos sin aprender que existe la zona baja el tórax y el dorso del cuerpo solo atacan a la cabeza del oponente.
hermano te estás quedando ciego,eso me preocupa.Lara te trabaja mucho los intercostales para que abras la guardia y con ese potente recto va arriba y el récord de ko dice lo demás.Vuelve a ver la pelea.Yo la he visto varias veces porque bajo la dirección de Sala parece que tiene la orden de ir más al intercambio y con esto vender.saludos 👊🤛🇺🇸🇨🇺
Very partisan commentators. They are supposed to be neutral.
Ryan Garcia pussed out
