Lara successfully makes sixth defence of WBA title, outclassing former Olympian Gausha.


The highly talented WBA Super Welterweight champion, Erislandy Lara 24-2-2 (14 Ko's) completely outlanded and outclassed Clevelands once beaten 2012 Olympian Terrell Gausha 20-0 (9 Ko's) via unanimous points, last night at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn.. I could have imagined an easier route for what would be Gaushas first attempt at a world championship, Lara being one of the most stylistically awkward of the current title holders, dropping the challenger in the fourth before easing through a 116-111, 117-110 twice to secure the sixth defence of the title he won in 2014, defeating former IBF champion Ishe Smith.. The previously undefeated 30 year old will come again, he handled himself competently in the circumstances and now understands the levels involved at the top having tasted it first hand.
