Lara crushes Ramon

Former world champion Erislandy Lara continued his trek back toward the top of the super-welterweight ranks on Saturday with a second-round demolition of Ramon Alvarez. Cuban-born Lara gained the World Boxing Association’s second-tier “regular” world title in the 154-pound category with a dominant display over the overweight and overmatched Mexican in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Only Lara was eligible to win the vacant title after Alvarez, brother of middleweight king Canelo Alvarez, failed to make weight on Friday by more than four pounds. Lara was in control from the start. After Alvarez survived a standing count, Lara unleashed another barrage and the fight was halted at 2:03 of the second round.
