On a night when three junior middleweight world titleholders and their challengers jockeyed to separate themselves from the pack, undercard winners Jermell Charlo and Jarrett Hurd did so in their victories against Erickson Lubin and Austin Trout, respectively. That did not happen for titleholder Erislandy Lara in the main event. Although Lara, generally considered No. 1 at 154 pounds going into the card, easily outboxed Terrell Gausha before 7,643 on Saturday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, he hardly impressed in a fight that was akin to watching grass grow or paint dry. The crowd booed the lack of action often, even though the safety-first Lara toyed with Gausha, a 2012 U.S. Olympian who was taking a monumental step up in his competition level and could not really compete. The judges scored it 117-110, 117-110 and 116-111 for Lara, who retained his 154-pound title for the sixth time but largely against soft opposition. ESPN.com scored the fight 120-107 for Lara, a 34-year-old Cuban southpaw, who defected and fights out of Houston. read more http://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/...eholder-erislandy-lara-defeats-terrell-gausha
