Still, the first round shot fired by the 27-3-3 Erislandy Lara to the head of 30-4-1 Thomas “Cornflake” Lamanna was enough to end things early. Their scheduled 12 round bout at the Dignity Healthy Sports Park in Carson, California lasted no more than half a round and earned the veteran Lara a WBA middleweight title (the division has numerous ones). Lamanna wasn’t the most prestigious opponent Lara has faced, but the Cuban fighter known as “The American Dream” looked impressive nonetheless.
