The fighters are in their final days of training before they step into the ring for the biggest battles of their lives on Saturday, Nov 10 in the Lafite Ballroom at Wynn Las Vegas. Martirosyan said that he has been sparring 3 days a week at the Wild Card Gym and Freddie (Roach) has helped him with his mental outlook more than anything. He said that Roach is a master strategist and that he has spotted a lot of flaws in Lara’s game. He went on to say that Lara’s people have been mouthing off on Twitter and if they think this fight will be a walk in the park Lara will get knocked out. “I have also heard that the winner of our fight will get a shot at Canelo Alvarez for the WBC title and I want that shot.” Lara said that he has learned a lot from his trainer Ronnie Shields and that they have also devised a game plan and that he is very happy that this fight is finally going to happen because Martirosyan had turned down this fight twice before.
