San Antonio, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Erislandy Lara won a lopsided unanimous decision over Ishe Smith on Friday to keep his WBA junior middleweight title. Lara (20-2-2) bullied the challenger throughout the fight and only lost one round on two judges scorecards. The third judge gave Lara a 117-111 edge. Smith (26-7), a former IBF title holder, has lost two of his last three bouts. Lara dropped his previous fight against Saul Canelo Alvarez in a controversial split decision five months ago. The meeting was at a catch- weight of 155 pounds, however, so Friday was Laras first official title defense.
