I actually like this pairing.

I think, Oscar's flurries (which were still pretty fast and strong at 154) will keep Lara gunshy for certain portions of the fight. Lara will tag him with some nice left straights here and there. But there won't be enough of those straight lefts.

Oscar won't look impressive, but he'll tough out a decision win here.
