    Muchos dinero coming Lara's way. He's got no title to trade though so he'll need to be careful and take the money to fight Warrington again "in front of the faithful, i need the people behind me" etc.

    I think he is just being too brave! I mean his style is not good for him. He doesn't have the power or the chin to back that up.
    Nor the speed to get away from big shots. He literally eats punches round after rounds non stop. Very much bad style to have in boxing.

    Unbelievable. Sad night for Josh but the Lara story reads similar to Martinez against Charlie Edwards, and no doubt he’ll push on and challenge for honours now.

    Feel sorry for Josh, tough night for him but it happens. Curious to see what happens next - rematch clause or not?

    Never pick a Mexican as a warm up fight after 16month lay off.

    Hearn royally ****ed up in his matchmaking

    Macklin reckons the reason for the loss was (the lack of) 'mental preparation'. He's just been KTFO, ffs....

    Its embarrasing, he literally spent round 6 making excuses even said Warrington now has 2 kids. Its shocking, they are just looking for a line to spin.

    I will always support the English fighter but he makes it difficult coming out to Leeds songs, where does this leave him with the title fights now does Lara get a look in now, vacating a belt and then getting beat
    I might have to put talksport on they are getting kid Galahad on tonight bet he’s got something to say lol

    Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line.

    So macklin doesn't think this kid punches harder than Galahad. What is he smoking?

    Well, the 'shouldn't have given up the belt' side gets a big fat 'W' this weekend. If the Galahad fight happened and he lost he'd at least be able to get a big fight immediately. Now...?:xqw
