    True I could imagine if he threw it back out and Lara clocks him with the very next punch for the massive KO.
    He would never hear the end of it.
    The towel coming in gives him an easy out of, "well it wasn't my decision"

    This would not be a shock.

    Lara is only 24, he can be a champ for a long time if he just learns how to jab

    A minute may have made a huge difference. But we'll never know.

    Great fight.
    Definitely an early stoppage, but I kind of understand the decision to throw in the towel. Lara hits very hard.

    Hope to see a rematch.

    I really don’t think so. Before the fight started it was one of those fights I was not sure how it would play but after 2 rounds I said in this thread that Lara would win because he could get to Wood and you could see the visible effects. Woods trainer had saved him for another day. He was not going to recover. He went down real heavy and when he got up he was not in control of his legs.

    Get the hell out of here with "Wood wasn't up for it".
    Went tooth and nail and knocked Conlan out after being badly knocked down and ate some big shots in this fight and gave as good as he got.
    If you're going to insinuate Wood wanted a way out of this fight then you have no clue what you're talking about.

    Yep. I called this too. Never really gave Wood much a chance. He doesnt have the raw talent to beat Lara. You can shadow box and look cute all you want. End of the day the man walked straight through your bombs.

    Wood can beat Lara definitely, boxing paved the way. But Lara is an animal for sure.

    Wood has all the heart in the world. But his coach does not. Pure overreaction under panic.
