    I absolutely love him. Through the ropes going at the crowd afterwards, what a guy.

    I remember after he suffered that horrific cut and the fight got waved off, that Leeds gobshite Ayling was outside the ring giving him a bit of stick. I'd love him to bang out Warrington again just so Ayling could see it.

    If the fight continued, Wood might have survived with there only being 10 seconds left in the round, but I won't criticise Ben Davison, Wood was still wobbly and dazed and if Lara had landed another 2 clean shots, Wood could've been seriously hurt and Davison Literally had a split second to stop that happening if that's how he saw it.

    Lara just punches too hard.

    Credit to Wood for taking this fight as nobody fights Lara in a voluntary defence.

    Warrington is tripping if he thinks he can beat Lara. This guy is just too heavy handed.

    Hearn will definitely make Lara Wood II at the City Ground. There is a rematch clause and it’ll sell well off the back of their Premier League season.

    Realistically, Wood Warrington is the fight to make next with Lara making a defence of his title.

    It’s crazy that Lara is only 24. Matchroom can have a lot of fun with him.

    Going at Warrington wasn’t he, not the crowd?

    No need for rematches with either Warrington or Wood. They both hit Lara with their best shots and he walked through both of them.

    Neither can beat him over 12 rounds, they don’t have the defence. I thought Lara was gassed at times but seems he was just picking his moments and it worked to a tee, great little fighter.

    Lara is a tough little man and a pleasure to watch him at work in the ring.

    Predicted that he would win by KO and was very pleased for him when the Crow's nest landed on the floor.
