    Lara was dead on his feet, Wood on the floor. I'm saying that's a pretty good indicator of what was gonna happen next.

    So ****ing what? Wood was hurt the same after both knockdowns, which both also happened at the bell. Wood could've easily seen out the next 8 seconds. Like I said, Lara was dead on his feet too, and Wood had proven adept at surviving the previous barrages.

    Warrington has done nothing but talk **** about Lara and pretend he didn't headbutt his way out of the second fight. I'd spit on him too.

    I agree. I didn't like the stoppage but calling a guy a scumbag for protecting his fighter doesn't sit right with me at all.

    I think the perm affected Lara's judgment of distance to be fair... he thought Wood was closer than he actually was...

    Also worth pointing out is that Ben didn't throw for the Undertaker Rises KD against Wilder.

    Yes, that one is the best and if not that, then just go with "The fight starts now."

    I am far from certain that you are in fact a pretty good judge of character based on some of the people you idolise however when it comes to boxing these guys are no choirboys hence was asking what you saw out of the ordinary. This Lara guy we have seen come to the UK twice to knockout world champions in their home town which shows he is a special assassin. Floyd is Floyd at least he is not some degenerate pervert like Oscar. As for Tank you hate him because he is associated with Floyd. Anytime Tank fights you are rooting for his opponent to win.

    Lara and his corner are prepared to die in the ring.Woods was not. It was the deciding factoring of the matches.Mexican heart indeeded.

    Once, while trading. He struggled to get to him every second other than that.
