    Oddest fight, I've seen in a while. 120-107. Pleased for Wood though.

    Brilliant Ruiz-esque performance from Lara.

    Did he even train for this fight?

    I knew Wood could win this if his majestic forward sloping curly perm game was on point this time and it really was.

    Never bet against a Brit in a rematch unless Usyk is standing in the opposite corner.

    Lara must have a deathwish stepping up to Brit Level this many times

    Not trying to take anything from Wood, cause I wanted him to win, but I wonder if part of Lara's apparent lethargy came from being stripped yesterday. Kind of a situation where he was like "I already lost the title, **** it." Or maybe he got scared of Wood's power from that second round knockdown. Or maybe he hurt his let when he went down. Or it could be all three.

    Regardless, I'm happy Wood has the belt back!

    Probably someone like Warrington, Raymond Ford or that Uzbek fighter are Leigh's most realistic next possible opponents. All the other champs are either busy or affiliated with different promoters.

    Lara look like he is thankful they didn't call of the fight and he got a payday out of it.

    Warrington, he should dodge Lopez like the plague. Not sayin he can't win that, but... he probably can't.

    Not sure what 2 rounds - let alone 4 - you could give to Lara.
