Josh Warrington's career is in tatters. Matchroom have a history of terrible match making!

Exactly. This opponent was perfectly fine for Warrington. A tough kid who could punch so would need to be taken seriously but a fight Warrington should be winning.

The fact he lost and it became a much tougher fight than expected isn't down to the promoter. Warrington doesn't need such excuses.

 

Ice Ice Fergy

 

Hearn wouldn't have gone upto Warrington and his team 3 months out and said 'Right, this is the guy you're fighting, like it or lump it you kant!'
No, there would have been numerous guys named from the rankings and the team making a decision on the opponent, upon which Hearn would get the deal done.

From that point onwards, its on Warrington to behave like a true professional, get his preperation nailed on, formulate a fight plan and get the job done. He looked gash and out of sorts from the first bell which hints to me that he took Lara lightly and paid the price.

As already alluded to on here, you don't underestimate Mexican fighters. They come from a world of hardship and poverty and take such opportunities deadly seriously and with both hands.

Ultimately, Warrington got beat by the better man on the night and its up to him to decide whether there were things that can be fixed to alter the outcome of a potential rematch.

 

Lara had rocks as fists and a chin made from iron. . Poor job by Hearn selecting this guy as a comeback opponent.

 

I'm sure Warrington was offered fights, likely didn't fancy the idea of no crowds and a significant drop in pay. He ditched the IBF rather than fight Kid Galahad again so that is on him aswell.

 

Don't think they advised him to give it up. Team Warrington didn't want to fight Galahad again and Galahad wasn't going away so he had no choice but to vacate.

 

Exactly right. Hrgovic is another one, he's tried and failed in getting Usyk to lose by making a ridiculously sized ring and stacking the odds in Dereck Chisora's favour, done nothing with BJS when there are plenty of matchups that could have been made.

If you're not an English HW, a women in his stable (who he can pay cheap) or Conor Benn/Lawrence Okolie then you're wasting your time signing with Hearn. A crap promoter who only cares about targettng football hooligans.

 

Love his accent cracks me up. But the excuses is sad. Come on! If warrington was the goods he beats Lara he was just stylistically made for Lara.

Warrington likes to trade and when you trade you take a shot unfortunately for him Lara hits a lot harder than Selby, Frampton and Galahad!

I saw the first round Lara was hitting like a truck and knew right away Warrington is going to get KTFO if he doesn't box sensibly and he didn't, he traded and tried to be El mas macho....


End of!!

 

If bad matchmaking means entertaining fights and not absolutely one sided drivel then I'm all for it. It was worth tuning in, which can't be said for many fights and padded careers

 

It's not Matchrooms fault that Warrington isn't good enough to retain his title against an average challenger.

 

Sign of the times really, the argument about Hearn f’ing his career up wouldn’t be on the table years ago, it be just a loss an regroup, any of this talk would be viewed as homo an beta

 

They have good matchmaking if anything. Bad if you think their job is to just put on rigged fights. It’s simple. Your fighter’s will lose more when you consistently put them in with other good fighters. Does Matchroom lose in the end? No. It’s been working out great for them. Upsets garner attention, good fights garner attention and he puts a clause in just in case. Joshua-Ruiz II broke records, Joshua-Fury in coming. Povetkin-Whyte II incoming. Warrington if he wants it can probably fight infront of a crowd for the rematch vs Lara.

 

Hahahaha these posts are hilarious, ooooo Josh Warrington lost and it’s all the promoter’s fault - absolutely pathetic. No worse than when wilder was making all those excuses.

“What’s he doing fighting a massive puncher?” So Warrington should never face any punchers ever again? Or in future maybe he shouldn’t try and go toe to toe with them? Just a thought.
