    Congrats to Wood. He did what he had to do to win convincingly, although Lara looked absolutely poor. Really showed his limitations. Just goes to show that all Wood had to do was stay out of danger.

    No reason for a third fight, it’ll just be the same results.

    Great win for Wood.

    The kid has some nice craft, especially at mid-range and on the inside, and he has power. I picked Wood to outbox Lara in the first fight, and for most part he did exactly that before getting caught.

    Kudos to Wood for having the courage to get back in there with the hard-puncing Mexican, boxing brilliantly, and recapturing the WBA strap.

    Yes. A Mexican warrior could not survive a clash with a British warrior whose forward sloping majestic curly perm game was on point

    True. The tweaks and adjustments Wood made to his perm were key tonight

    If only Conan won it honestly would've been the perfect day for me.

    :lol: If Lara is broke after the two Warrington fights and the first Woods fight, then he has no one else to blame but himself.

    Lara was schooled just like the first fight , Wood is levels above but Lara is a danger man just very one dimensional as he found out first time.. wood is a solid little fighter, good win.

    Lara definitely has some health problems now. He was not at all as confident and assertive as in the first fight.
