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

Not sure how you can blame Matchroom for this one. Josh looked bad and maybe he has an injury he’s not disclosing. Either way, his future doesn’t look bright at the moment. A couple good wins and he will be good as new. Assuming he still has the desire and ability.

 

Unfortunately I don't think warrington will be the same again .took terrible punishment .not good

 

Not looking his best after lay off is not irrational opinion, however to basically fight a different way than his normal that does not fit with ring rust/layoff opinion.

Now i am no way a public relations expert, but i cannot see how the fight between Warrington and Lara with their respective records prior to this fight would be able to be hyped up properly as you put it, if Lara had a 'name' on his win record yes but not with Laras resume prefight,
#1 spar is a tentative selling point at best.

Warrington could well have had ring rust, Warrington for unknown reason fought different from normal fight style, and Lara took his opportunity, we will have to see if we get feedback from Warrington and his team about the matter, until then it is all supposition, only definite is Lara won the bout decisively.
