I don’t think that’s a legitimate excuse. He vacated a real IBF title in the hope of a regular WBA title shot? It’s pathetic. He should have fought Kid and beat him (again??) then pushed to unify with Can.
Imo hearn never wanted to pay for the rematch and had other ideas. Its backfired massively. Thats why the purse bid was so low and jw vacated. Hearn didn't bid and never looked after his fighter kid on the back of resigning jw.
Hearn was pushing like mad for the rematch when Warrington was with Warren, then suddenly stopped when he signed him. Also said Galahad was a clear winner at the time, then changed his mind and said it was a draw when he signed Warrington.
The rematch hasn't happened no lots of opinions on why . But the answer to the question was yes he beat Barry on 2 of the 3 judges score cards. Thats fact. Personaly I had tyson fury losing to John McDermott all them years back but the result still stands.
just like froch ko groves x2 difference is froch and fury rematched said decsions josh gave his title away played a wicky hatton power game and got sparked now he wants wood lofl he only became british six or so months back gtfoh with the agenda your pushing
Agenda? I answered the question did he really beat kid. I've said he made a massive balls up giving up the title. I haven't seen anything of him mentioning any other fighter other than lara. If he loses its all over for him anyway.
that fight took something from warrington just like froch second fight took something from groves as said he wanted no part of his mandated rematch with kid giving it the im to big for that now and wanted some feather fisted china man he will run and need the crowd to push the judges if he trades its over pretty sticky situation beating of a lifetime or he runs in a complete stinker needing favourable cards
Lara was obviously heavy handed but he looked terrible early on. No footwork or movement. Warrington came unstuck against an unknown fighter and by the time he knew he needed to adapt the damage was done. If he has it in himself to box and move he should win a comfortable points decision. If he wants to stand and trade he could get chinned again.
he dont like kids methods so exciting josh looks to be getting banjoed again unless hes stinking the place out which he as accused others of hence no rematches etc
Shame you cudnt get excited when they fought as kid couldn't do what lara did. He stank the place out.
It was the wba regular and ring magazine belt he was chasing and gave up the ibf for. He saw that as more value.
