Leigh Wood vs. Mauricio Lara Acosta & Dalton Smith vs. Billy Allington RBR.

Yep. I called this too. Never really gave Wood much a chance. He doesnt have the raw talent to beat Lara. You can shadow box and look cute all you want. End of the day the man walked straight through your bombs.

 

Wood can beat Lara definitely, boxing paved the way. But Lara is an animal for sure.

 

Wood has all the heart in the world. But his coach does not. Pure overreaction under panic.

 

The long run is what matters

 

Need to see Warrington get KO'd by another Mexican, he should get the Lara triology if he wins another fight or one of Valdez or Navarette

 

In real time it seemed like an odd decision to throw in the towel. Having said that, 12 seconds is a long time seeing someone like Lara can throw three punches every second.

 

As I have stated and you just did, big difference Conlan v Lara. I thought it was stopped at the right time, a lot can happen in a few seconds in the boxing ring.

 

This is championship boxing. You don't toss in the towel under those circumstances. sheesh

 

Eh, I mean it's good the corner was looking out for their man, don't get me wrong. But he was pretty clear eyed standing up and this guy has a proven track record of recovering pretty well. The Conlan knockdown was pretty similar and there was a lot more time left. He should've been given the opportunity to get some recovery time, and if his corner was still worried then they could've thrown in the towel. Good fight all the same, but a bit of a disappointing ending.

I usually hate rematches but I wouldn't mind seeing one for this.

 

It was a very heavy knockdown. Wood was struggling to put his hands up. If the fight went on and he was too buzzed to put his hands up or clinch then he would of been murdered

 

Yup. This is exactly like i visualized it. Wood winning rounds, landing good shots but Lara just eating and eating until he lands the vicious fight ending shot. And i like Wood a lot. But you have to go through fire to beat those Mexicans. Lara was never really GOOD. He was hurt and rocked and dropped by bums and low level fighters. But most of the time he just went through it and still won. He's fighting a classic old school Mexican fighting style.
