    Wood tactics were incredible for 95% of the match, what the **** were you watching? Most thought Wood wouldn't see the second round, yet by the 6th, most had given up on a Lara win.

    The scorecards were irrelevant because we suspected beforehand that however it played out this won’t go the distance . By the 2nd round it wa s clear it won’t go the distance and I knew it would end inside 8 rounds.

    Like I said Wood was winning on points but was losing the war. I see what I saw which is why I called it. I even wrote that Woods is boxing well but Lara is getting to him and having an effect. Frankly I am surprised you seem shocked by the outcome because it became predictable to me.

    I'm not shocked by the outcome I favoured Lara via KO and thought it was a dumb decision to opt to face him in a voluntary. Wood was the one dictating and in control and had been for a number of rounds. Lara was obviously still dangerous and Wood just got caught against the run of play.

    Well if you read my comments I had not . I gave Wood rounds 1 and 3, Lara 3 and 4 then stopped recording my scores because I knew the knockout was coming. Read my comments in this thread. Most don’t understand boxing like I do.

    No, you stopped scoring, because Wood was dominating and you were looking for the exit.

    I respectfully disagree as Wood was making a lot of defensive mistakes putting himself in positions for Lara to get to him.

    So Lara wasn’t hurt at all?

    I agree. Freddie Roach was damning saying that Fury should have stopped Wilder in the first fight because Fury was the better puncher which I agreed with and with the change in trainer going to the Kronk you saw what happened in the rematch.

    Yes I did just hurts your punk ass that I know boxing better than you do. Sometimes you really should listen and learn. With experience comes wisdom.

    It’s the football equivalent of playing counter attack and hitting you on the break. It was clear enough to me what was happening.
