    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.

    Not at all I was clear about Lara getting to Wood and I wrote it down. Your problem is you going with your emotion instead of objectively see what is happening. I remember you still thinking Savannah Marshall was winning when Claressa Shields was schooling her.

    You sound a bit hurt about the outcome.

    Arturo Gatti would have so many more L's with Davison in his corner. Gatti Ward 1 would of been over before round 5

    That's not what was happening at all. Wood had taken control of the fight and Lara was the one who looked to be wilting and in danger of getting stopped as it progressed. Yes he was always dangerous but he just caught Wood with a great shot against the run of play.

    Yes. We were robbed of the opportunity to see a Gatti gene fighter pull a rabbit out of his hat and provide us with a ''Wow did you see that?!'' Gatti moment tonight

    That’s why I call it akin to counter attacking football. Let one team making the play dominate possession, suck them in then you counter them to devastating effect and score.

    Can't argue with that. Leigh may have a few more lucrative fights in his career because of this early stoppage.

    That sound you hear is the entire forum is laughing at you.... not with you. You're the P4P most delusional poster on these boards, and that's a hell of an accomplishment.

    Lara is a limited brawler and a bit one dimensional but you have to admit that he’s a dangerous puncher. He’s a wrecking ball of a fighter. I wouldn’t mind seeing a rematch between Wood and Lara.

    Only issue with your theory there is you make it sound like Lara was playing possum and it was his plan - it wasn't like that at all. Wood and Lara both hooked at the same time and Lara connected that was it. It could just as easily have been Lara on the floor there - just the way the cookie crumbled.
    But Lara was looking gassed, uncomfortable, and struggling with Wood's control of distance up until that point.

    Actually I think you have that title because of your delusions of grandeur. Unfortunately you don’t like the bitter truth.
