    We are lucky he didn't throw the towel back to Davison and make the fight go on :)

    :lol: He literally lost consciousness for a ever so brief second. Watch his eyes close as he's falling

    Lara hits harder than Groves. :lol:

    But srlsy, Wood/Conaln and Froch/Groves were all early on so I guess trainers see recovery as more probable. Fact is though: Wood trained, put in the woek. The hours, the blood and sweat for this moment - it's now or never. You have to give your guy every possible chance, without endangering him. I think the round should've been ended, reassessed their man and then pulled him after a minute's rest. Also, if he goes on to win the rematch comfortably, and gets his scalp, maybe we'll be saying something different.

    Give it a few days, then months, the resentment will grow, and Davison will be quietly let go before the start of his next training camp.

    Goddamn what stubborn people, if the main man thanks other day to live, and healthy,
    With what conscience can't accept the right decision?

    I personally don’t think so. The guy was ****ed up.

    He could have also been knocked out. Start at 2:50.

    WoW just watched the end of this, considering how he got up stabilized a bit put his gloves up to show the ref he was ready. And Ben Dunce threw the towel in WTF check out how he came back against Conlan

    Mosley had a career ko percentage of 67. Lara is at 65, at 24 years old. Don’t be so quick to dismiss the facts. There was plenty of time for Lara to get a combo in especially when he was right behind the ref.

    Thats now how fights are started after a knock down. You are suppose to be in the neutral corner. He isn't going to get to pounce on Wood from behind the ref.

    Mosley was 32-0 30 kos as a LW, lets not dismiss that fact either. What is that like a 98% KO ratio? I don't like comparing other fights because every fight has a different set of circumstances. I stand by what I said earlier, and that it was a bad call on the corners behalf and that he should have been given the chance to finish out the round.

    Really enjoyed this fight. Kind of a shame that Wood lost because he was building up to be somewhat of a name among Brits and a minor DAZN star. I don't know how many Lara rematches the British public can stomach at this point
