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

Best thing would've to have Wood cover up with those seconds left and take a knee, if he had the wherewithall, - I'n not a fan of gum shield spitting - it's pretty cynical play. Otherwise - yep just let it play out for that 8 or so seconds and hope to hell he doesn't get put out.

I though of the corner shouting and you can see on the replay Davison is screaming at the ref, probably about just that. He also could have screamed instructions to Wood but ALL of tha twas so drowned out by the crowd and the bedlam in the ring no one is probably listening or hearing it. So I don't blame Davison for that. I mean, the fighter should be wiley enough.

Again, it was worth a punt and take a knee right near the end of the round after covering up for 5 seconds - you then get a few more seconds with an 8 count , but you run the risk the ref will stop it. A 10-7 round isn't the end of the world.

Clinching is not supposed to be allowed. The key word is allowed. Refs just don’t really penalize for it. But it is not a legal tactic. And plenty of fights have continued where the fighter wasn’t in the corner. I just posted a video where Mosley wasn’t in the corner.

 

Show me where clinching is not allowed. Clinching is allowed for short periods as a defensive measure.

The ref screwed up in the Mosley fight. As I've stated, this is a pro Wood ref and a fight in his back yard. The long count as well as the extra time to ask if he is OK, raise your fist , and who knows what else the ref will have Wood do...tells me he will send Lara to a neutral corner.

 

Davison could've let it go on. I think once all the emotions settle he'll agree to a point and resort to wearing women's panties and masochistically choke himself whilst he masturbates. Won't take it well at all.

I mean, it's not rocket science is it. Round was nearly over. If it was 2:50 on the clock, would you throw the towel in or give him a chance to dance around a bit? He probably would've let it go longer. Brains work in strange ways. Like 'Oh, I don't want to throw the towel in too early''

I mean I'd lean Wood in a rematch - 60/40

Davison had other plans for his charge.

Bigger than you or I can imagine

 

Again , where does it say clinching is not allowed.

Not convinced at all that is a Brits thing as much you like to claim rather an individual thing.Many Brits have been knocked out and did not recover. Remember how Azumah Nelson knocked Pat Cowdell out inside 1 round. He had been prepared to give Cowdell 4 or 5 rounds but when. Cowdell decided to try his luck toe to toe Uncle said you can go in 1 and in his beautiful words “O I am to bad baby”. Jimmy Mac McDonell did not recover either. Full credit to Barry McGuigan for studiously avoiding what was ready for him. Not every Brit has a Chris Eubank Snr or Carl Froch chin. Any way Leigh Wood claims he was done so I have to believe him.
