Mauricio Lara Acosta vs. Joshua Warrington II & Conor Benn vs. Adrián René Granados RBR.

Sounds like he read the playbook of journeyman Jeff horn.

 

Lara smashed the living **** out of him last time, beat him pillar to post and sparked him out brutally. He was clearly landing the harder shots here and Warrington was resorting to constant, blatant fouls. Lara gave him a rematch, Warrington ****ed it up. Lara owes him nothing.

Doesn't anybody know who Lara is ranked by?

 

Not watching the fight, but if it was going the way this thread is making it seem, then I think that this may be a case of a fighter quitting, without blatantly quitting.
Sometimes guys will intentionally try to get themselves disqualified when the fight isn't going their way or they think that they cant win.

See Donald Curry vs Tony Montgomery for an example.

 

Biggest payday around for him with a realistic chance of another win?

 

I just can't see how Warrington can beat Lara. He doesn't have the power to discourage him. He doesn't have the skills to outbox him. And he can't get away from Lara's right hand or bodyshots.

Lara is better during exchanges and he's got more power. Even in the 2nd round, you can see the tide changing. Lara was outlanding him and Warrington was getting discouraged.

 

Yeah, he relinquished his belt when he was meant to fight Can Xu and that fight fell through, then Lara took the first fight on short notice

 

A good night for the glaziers of Leeds.

Ringwalk longer than the contest.

 

I feel it’s not Warrington style to box and move, if it goes into shoot out, my money is on Lara.

 

So is it the belt Josh dropped the one Galahad won recently? Or was it that Leigh Wood?

I seem to remember Warrington having two belts for some reason.

 

Eddie Hearn 'I thought Lara was looking for a way out of the fight'

 

I think it took more out of Warrington to land shots than it did Lara. Lara was landing good body shots and all Warrington could do is use the high guard and try to keep a longer distance.

Warrington seemed to go down a gear quickly after he landed some successful punches where as Lara seemed to reserve his stamina better.

Who knows i think the mid rounds would have been more telling.

 

Nah, man. It wasn't like that. Lara did not look happy about the stoppage and the cut was horrendous. And as soon as Warrington headbutted and the action resumed, Lara turned things up massively and easily won the rest of the round.
