    He might have had an off night and affected by weight cut failure etc.

    ‘We offered him a great deal even with those caveats Kugs, life changing money’.

    Bet he got paid £100k absolute tops.

    There is that, he’s hardly in Barrera or Morales mould is he?

    And yet he's stopped the best Britain has to offer, twice. Maybe the division isn't that good.

    No one said it is though, have they? 126 hasn’t been a great division for almost 20 years.

    Lara was not explosive at all and far from his normal level, but big congratulations to Wood.

    He had no steam and was lethargic for the first fight as well, he was being systematically dismantled and beaten down, all he did was land one money left hook. Wood by the simple act of protecting his chin with his right glove and not hooking with a hooker, took that option off the table last night. That's because Lara when in with a superior tactician with power, is rendered utterly useless. It's not a fixed fight, it went exactly how a few of us thought the first fight would go, mercifully this time, without the hiccup.

    No, fair comment, and I guess you could say that it doesn't take the greatest division to have decent fights. I can just hear the upcoming hype for Wood-Warrington which is undoubtedly a late-career cash-out fight but top-notch boxing it isn't.

    Agree, Hearn will be hyping it up Hamed v Barrera. Puke in mouth.

    Another undeserved title shot for Warrington.

    Warrington and his vasoline’d up space raider head need ridding from boxing so hope Wood chins him.
