So why did Lara mysteriously choose not to fight?

Thanks man, much appreciated - and needed (can you hear those bones creaking?) :lol1: Not yet but it's always loud around me. Lol

Wood is the much better fighter. He was beating Lara’s ass in the first fight and got caught. Had he been a little more careful in that first fight he would’ve KO’d Lara. That wreckless brawler was taking a beating until he managed to catch Wood with a perfect punch. I’d pick Wood to beat Lara almost every time. Lara is one dimensional and has terrible stamina and is terribly inconsistent. When the first fight was being promoted I thought he was was the older fighter, not Wood. Watching them in the ring, I still thought Lara was the old fighter. I was shocked to find out that he was 24! Dude looks like he’s an old looking 50 year old. Mauricio "Luis Ortiz Jr" Lara :lol1:

60 is the new 32, young champion.:boxing::boxing: Thanks man, much appreciated - and needed (can you hear those bones creaking?) :lol1:

Lara struggled with Woods jab and movement in the first fight too. Wood was dominating that fight easily too. Couple that with his struggles at making weight and whatever else was going on in his head and he just wasn't ready for it.

Thanks for calling me "young", my brother Rock... turning 60 next year :boxing: 60 is the new 32, young champion.:boxing::boxing:

I'm from '64 myself, we're on the same wavelength, brother :cool: Ford introduced the mustangmy pops wanted a son so bad so after 3 daughters he got me.. my sisters were small… I just came out big in our year… year of the dragon you and I… reapect brother

Lara didn’t even bother to train or make weight. He has gone from looking like badass road warrior to now being unskilled and undisciplined. In the blink of an eye.

What’s up with some boxers winning the biggest fight of their career (at the point), and just completely disregard their career for the rematch? You have to realize as the winner, the guy you just KO’ed and wants a rematch, is probably coming in a little harder for the rematch. So why would come in softer, and not train either the same or harder for the rematch? Andy Ruiz did the exact same thing vs AJ, and lost almost the same exact way.

We the same age Iâm a 64 model your 63 model I walk everywhere do my exercise and get medical checks regularly⦠I always listen to my body respect brother I'm from '64 myself, we're on the same wavelength, brother :cool:

Lara is either an idiot that decided not to win or is very limited and can be outboxed by someone with enough reach and power if they stick to a good game plan.

You young guys know how to live … respect Thanks for calling me "young", my brother Rock... turning 60 next year :boxing:

I'm sure you'll get a few honest answers in here, but you'll just accuse them of being racist towards Mexicans.

I think he pulled an Andy Ruiz. Got a huge win and thought he could win again without having to train hard. Coming in a 1-2lbs over means its probably time to move up, 4lbs over is a lack of discipline. On another note, Luis Alberto Lopez seems to be hungry, disciplined, and underrated. Id favor him over Wood 10xs out of 10. Wood takes Lopez to school

I don`t care, he lost.

Doing fantastic! Spent the last couple of days out in the salt water catching spot prawns in my boat. Tons of them out there, they’re HUGE and delicious. The sea remains the best thing there is, my friend.

Still alive, brother... living day by day. Hope you're doing OK, as well. :cool: You young guys know how to live … respect

He had a couple of pay days, money he never seen before. Came in heavy and didn't train. Followed the.andy Ruiz path no sugar coating at all … personal question are you in the military ???
