Comments Thread For: Warrington vs. Lara Rematch Still Targeted For September 4 at Headingley

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Josh Warrington's ring return is still penciled in for September 4 at Headingley, despite the event being refused a license by the local council. Warrington, the former IBF featherweight champion, had been lined up for a rematch with Mauricio Lara, of Mexico, at Emerald Headingley, the home of Leeds Rhinos rugby league team on September 4.

Normally, I can think of changes in a rematch that could make a big difference but Warrington's power isn't going to improve, Lara's power isnt going to diminish, not sure that boxing and moving will keep Lara off him for the duration of the fight. Not sure if there is any adjusting to the weight class. Seems like something other than what meets the eye could create a reversal of the outcome.

What does Warrington think he can do differently. Some fighters will say they were not in the best shape or underestimated the opponent or had other distractions and then the rematch takes place and the same thing happens again, sometimes sooner. It's either delusions of grandeur - or Warrington sees something he can capitalize on. Or is just rolling the dice and hoping for the best. And sometimes the winner of the first fight comes in with way more confidence and he himself improves.

Hopefully the Mexican brutalizes the whiny excuse making feather fisted Yorkshire **** one more time.

Think this again ends badly for Warrington, Lara's power is ferocious and I just can't see Warrington keeping him off for 12 rounds

Warrington is getting the rematch in his village. Just make it harder on the Mexican, maybe that will work? I would do it another way. Bring Josh to America for a tune up, nobody would complain, then make a big deal out of the rematch in Vegas. Does Josh want to depend on free pints at the pub?

Hardly a village. Warrington just wants the backing of the Leeds crowd. I don't think it'll work and this might be the end of his career.

That's what I'm saying, the end, but why not get a Vegas holiday trip for the family and a few extra spondulites out of it. The free pints are going to be there.

The Leeds crowd will definitely be a factor but in my opinion not enough of a factor to change the outcome from the first fight, I hope I'm wrong as I've grown a soft spot for Warrington since he kept beating boxers I was sure he would lose to, but can't see it happening to be honest

What are the betting odds gonna be?

Not sure if it will be the end of his career if it's another L, look at chisora, he's lost pretty much 20% of his fights but is still there and like Warrington he's an entertaining watch aswell in most fights but it will definitely be a huge setback for his career and if he doesn't bounce back swiftly it'll be hard to get the big fights after it's all said and done
