Comments Thread For: Mauricio Lara-Josh Warrington Ends in Two Round Technical Draw Due To Head Clash

[ArturoBalboa]

I think you should read my post again and see the point. He said Warrington "Was whooped" in those two rounds. Not that he was GOING TO GET WHOOPED.

Why would i bet with you and not a Bookies with better odds?

I had it one round each but Warrington was on his way into a war and a loss.

Because josh was favourite. If you bet me a straight 1k then It’s even odds money, that’s better odds than the bookies doh!!

For the record I’m a Canadian, not a Mexican or a Brit, here is how I see it:

I expected Warrington to win the first round just from feeding off the crowd and adrenaline. He did, but he looked very tight and nervous in the round and Lara was already starting to get to him.

In the second round, Lara was starting to tag him with power shots, heavy ones, and getting to him. A lot of these shots in the round landed even after the massive clash of heads.

I think Warrington was going to be in trouble and that cut was a Godsend to him. It’s a 8 to 10 round stoppage with Warrington maybe having moments along the way. I highly doubt Eddie Hearn makes that trilogy fight anytime soon, at least not until they can cash out on Warrington with some more winnable fights.

I definitely didn’t like how DAZN framed the result….

Exactly how I saw it too. Lara is a nightmare fight for Warrington stylistically and wins that fight 9/10 fights.

talk about a spanner thrown in the machine and putting everything to a halt...

Josh probably had a lucky break there.

Lol @ booking Headingley and everything though only for it to end that anticlimactically.

Josh had his guard tighter than ****s hat band. He wasn't about to keep that up for 12 rounds, he was already getting hit. I'll say it was an accident, only because he couldn't see where he was going, but he's no saint.

Warrington is a very dirty fighter and pretty limited skill wise.

He has guts though and grinds out the results.

[Reverb]

Warrington was walking into the same result as last time and he realised that pretty quickly. Steve Grey should have warned about that use of the head earlier. Warrington was up against it and played the game keeping his head in there.
Bets Hearn and Warrington run from Lara?
Tough call on Lara all round last night.
He ain't getting a fair shake.

Can someone explain to me how they decide if the fight is a no contest, no decision or technical draw?

You're the one who missed the point of my comment due to reading comprehension. Doh. Kidbazooka claimed Warrington got whooped in the two rounds which is delusional madness. He says mad shlt like this when Mexicans fight. He's well known as an idiot.

And what is the science you're basing your opinion on with body shots? Warrington was landing them too, so why wouldn't he be the one to get the KO in the later rounds? You say it like it's a guarantee to get a KO when many have gone to the body only to find themselves of the receiving end of a loss. Explain how going to the body is a guarantee? When has Warrington been hurt to the body?

Warrington was a lot more defensive this time out. He kept his chin tucked. He didn't open up wide with his chin in the air. Plus, he's more prepared now. Last time everything was shut down so camp was minimal. Now it's starting to open up again so he can get the best sparring. And although last time out he was on the losing end, that time in the ring is better coming into this fight, than going into the last one with being out for 16 months.
