    Comments Thread For: Josh Warrington Looks For a Reset

    By Cliff Rold - It wasn't that long ago that there was beginning to be an argument that Leeds' 31-year old Josh Warrington (30-1-1, 7 KO) might be the emerging leader at featherweight. After winning the IBF belt in 2018 with a spirited decision over Lee Selby, Warrington managed three defenses including an impressive outing against former titlist Carl Frampton and a close one against future titlist Kid Galahad.

    He needs a great reset this dude, his stock has majorly gone down. He needs to rebuild his brand, then eventually that Lara trilogy will have to happen. I doubt he will fight past like 33 though because I don't see his style aging well.

      He has unfinished business with Lara.

        How does a knockout loss and a draw get Warrington a world title shot, while a win and a draw only gets Mauricio Lara to #2 in the rankings?

        Must be nice.

          He was never that good to begin with, people acted like he beat the same Frampton who beat LSC and it just wasn't so.

            I'm still not sold on him beating Kiko. My opinion seems to sway day by day on this fight. Kiko showed he still can **** it out after being hurt by Kid and Warrington has shown he is slowing down against Lara. I may change my mind before days end though.

              I think Josh gets knocked out. But if Josh gets knocked out or knocks out Kiko, ill be happy. Just hoping for a good fight.

                Warrington wins if he lasts the full course, because he won't be denied at home.

                But to me he was showing fear in the Lara rematch, and was already starting to unravel when the Mexican launched his attack. Lara's cut prevented Warrington from being knocked out again.

                I'm throwing money on Kiko in spite of the odds. He knows what he has to do over there, and the feeling here is that he will exploit Warrington's dwindling resistance, both mental and to solid punches.

                  Both Warrington and Kiko look shot to bits, Josh looks like he's had Sam Solimans legs transplanted. every time Lara hit him clean he turned into a statue.

                    How do you think Kikos power compares to Lara’s?
