Shame - was really looking forward to Wood v Lara, that could have been a classic! (Although Wood might have dodged a bullet!)

Leigh said he tore his bicep but that he would be ready for a fight in December. AKA he didn't really want to fight Lara and he had second thoughts, no way you recover from a torn bicep that quick and can have an 8 week training camp to be ready by December for a fight. He's looking to hand his title over to Leo Santa Cruz for more money.

Top Rank has too many dates SMH

Great news. Good for the WBA. An upstanding organization. Let's enter 2023 with 13 weight classes containing 1 champion.

This is all very confusing. I suspect both LSC and Wood realized Vargas and Lara are just as risky for interim fights. And now the diva-ness in them suddenly diminished, particularly Santa Cruz.

Then there is this WBA which may be feeling cornered for their shady activities and trying to straighten things out. I mean letting an inactive LSC hold a title for 3 years with no pressure is strange.

Yeah you make a fantastic point. Because it's quite commonplace to set up VOLUNTARY defence of one's title, against a fighter you don't want to fight. Isn't it?

Just not the square one unfortunately.
