Lara in 6

He bet on himself to fall in the 5th? I see he’s employing Hector Garcia’s rags to riches strategy.

Lara by KO, or a vicious beating then TKO in the middle rounds.

A lot of people have Lara winning but we'll see, both fighters have a lot of holes - but I think it does end before the halfway point.

This is what makes it an interesting scrap; Both have holes to their game and both can crack with pretty hard punches. I think Lara is the more durable and the more aggressive but who knows, either way someone is likely getting sparked out.

I think, the longer the fight goes, the better Woods chances. He tends to catch them late, when they run low on ammo.

I'm booked ringside! At least it seems Eddie has confidence in some of his fighters ! last time looked Lee was 1/3 underdog .If he can take Lara late he will stop him BUT those early rounds will be brutal .This Lara may not let him see too many! Hats off to Edward here!
I think he knows if Wood loses he's probably got a better chance of Wood v Warrington cross roads affair which will do well inside and outside the ring.

Wood is going to sleep in 6 or 7.

Lara by Murder in round 5!
