Looking forward to this should be a good scrap while it lasts

A very even fight, Wood has better technique Lara punches harder. Whoever has a stronger ability to take a punch will win. Really good fight can't wait to see.

that'll be Lara then - Wood was all but out in the first 2 rounds against light hitting Conlan

no point in talking inside the ring, dont think wood understands spanish via a mouthpiece

A couple of things here. The headline is inaccurate. He said, God bless and be prepared, not because there will be a war. Number two, that headbutt was no accident. An accidental headbutt doesn't happen all the time.

Wood can **** but he’s got into some brutal wars by starting slow or just badly. I think Lara stops him but then I thought all those other guys would .

If he’s standing after 6 and way behind on cards, he might be worth a small bet

Leigh has to play the old man game. Don't let Lara bum rush him. Clinch him and cry in his ear about the rent and all his hungry kids. Don't let go without giving him something to take with him. Slow walk him, frustrate him. The longer it goes, the better Woods chances.

There's no way this fight goes beyond 5 rounds. Wood was done in the first round against Conlan, if there were another 5 seconds he would've got finished. Lara will put him in a box early.

Won't be easy for either guy imo
