Comments Thread For: Warrington Says Mauricio Lara Spat at Him - Leading To Confrontation

[Sid-Knee]

As exciting as Lara is, and he's Mexican, I would have to say it's a failure of the promoter, that Mauricio Lara is not a seller in the U.S.! Lara should be on par with Navarette, Valdez, and Andy Ruiz! No way can an All-Action, Mexican fighter, fail to sell in the U.S.!

Andy doesn't do too badly. He can sell a ticket or two. Valdez can as well, but not as well as Andy. Navarette however, has never been a seller. But i don't think i'd go to the extent of calling them "Ticket sellers" by it's true definition. I only call someone that if they can sell something like 12,000 or more on a regular basis.

Lara would have to fight in the US a few times to build his fan base and see where it takes him. But he won't sell much if it's his first time.

He was winning on points but he wasn't dominating anything, he reminded me a bit like Khan canelo, where one guy was winning but everyone just knew that he was going to be swatted like a fly soon,

With Khan i agree due to the huge weight advantage Canelo enjoyed. But not with this fight. Leigh was in full control until he got too comfortable and looked to do too much. He didn't need to look for the KO. But he saw Lara sagging and tired and ready to go in the next couple of rounds. Next time he needs to keep him in the box like he did the first time and look for a points win. Don't look for the KO. If it comes by Lara forcing things, counter him and take him out. But just control everything with his clearly superior skill. Lara is a left hook with power and nothing else. Without it he isn't even worthy of being a journeyman. He is devoid in every area other than power.

Listen here brother, shove it before I smack you one. Don't make me drop a hoagie on your jabroni ass.

Wood can't beat lara the writing was on the wall was a matter of time.

Wood should also not even get the rematch the towel came in with the first sign of trouble, hardly needs to be run again

Speaking of Ruiz is it true PBC let him go?

Rule #1 Never hook with a hooker...
Wood will get Dropped again in the rematch. He won't be able to keep Lara of him for 36 minutes.

Home went full rtard when he saod Wood was going to KO Lara in a round or 2?

That made ZERO sense.

[Shadoww702]

Wood was dominating Lara and had him ready to go in a round or two. Lara literally has zero skill. He's a big punch and nothing else. Wood got too comfortable and traded hooks. Next time, he can be smarter and keep it at distance and not look for the KO. Just win on points. Lara was unwilling to lead in case he got caught by a counter and taken out himself. Wood just needs to keep him in a box and win on points. If Lara wants to leap from too far out, let him. Then you can sit on a counter and take him out. But only if Lara does get desperate.

"and had him ready to go in a round or two"

Umm hell NO! Lara was notngoing to be KO'd in a round or 2. But he did put Wood on ***** street. Just be glad Davidson saved him from a BRUTAL Finish.

I don't know? I know Wilder is "going his own way!" I would love to see Ruiz vs. Sanchez!!! That should be a good one!
