Comments Thread For: Leigh Wood Watched Lara KO Over 40 Times: I Know I Can Put it Right!

[richardt]

Overhyped? Why is every single British fighter called overhyped by some of you guys, ffs. Just silly.

Leigh Wood was well into his 30's until he started making real money as a prizefighter.

He is what he is and he understands this opponent. Whether he can beat him or not is another thing.

Exactly! These British fighters take on risks and when one gets knocked out, he has the courage to fight the guy who stopped him. I've never seen so much hate towards any other group on NSB than what the British fighters get. And it's the same guys hating on every one of them over and over again. Like Regge who has the nerve to complain that british fighters have 3 rounds in the bag, yet fails to mention anything about Canelo having scoring advantages.

He has to be perfect for 12 rounds whereas lara has to be perfect for one second.

Doesn't always work - but they {we] try.
Warrington
Wood
Joshua
Yarde - not exactly but maybe braver to lose to Kovalev and then choose Beterbiev - or madness
Joe Joyce now
Chisora - bravery in bucketloads

Josh Taylor - notable exception - not KOd but notably lost

In all likelihood he’s toast again. Time and time again the brits underestimate the craftiness of the Mexican unorthodox style. They think they can box their heads off from a distance just to find themselves on their butts once inside the ring.

Oh yeah, Lara will put Wood on his ass and stop him once again. No doubt

What you mean is, Mexicans have the huge advantage of being active against inactive fighters? If it's not that, there's some other way to gain an advantage like not letting them have a full camp or draining them by contract. The facts are, Mexicans don't have any legitimate world call wins where there's a level playing field. If so, point them all out to me.

[Sid-Knee]

On the contrary! After reading his comments, we can clearly see he does't understand, and didn't learn anything.. Another overhyped British boxer going back to sleep after a wake up call.

Leigh Wood wasn't hyped by anyone. It wasn't long ago he was just a domestic level fighter. He got the chance again Can who had been out for 20 months which is why he was dominated. Then it was Conlan then Lara.

The biggest lesson: Don't exchange hooks with a hooker!!!

[LAchargers373]

He was doing great in the first fight just started landing a bit and left himself open for big shot. That said, Davidson screwed him there were 6 seconds left in the round wood had his wits about him he’s been down against conlan before it robbed us of a either a true KO or a barn burner of a fight that it was turning into. That happens in Britain a lot tons of early stoppages

Ridiculous. Who's fault is that if British fighters are lacking activity? Generally speaking they're arrogant, chinny and feather-fisted, ripe for the taking by these hungry mexican bulls.

Mexicans are going after anyone in world boxing who have the identity. Americans do it too. I mean, how many fights can you name at fringe and world level where there isn't anything corrupt or cowardly at play? List them and i'll happily point out what the problem with the fight is.

As for them being "Arrogant", it's quite ironic isn't it with this reply? The most poisonous, spiteful and arrogant people in all of sports is the Mexicans and Americans in boxing. No one comes close. It's vile. They're deranged extremists who makes things up in their head and casts it down as truth. They're warped.

Who is chinny? Leigh Wood for going over after turning into a big left hook from Lara? See what i mean? Deranged. If you think he was supposed to brush that kind of shot off and not budge, then it's clear you're one of the Mexicans i'm talking about. If you're including Warrington in this too after he took those bombs for 9 rounds after being out for 17 months, then i'll happily point out that every Mexican in history near enough must have the glassiest chins in history then as they wouldn't take those shots when even being at their peak, let alone their worst.

Look out for what happens to these "Young bulls" when they're in the ring with someone who doesn't have the disadvantage. The "Young bull" gets a one sided beating without so much as putting up a challenge. Funny that isn't it. Our guys actually give them the fight of their life or dominate until the inactivity plays too great a part. Your "Young bulls" don't do that even on a level playing field.
