Comments Thread For: Mauricio Lara: I'm Going To Be Looking For The Knockout From The Very First Round

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Mauricio Lara is less concerned about replicating his dramatic title act. By his own admission, the former WBA featherweight titlist longs for a return to the unadulterated level of violence that saw him rise to prominence. Simply put, Leigh Wood should expect a much shorter night at the office during their second act.

What he should have been looking for was a portable $30 weight scale at Target and carried it everywhere. That $30 would have netted him retaining his title had he won the rematch tomorrow.

What a moron, he’ll probably get the knockout of Wood but then, having been stripped of the title, he’s going right back to getting avoided like the plague and not get another title shot for a few years. At least I’m hoping the tacos and burritos were top notch.

Lara can be out boxed and can be hit good. Doubt that Wood is the man to do it since he gets hit so clean and so frequent. Lara has been visibly hurt in his last few fights but he is very resilient.

No surprise! He's always looking for the KO.

This is why I laughed my azz off when I heard Lara disparage El Venado Lopez. Lopez would box his ears off and probably stop him late. Lara has no discipline.

Looking for the knockout is often not the best way to find it

I’m quite disappointed with Lara. I was really looking forward to this fight. I still am but shyt like this makes it less desirable.

Can’t believe he missed weight so badly.

Woods team should be fired for allowing this fight to happen. It’s one-in-a-million he wins. Should have gone on vacation and fought for the vacant title 3 months from now.

Problem is Wood isn't mandatory, this is a rematch because of a rematch clause. So there's a a chance that a vacant title fight 3 months down the line wouldn't have involved him. I suppose his team could have appealed and said he deserves it because lara missed weight and he lost his title opportunity. but that appeal might have took some time and there's no guarantee he would get it.

there's a chance fight today might be his only chance again to win a title again...so I think he's really had to take it under unfair circumstances where he's killed himself to make weight and Lara was nowhere near.
