Comments Thread For: Leigh Wood Regains WBA Title, Wins Dominant Decision Over Mauricio Lara

Disappointed in Lara , that 1st win went to his head ..............Did not come prepared

You need to learn something about Boxing IQ. Lara was NEVER going to outwork or outbox Wood. One punch in two fights and this time, Wood circled away from Lara's only real power punch, the hook. Again, Lara has NO Boxing IQ at all whatsoever! Lara came prepared to KO Wood but guess what? Wood never let him land that haymaker.

The boy was bought. He had no incentive to win and no interest before. I'm not saying Hearn sent the taco trucks after him, but his reign of terror is over. Rematch clause?

Good win for Wood. Stayed disciplined and picked Lara off.

This was a good result after hearing all the KO promises from Lara.

There is no conspiracy at all. In the last fight Lara was swinging for the fences and missing wildly and tiring - just like this fight where he was swinging for the fences and missing wildly - except this time Wood circled away and countered him perfectly. In two fights Lara has exhibited ZERO boxing IQ and only one lucky punch in two fights.

I'm surprised anyone thought Lara vs Lopez would even be competitive. Lopez circles, uses angles, has great timing, walks you into punches - THAT is what a Boxing IQ is. Lara is dumber than a box of hair when it comes to boxing IQ and has only one punch.

Their fights were a lot like the two Terry Norris vs Simon Brown fights!

If Conlan continues his career, I don't see them putting him in with anybody with power for a while

Too bad since it be interesting considering both are off coming from a loss.

Hope both bounce back, styles makes fight and it be pretty fun match em with other top contenders in the future. A loss isn't the end of their career for them as Hearn made it out to be. Can see Bronco fighting Reiya Abe, Isaac Dogboe or Ruben Villa after a tune up.

Great performance.

Wood will win every round against the fat Mexican.

well **** me, a prediction actually came true for once
