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

[Jsrr]

I've been a fan of Lara since he KO'd Warrington but he was very dissapointing this week. First missing weight, and second tonights perfromance.
It's like he was not even trying. Not sure if getting stripped at the scale had anything to do with the mentality but it seemed like he was off from the beginning.
Most rounds, he would let 1 minute go by before he even threw a punch. He's better than that, I know it.
I also wonder if winning the title did not go to his head a little.

I follow both Lara and Venado on Instagram. Venado is always grinding at the gym like literally every other day. Lara not so much.
Wondering if he pulled a Ruiz after Joshua 1 and just spent a little too much time celebrating instead of preparing properly and training for his next match.

The dirty little head butting space raider better not be next in line for Wood, Eddie always seems to worm him into a title shot along with his drunken dribbling fans

Can’t stand the gob****e or his fans

Usually get behind British fighters but I can’t with Warrington . He’s a dirty mug

I guess Lara just burned his chances to get another Uk payday again. First he lost the belt on the scale, than he looked like he didn`t care in the fight.

Now he can go back to Mexico fighting cans like he did the most of his career.

Lol talk about being paid off Lara had zero intention of landing anything meaningful he literally did not do a thing. Guess Hearn said "fuxk it I'm making sure we get this fake title this time" not surprised at all.

Lara thought weasel hearn actually would favor him over his fellow brit. Lol

yes it’s all a conspiracy

No not a conspiracy just a good Ole pay off. Too obvious Especially when that fighter is an aggressive come forward high output power puncher but then all of a sudden cuts his output by more than half and fights off the back foot the entire fight. Lol

Kudos to Wood for doing his thing but, in my book, he only gets credit for beating a CLEARLY diminished Lara.

Lara was confident he'd catch him again , Wood never gave him the opportunity and got his respect with a great uppercut knock down which made Lara a little more weary .Great show of boxing, discipline and footwork from Wood. Ben needs credit for his calm, sound corner work.

Leigh Wood said he picked this date because he knew Lara would enjoy being champion too much. It looks like he was right
