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

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

This turned out to be a U.K. trip that Mauricio Lara would love to forget. One day after ending his title reign at the scale, the visiting Mexico City native was soundly outpointed by Leigh Wood who avenged a prior knockout defeat to regain the WBA featherweight title. Judges Victor Simons (118-109), Howard Foster (118-109) and Jose Ignacio Martinez (116-111) were unanimous in scoring for Wood, who prevailed in their DAZN-aired title fight rematch Saturday evening from AO Arena in Manchester, England.

Mauricio Lara lost the World Boxing Association (WBA) featherweight belt after failing to make weight on Friday. However, the Mexican will step into the ring to face Leigh Wood this Saturday but only the Brit will have the option to win the crown. (photos by Mark Robinson)

Lara/Wood 2 is top priority, followed by Lopez/Conlan. I know CBS brings entertainment, but I'm not sitting through an Okolie fight.

I feel that, and agree , but I’ll still have it on the tablet as third priority lol. For Egginton-Pigford at minimum

Mr. Sam & Egg is always one to watch, and Pigford has a high KO%. I guess I'll have a reason to tune in then.

I wonder what conditions/penalties will be set for Lara not making weight. Wonder if Lara could had cut down to 126 without the restrictions from BBBofC since they didn't like the check weigh in Wednesday. Lara weighted 133, an athlete can lose three-five pounds during a sauna in a day.

Also does anybody remember when Lara's trainer noticed something off with Leigh Wood's scale and Hearn tried to shut up him up, Matchroom turned down the volume, so I don't know what he said.

Wood will win every round against the fat Mexican.
