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

[BustedKnuckles]

Lara's work rate went down because A) he was trying harder for the KO and putting more into single shots, B) missing punches tires and discourages a fighter more, C) he was being countered more effectively. Wood was more motivated and defense-aware. The IQ gap between them was huge.

I thought wood would win the first match and was surprised how it turned out. This time, i just kept asking myself, "what is wrong with lara?" Slow. Wild misses. Whats the strategy here? Didnt look like a defending champ. Looked like the guy who won the belts by mistake.
