Another unnecessary rematch in my opinion.

[Stab Master Arson]

The first fight ended conclusively. I'm not sure why a rematch is necessary.

I know why they're doing it, obviously.

[Tag, You're Hit]

Dan-b and Stab, I disagree with y'all. I'm looking forward to the rematch because while "the first fight ended conclusively" it was a good, close fight that Warrington was winning before he got clipped. And it had a lot of action. And they'll bring a great fan base for an exciting outdoor event. I definitely see the money side of things, but as a fan I'm interested.

reMatchroom.

I'm not mad at this at all. It'll be all action again, both are towards the end of their careers, while not totally spent. This is about their level now.

Happily watch them beat the crap out of each other again (although Wood/Cordina for a belt would also be good).

You're not wrong, it was a very good fight. I'd just prefer Wood moved on to bigger and better things. I'll still watch.

I wouldn’t give the rat a rematch

Must be good money on the table though I imagine

It was compelling viewing the first time but the finish was so conclusive it doesn't need to happen again, I don't see why we get rematches like this all the time in this sport, they're beyond pointless.

At least Woods already vacated the belt so it will probably be a tune-up fight at 130 which won't be as bad I hope?
