Comments Thread For: Mauricio Lara Beats Down, Knocks Out Josh Warrington in Huge Shocker

[Monty Fisto]

Why do Brits call it an upset? No one but Brits knew who Warrington was and overhyped him. The Mexican was fighting Mexican style, throwing and throwing bombs, it was either kill or be killed. Good fight.

I suppose your bookie had Lara as the favourite?

Admit it was an upset and you won't look ******.

Every bookie in the world had Warrington as a huge odds-on favourite and no further evidence is required that it was indeed a massive upset.

What in Sam Hill is wrong with that referee? The guy clearly had money on the fight he needs to be stripped of his duties asap.

The referee of course has a responsibility to stop a fight if he thinks a fighter cannot defend themselves. Warrington indeed looked in terrible shape after that knockdown in the fourth, but there is some mitigation in how there was not long to the end of the round and further mitigation that if the fight needed to be stopped to protect the fighter, his own corner were happy to let their man keep going for round after round after that.

a lot of upsets this last year, guys coming in with a "tune up" fight having been out of the ring a long time not being in the right condition and looking past their opponent.

I did not understand why Warrington wanted to trade so much with a bigger pincher he did with Frampton and won this time he came unstuck even from the first you could see the guy was heavy handed

That's just his style he always has done that just this time he met someone who had a punch he couldn't take.

Lara reminds me of Pipino Cuevas. Very limited skills but his POWER is scary!

Can you blame them. The weather sucks and their main sport is soccer! Or is it "football". Not! The NFL is real football![/QUOTE
Brief history lesson for this melt ...football came well before NFL! Football also has significantly more participation, fans and impact across the world.

Soccer? Boring......!

Was also ring's top rated 126 pounder, could understand some not liking his chances against Russell or Xu etc, didn't see anyone liking Lara's chances though.

On paper it was easy to over look Lara's record. But if they looked closely he has been active since December of 2019, he had like 5 fights so he was sharper than what they anticipated when Warrington was sitting on idle.

The only exciting soccer is indoor soccer. The outdoor game suck! NFL and NHL baby! Try them, you will love them!
