    Looking out for his fighter by getting him KTFO?

    Nah I know what you’re saying, it’s a contingency plan. This was terrible matchmaking though. Matchroom/Hearn clearly didn’t know anything about Lara and paid the price.

      Because that's what he agreed to. He didn't have to.

Styles make fights and a good solid Mexican who isn't scared to trade would give as good as he got with somebody like Warrington.

        Josh plants his feet and throws some beautiful power punches but there isn't much power in them. He couldn't deter the Mexican and then he didn't get back on his toes quick enough to get out of the danger zone.

        I like him as a fighter, good to watch but he has his limits. I can't imagine a different result in a rematch and I have no idea why on earth this fight would have a rematch clause. Doesn't seem necessary and the only thing he has got from it is a mark on the L column and he can't ever wipe that out.
        Yeah, Lara is slow but he'll get the better of the exchanges again.

          He’ll get KOed again. Bad style match up for him.

            Warrington fights like he has power. He needs to pick his spots more.

              Any indication of egg weights in Lara's gloves?

                A rematch is good for Lara....who the hell wants to fight this guy? No belt, killer punching power. He'll make a good payday, which he deserves. And let's be honest...he needs to KO Warrington because based on the scoring of the other fights there's no way he wins a decision.

                Warrington? If I were advising him I'd say rest for 6 months and re-evaluate your career. Then avoid Lara like the plague, clause or no clause.

                  Rematch clauses basically mean the underdog has to win twice.
                  Boxing is too corrupt for that ****.

                    Eddie Hearn and his rematch clauses/2 fight deals are a cancer in the sport not spoken about too often

                      Tbf he’s not the only guy doing it but he seems to use these clauses more than most. They are bullsh** though, immediate rematches only make sense of the first fight was inconclusive IMO.
