I’m sure Josh will be interested if Kid can bring something to the table, so good luck to him.

Boxing is all about timing. He got good wins over weight-drained Selby and Frampton in 2018 and gave all the talk of big fights in Vegas. He was forced to box Barry and since then he's seemed reluctant to leave his own house.maley1984 wrote: ↑27 Jan 2021, 13:41Pugilist-specialist wrote: ↑27 Jan 2021, 11:41He'd rather take the likes of Takoucht or Lara who bring nothing.mickey1975 wrote: ↑27 Jan 2021, 11:36 I’m sure Josh will be interested if Kid can bring something to the table, so good luck to him.

Lmao he fought and beat his mandatory after it was called. Yes the fight was put back but that was due to injury. His proved he will fight anyone. If he doesn't get a big fight after lara then his made himself look silly with the vacation. Pressure on hearn to deliver. Your going on like kid is a monster of the division whats his best win.....

I haven't made him out to be a monster. He might be one in the mind of the "Leeds Worrier". Something made him perform one of the biggest ducks in boxing history.maley1984 wrote: ↑28 Jan 2021, 06:09Pugilist-specialist wrote: ↑28 Jan 2021, 05:51Boxing is all about timing.

If Baz put up half as good a fight as or Pug, he’d be world champion by now.

“One of the biggest ducks in boxing history” is, at the very least, a huge exaggeration.

Very huge exagg IMO.mickey1975 wrote: ↑28 Jan 2021, 10:49 “One of the biggest ducks in boxing history” is, at the very least, a huge exaggeration.
Warrington has been there, done that and wants to challenge himself with world class boxers, not domestic level opponents. Move on with his career whilst he's still in his prime. Boxers are bigger than belts anway. As one of our posters always reminds us, boxers are PRIZE fighters and NOT PRIDE fighters.
I'm not even Warrington's biggest fan, so i'm very mutual here.
Kid's got his title shot now, he shudl focosu on that or he'll lose that fight too.

There's a separate thread on boxers quitting the world title. Few quit for non-title fights. History doesn't look back kindly on those who did.

Not that it particularly matters but has a venue been announced for this bill yet?

Re: Josh Warrington vs. Mauricio Lara - 13 February 2021
Ultimately for me one has to respect Warrington and his team for the career choice they have made ( they’ve made good choices before ) .
IMO He’s earns that respect by beating the champion Selby and winning a difficult defence against Frampton - both in sensational style. In addition He has also beat his mandatory in Galahad, admittedly in a stinker.
He’s now clearly put faith in Hearn delivering a big fight next - with or without fans though that will be made much more difficult without the belt and during the pandemic.
Galahad too has made similar choices throughout his career .
He won vacant titles at British, Commonwealth and European level . Not once did he defend those titles never mind face a mandatory! ( Gavin McDonnell picked up and defended two of those ) .
He chose a different career path and dropped titles , picking opponents that eventually led him to a magnificent opportunity against Warrington. He failed miserably on the night with spoiling and negative tactics that gave the impression he was there only to survive and collect a pay day !
If only he’d have employed a more positive, aggressive and entertaining style then fans would have been screaming out for a rematch win or lose.
