Josh Warrington vs. Mauricio Lara II - 4 September 2021

[Ruthless-RKO]

I only just relised this is competing with a UK ufc event, with Darren till in a good fight too.

Seems mental to accept that clash of schedules, ufc normally announce those events months and months out, I would of shifted a week if I was Eddie.

Its in Vegas but staggered for UK time. Till fights at 11:45pm according to Paddy Power.

If it was FW card I’d say it’s a clash, but Hearn usually has his main event before 10:30pm

Oh, Well, a UK timed UFC. still a big issue for viewing numbers i imagine, although admittedly the leeds show might of been made befor UFC said they were going to stagger the time.

3 really good fights on this card.

I'm not sold on Lara as a top fighter yet, and think Warrington can hurt him this time around. Two all action fighters - one of those fights like Froch/Groves II, Wilder/Fury, Joshua/Ruiz II and Frampton/Quigg that is a big arena/stadium headliner AND a total 50/50.

Hughes/Straffon is a really nice fight, and then I'm also intrigued to see how well Benn can perform against Granados, and what the tactics are.

Those three fights (the rest are of zero interest) should be great.

I also enjoy pretty much all of Katie Taylor’s fights but I can understand why people don’t.

The Hopey Price fight is a decent one too although I’m not a fan of his style.

It makes a nice change where we have almost a full card of fights where the B side will be trying to win. Compared to the BT show last week where 4 of the 6 televised fights had opponents who I genuinely don’t think were going in trying to win the fights.

3 decent looking fights and a couple more where the B side will try to win? sounds ace.

Agree dont care about the womens boxing but its a sad sight when we are all happy when competitive boxing is on. Just shows you how far the sport has fallen. Even though i still enjoy it

[forcefraser]

We are very easily pleased

Yeah theyve done a good job of lowing our expectations then exceeding those low expectations. Bravo!!

Looking forward to the fight. I think lara will win by ko again warringtons time has been and went thats my call

I’m buzzing for this, primarily for the main event. Honestly, I used to find watching Warrington pretty dull due to a lot of his fights following the exact same pattern (high volume 12 round decision with neither guy being particularly hurt at any point) but the first Lara fight was so different that I’m really looking forward to seeing how the rematch plays out.

Was there ever a time when there were consistently several competitive fights on a show in the U.K.?

Warrington goin to get beat tonight again I reckon but I admire him for having the bottle to try & get one back over Lara

[peter barlow]

Hughes Straffon is a good fight I'd have it chief support.

Katie Taylor is 1/50 to win so I'm assuming that won't be competitive. Ebanie Bridges is also 1/50 to win.

It’s gonna be second fight on card. Will be posting the RBR with running order soon. You can take a look

[Ruthless-RKO]

If Lara wins you reckon Ed will match him with Kid?

[ThereByTheGrace]

Depends. If its brutal then i doubt galahad would be keen to do it anyway. Might go to usa with lara build him over there.

[margaret thatcher]

lol, how low do they have to dig to find ppl who ebanie bridges is 1/50 against, what utter crap

omgle shes got just fake bolt on tattas though!! the repetitive awkward weigh ins! the goat fighting spirit! you must all watch her!

Yeh. Like she only fought 3 weeks ago.

Easy money for to keep getting fights.

Probably getting a few decent thou for these fights.

[margaret thatcher]

getting pushed because shes got huge fake rock hard tiddies, maybe breast implants are the way to go for wannabe boxer birds

[Coco]

Warrington, Benn, Taylor and Bridges are never in bad fights, this bill is more than acceptable.

Really looking forward to the Warrington fight.

[margaret thatcher]

bridges being lumped in there

what barn burners has she had , aside from losing 8-2 to shan courteny? that enough to revise all her fights into having been wars or something?


i agree, good card overall though, interested in lara-josh, maxi-straf, and benn-granados

I`m not sure about exceeding them - but its a good night of boxing. I`ve got half a bottle of Asbach to sit down and watch it with.

[Coco]

Price wasn't up against much but got the job done well, I did think that the ref jumped in a bit early.

Also good that Eddie has put on a good few local boys
