Round-by-Round: Mauricio Lara vs. Josh Warrington II - 4 September 2021

[peter barlow]

Who will Warrington fight now if not Lara or Galahad? Leigh Woods tied up.

Not as if he is a big draw outside Leeds, and he has no belt or mandatory position.. Gavin McDonnell in December mentioned

Why would he have to leave Leeds? His fans will travel, too.

Excatly ,, whats he too do , go fight a rematch in Mexico , ,,, He's a draw in Leeds , be stupid to fight out of England and crazy not to fight in Leeds , facts are he can draw a crowd , and if he has any sence he'll relize his value and make Eddie jump through hoops to get him WHO HE WANTS ,,, when and where he wants and make some good money

Its boxing and Ediie is grooming the likes of Connor Benn with old men , he's looking for women with big tits , old men past it or u tube stars , ANYONE he can who will sell ppv and tickets , and Eddie will drop him like an hot brick the minuite his stock goes down and the drunken louts stop paying to watch him , Nope i would be telling Eddie , you want me headlining and bringing on the Koalas to fight old men for top dollar while they and you are on Utube telling the world they need 2-3 fights or years to learn , well fook em,,,, not of my back , SHOW ME THE MONEY

Regardless of like him or hate him , Warrington , brings a crowd and will put it on the line in a hard fight , personaly i like him , he jumped into that rematch with a very dangerous guy who could of wrecked his carreer , ,,, to be honest i think that headclash probably saved whats left of his carreer

Luke Ayling at ringside doing wonders for stop the abuse campaign by yelling f**k off at Lara and flicking v signs at him and his corner. One of the thousands there who didn't have a clue about boxing

It was basically a boxing show in front of a mainly football crowd. Up in the stands, every permutation of leeds united chants rang out all night, well those, and quite a few anti-man united chants too. Plenty of "fxxk" the mexican malarky too. During bouts, there were the "stand up if you hate man united" ditties, with most folk obliging. Understandable given the setting but a bit tiresome by the end, particularly when the cheer leaders would stand with their back to the ring to orchestrate these things whilst there was actually boxing going on in the ring behind them. Bellew was targeted with "scouse fat baxxard" chants too. Bridges was definitely very popular with the crowd, you'd be forgiven for thinking she was a leeds lass if you didn't know any different.

Ayling looked a proper c*nt along with the older bloke with specs, in Warrington's corner:
as if the game isn't hard enough and this clown is calling out Lara's heart.

Obviously the player gets praise in certain quarters in cyberland for his idiocy.

Dumb and Dumber.

The running order on Hearn’s cards are terrible & have been for a long time. Too many good fights happen at 7 or 8pm & then you get shit women’s fights or Campbell Hatton before the main event.

I end up missing or not getting to watch good fights & then been bored to tears before the main event.

You could tell the Leeds fans weren’t interested in the Taylor fight one bit. I’m yet to meet anyone who cares about women’s boxing. I had to laugh when Hearn mentioned doing a women’s PPV card on Sky a bit back. They wouldn’t have sold 10,000.

[Pugilist-specialist]

Not sure if it's been discussed, but does that mean Lara has exercised his rematch clause so could now give Warrington the two fingered salute and go for a world champion?

I doubt Hearn had inserted 2 rematch clauses.
Lara had drinks thrown on him on the ringwalk and then a referee who didn't seem to notice Warrington's lubed head butting him. He's already KO'd Warrington. He doesn't need him.

He has for years. On Saturday night he spoke of unifications in the States. He forgot that they'd quit the belt to avoid the mandatory.

Lara is not getting that payday anywhere else

I wanna see Lara move on. Watching the fight back, seeing Warrington’s team question Lara’s heart was hard to take. It was a 3 inch cut caused by a butt in round 2 with everyone, including Steve Gray against him.
Team Warrington should be sucking Lara’s balls hoping for that 3rd fight. Warrington has had some tremendous wins but his career would be defined by his loss. He needs Lara a lot.
No way Hearn pays Lara what he will demand going forward; they were still selling every priced ticket on the day of the fight.

It was pretty full, but I take your point and I agree, Warrington needs to get the win. Didn't see many mexicans in the crowd so the conundrum is making the shows finances balance the books, if I were Josh I'd be thinking, well I bring in these paying fans, nobody tunes in to watch Lara, so I don't want to take the short end of the wedge. He caused the cut with his head so if he wants the eventual win, he should cut his cloth accordingly in my opinion. I'll be interested to see if the Dillion Whyte show, on DAZN, is part of the subscription, or if it is gonna involve some sort of PPV charge. I think I read or saw in the last week or two, Hearn being a bit vague on that. He claims it is gonna be an amazing show. If it involves an extra charge, I think it signifies that the DAZN money tap has already been turned half off.

[DrDuke]

It didn't look intentional, but somehow Warrington was headbutting a time after another through those 6 minutes.

I had seats free around me in the south stand and on the morning of the fight I checked stubhub and still they were selling tickets.
I did bump into Tony Sims at Maccies 70 miles south of Leeds and the rest of his team.
They looked fucked off.

I was in the south stand, with my back to the wall. Great seat for forty quid to be fair. Hardly a spare seat around where I was.

The crowd were, as I said in an earlier post, mainly Leeds United fans. Most were up and ready to go the moment the fight ended. I was one of them, for a change, as my girlfriend was due to come over to mine once I got home and I could guess it would be a technical draw.

I got there for about 6.40 and was miffed I'd missed Bateson. Will catch it on Dazn replay this week.

Personally, I loved the whole show, it was a cheap ticket, but a much better view than when I saw Brook vs Spence down the road in Sheffield. I don't have an issue with the womens boxing, it is what it is. Was chuffed Hughes won, from the stands it was hard to appreciate his work, it seemed closer. I think the crowd interest faded a bit when Conor didn't flatten Granados and it was heading to points. Overall the crowd seemed enthusiastic, you know what you are in for at a Josh Warrington hometown fight but personally I could have done with a few less pissed up Leeds United fans chanting through the evening. At the risk of sounding like Spock, Man United are just in a different dimension entirely to Leeds, so to spend all night chanting bile against a superior team when drunk seems a bit pointless really. Overcompensating for how uncomfortable reality is I guess (and I'm hardly a Man United fan). Bridges was well over with the crowd but there was a gap in the boxing so whoever got in the ring at 7pm when it resumed was going to go down well.

Most people thought Warrington won when it was waved off… then n realisation kicked in everyone left subdued.
Was a horrible experience tbh.. good card but ruined but the football fan base. Was happy to leave.
The fact I’m from Lancashire and was subjected to Yorkshire songs all night made me want Lara to win by heavy KO.

Perhaps not for the next fight but DAZN have shows in Mexico and USA. He's highly ranked and he's battered Warrington once. He may be better off getting on with his career then risking getting stiffed over here again.

[mickey1975]

Would Kid take the short end of the deal for a rematch?

[Coco]

Would Kid take the short end of the deal for a rematch?

Obv he won't want to, but he needs to work and will take the best deal going. I reckon he will get most money for Warrington even if Warrington earns more or if it is a 50-50 split.

[peter barlow]

Don't think that Galahad fight will happen, Galahad probably better trying for unification in America and he can win them.

Is there a chance Warrington moves up in weight? What about Zelfa Barrett or Joe Cordina fights? Gavin McDonnell been mentioned too

[JamesPhilips]

All I can say is that now I really dislike Warrington and will be hoping for him to get a terrible beat down soon. Mind you I have no love for Barry Awad or his 'brother' either.

For me whether you love or hate him Warrington always brings it, can't fault his balls or fighting heart.
Often this is demonstrated most in defeat and he showed that in spades, proper example of going out on your shield, gotta respect him for that.

Yes he does. Wel until the last fight when they lined his head up to headbutt Lara consistently…… I don’t think they wanted the technical draw, but they definitely wanted him to use the head and bust up the Mexican and totally disrupt his game plan. Holyfield style. But even worse.

[Old bones Ian]

Crap chief support. Nowhere near enough depth or quality in women’s boxing, 99% of the fights are like watching sparring contests. Shame that Obeneuf brutally murdered her husband, she was an enjoyable watch.

Lol I missed that! https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13403793/ ... and-death/
