Round-by-Round: Leigh Wood vs. Mauricio Lara | DAZN - 18 February 2023

[Sweet Dick Willie]

Well that's just ridiculous and another example of what british bullshit officiating is all about

[keithmoonhangover]

Lads he was fcked, he woulda been ktfo before the bell sounded for gods sake! Tough to take but his safety is more important

Five seconds left, Lara not in the neutral corner, ref still checking on Wood.

Wood was fcked. He could barely stand up straight. Maybe im going soft as i get older but i would rather a fight be stopped where the loser can come back another day than let it go on for him to be starched....all just for my own entertainment

I've seen people come back from a worse position than that to win.

Theyll move Lara up to Super Feather and put Wood and Warrington on for the belt.

Me too. If I was Wood I would think this guy isn't a great strategist.

[rd350lc]

I think a rematch is fair, Wood appears able to stick to a game plan, just needs to resist the temptation to do certain moves against Lara.

Like trading, pretty stupid and he was doing great at range .
Up until that point it was a great effort from Wood and a few body shots really forced Lara back .

Bellew is a massive nob

Doesn't matter. No top trainer throws in the towel there. Do you think Dundee, Stewart or Futch stop that fight there?

[margaret thatcher]

ive seen a guy dropped 4 times in the same round and come back to win, doesnt mean we should use at as the standard of when to stop a fight. most fighters who are floored badly and staggering around dont win that fight

i can see it both ways tbf

[Kilburn]

I certainly don’t take issue with the stoppage. As fit as Wood is it seems hard to imagine he could have shaken off that bomb.

Clearly? He clearly won two rounds.

So have I but I have also seen people completely starched as well

if it doesnt matter then neither does the fact that some guys have come back from worse

[CaptainSpacerod]

Bellew's wrong to compare the knockdown tonight with the Conlan one, this was a very heavy knockdown and he wasn't right when he got up

[Ruthless-RKO]

Bellew spouting shite as usual.

ridiculous, though aren't you the guy who had canelo-bivol 115-114

He was in pretty bad straights against Conlan and came back, maybe not quite as bad , not great corner work for me , should have made the call with him back in the corner.

[blanca]

I certainly don’t take issue with the stoppage. As fit as Wood is it seems hard to imagine he could have shaken off that bomb.

This. Even if he survived the rnd he was so fcked there was only gonna be one winner IMO

[blanca]

I fckin hate bellew, bet he's a slimey rat

[margaret thatcher]

tbf......it's possible he wouldnt have even made it back to the corner. if we knew for sure that he would've survived the round, i think everyone would support having a look over him. but the ref was waving them back to box with enough time for lara to throw some big shots

My point is that some people come back from that. You're saying some people don't. Same thing. Some do, some don't.

[Ruthless-RKO]

I mean maybe.. see how he is in the corner in a few seconds. Maybe then retire him in the corner.

exactly, so if my point doesn't matter, as you say, than neither does yours

Yeah thats me. But I was drinking very heavily back then.

I think Lara is one of the few real world champions now in this era of boxing.
