Comments Thread For: Mauricio Lara Beats Down, Knocks Out Josh Warrington in Huge Shocker

[sterling]

I'd definitely keep Warrington away from Lara in the near future, another brutal KO to him and his career is over. Can he avoid that power for 12 rounds? I'm not sure. Risk/Reward ain't there. Next fight needs to be against somebody with little power to get some confidence back. I'd try to get 1 win and then go back after Can Xu. Xu is like Warrington light, a pressure fighter with little power. Looking at the rankings, maybe somebody like Osawa who was KO'd by Valdez a couple years back, get some confidence back and then go after Xu's belt when you can pack a bunch of people into Leeds again.

I sort of agree because his confidence is going to be shot now. Warrington can beat Lara though and was busting the guys face up but he was fighting like he had power and was trading with the bigger puncher.

Always thought Warrington's lack of power would hurt him at some point. Definitely was not expecting it to be in this fight. Shocking to see the way this one played out. Credit to Lara.

Warrinton allright, well see how he bounced back before I'll write him off he just got out gunned. He landed some monster shots of his own but Lara took them well at once point i think had warrinton just threw the 3rd and 4th he could have put lara down hard but he didnt and missed oppurtunity bite him.

Too much talking and didn't give his opponent enough respect. Got what he deserved.

I wouldn’t say hype job just got beaten by a Better fighter.

If Lara was a better fighter than yeah he was a hype job.

Welcome Lara

WTF. Why are they talking about Lara like he's riding off into the sunset after this. Dude is 24 years old, he just jumped onto the scene and has the world at his feet now

I was also confused AF with those commentators. If the other fighters avoid him 'cause he Has no belt, then those fighters have no manly parts. WAR Lara 🥊

Yeah Lara isn’t overly impressive he just beat someone who wasn’t as good as the hearniacs tried to make him out to be. No power at all. And it was appalling how sycophantic the commentators were, just downright biased against the Mexican. No matter what, congratulations to Lara. I love seeing the underdog win, especially when he goes to someone else’s country and MERKS the favourite
