This coming weekend we're going to see another exciting fight, Warrington vs Lara II. Josh lost to Mauricio in the first fight, but at that time, he is 30-0, former champion and the huge favourite to win that fight. But clearly he was beaten in his own soil by Lara from Mexico.

For sure, Warrington went into hell but it seems that he can recovered mentally as he requested a rematch and wants redemption. On Lara's part he wanted to proved that it was no fluke.

You can watch the highlights of the first fight here.

And here is the betting odds, Lara is no longer a huge underdog, but Warrington is still the slight favourite.

I think Josh will box his way through a decision win here. He can't go brawl with Lara this time as the Mexican has the power and a tough chin as well.

we can see that even josh lost to mauricio last time they met inside the ring, josh is still favoured by bookies though the gap is not that wide. can josh redeem himself this time or will be the same result? am certain, josh did prepare on this fight because if he wants redemption. but we can never underestimate the prep of lara as well.

Here's the explanation of Sean O'Hagan towards Lara that he's been overlooked.

Based on his statements Josh will be fighting differently on this match, compared from previous fights he had with Lara. Somehow going into brawl with Lara, definitely he can't beat the power of this guy unless he's lack of training. But as of now, I'm confidently seeing him having higher advantage compared to Josh even though there's commendable praises came out from Sean.

Yes, it's because Josh he still has the tools to beat Lara. The problem in the first fight is that he goes there thinking he can overpower Lara in the first couple of rounds. But that dude is durable, he take every shots and then give some as well.

So this time I think Warrington has learn his lessons on the first fight and won't go bang in the first couple of minutes and will use his jab to score points every round.

Kudos to Josh Warrington to take the rematch within the year, question is:

Does Josh really recovered mentally from that big upset?
What new strategy him and his training plans for this fight?
What is Josh loss again in this rematch?

I think I will go with the underdog here if I will have to bet on this fight. For me Josh hasn't recuperate yet from the devastating knock out he suffered from Lara.

We will never know, until we see them in the ring.


Not to engage with Lara, simply as that. He have seen that he can brawl only, not that technical because he has a good chin, or Josh really doesn't have the knock out power as shown in his records.


He can go up in weight, or cherry pick a fighter so that he can bring his confidence back.

---

Yeah, he has the balls to ask for another fight after he was KO, but I think he know what to do and will re-adjust in this fight. His back are against the wall here, and usually good fighters has one great fights in them so this is redemption for Josh.

Lara is the typical Mexican that you can find out there, willing to sacrifice his face, like Antonio Margarito because they have a very touch chin. And it was a rude awaking for Josh, Mauricio took his soul and take his 0.


Maybe, but once he taste that power again, he will see flashback of him getting hit and knock out on the canvass. It will be a hard fight for Josh more than Lara here as he has to prove that he can get back again.

Josh Warrington is a great boxer and his defeat in the first fight will be a lesson and learn from his shortcomings, and in the next fight Josh must be wary of Mauricio Lara's left-handed speed punches that knocked Josh down twice in round 4 and 9 KOs.
The second fight will be a very interesting fight, whether Josh will make up for his defeat and be able to take down Lara like he knocked down Josh twice, and I won't miss this fight because usually a second fight with the same boxer will be interesting to see.

This will be a good fight since we already have some good fights in the upcoming days. A nice warm-up such as this will be good. I think this will be a close fight since they already know how to counter each other moves. most likely second fights are the most intense and will give the fast the intense and excitement they looking for. Even those who are watching at their home will enjoy this fight because both fighters are known to exchange power punches in the early round.

They both give it all in but Mauricio had made him drop twice in the first fight but somehow the odds' like disregarding Mauricio's victory. Mauricio calls the medical team to give Lara a hand., they are both very exhausted at that time.

Very exciting fight to watch especially because they do it like the warriors toe to toe. Because of that, I believe they deserve a second match.

“When I was reviewing the fight, I, squeezing my toes, did not understand:“ What were you doing, Josh? Why did you box like that? ”
Upon analysis, it became obvious that these are generally childish mistakes.
I tried to put out the fire - with fire. I started a fight until he knocked me down, but after that,
in the fifth round, that's when I started to interrupt him easily. But by that time my shoulder was already injured,
I could not close my jaw, my ear was in meat, I was really not myself, and it was already too late to do anything.

... it's hard to look at his defeat by knockout, but the most painful thing is to look at the mistakes he made during the fight.

Over the coming weekend, Warrington will try to reclaim his only defeat.

Yes, that's one thing that you can call with Mauricio, the sportsmanship. But this time is different as Josh is trash talking now and calling Lara's win "lucky". Of course, Lara will be mad for calling it a lucky win as he said, he work his ass on the gym and train very hard. So this time it's personal.


I don't think this will be toe to toe, Josh knows that he lost because he fight Lara's fight. Josh only deserves the fight because he was defeated by a KO and wanted to take revenge.

That left hook of Lara has some serious power behind it, throws it with intention to really knock out anyone. And it happen that Josh was receiving a lot of heavy blows, not just the left, but the straight right and upper cut and body shots.

That is the interesting part whether Warrington can adjust to the style of Lara that is a banger. If he wins then maybe we can see a trilogy as well.

I don't think it's a childish mistakes, he is unbeaten that time and Lara was supposedly to be an easy fight, but Lara is not a push over fighter, this is a Mexican.

After the first knockout, it was over for Josh, he has no legs and then his corner didn't advise him what to do. He continue to fight fire with fire and then the left hook that put him out cold in the canvass. Josh should reclaim his defeat this weekend, but still very dangerous fight for him.

In their first fight to be honest Lara already win when he knocked out Warrington in round 4, Warrington only push his body to fight even though he already know he can't beat Lara in that's fight. Warrington's supporters doesn't expect he lose since his career is still undefeated, but IMO he should've lose or draw when he fight with Kid Galahad before.

Losing 2 fight is just a number for Lara, 15 KO from 22 match is more amazing than that. I hope this fight will be interesting and exciting to watch, Warrington need to be tougher than before to beat Lara.

Final weigh-in video below, go fast forward 39:19.

Both of them have no problems making the weight for this fight. But unlike the first fight, it seems that their are intense in their face off, couple of shoving and Josh is animated to avenge his lone defeat. Hard to predict this fight, yes as I have said, Josh will box his way to win in this fight. But I'm worried that he might be caught with an awkward left again.

Best of luck to those who are going to bet in this fight.

Edit: the fight ended in two round technical draw, damn!.

^^ It was a clash of heads, that cause the big cut on Lara's face, I would say it's accidental because of their style:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGHvE764tO8

It's really a huge cut, lost my bet here, disappointment for fight fans in the stadium to see the fight live and witness Warrington redeem himself in this fight. He wanted to avenge his defeat in front of his hometown crowd, unfortunately it won't happen.

Just seen this thread and I scroll on my favorite bookies to see what's the attractive odds but damn lucky me that I didn't bet on this fight as I don't know that the fight schedule was yesterday  ;D.

TBH, I'm not so familiar with these boxers, and if I were to bet I would still rely on who do you pick to win this fight.

There will be a rematch for sure so we will wait for that.

Didn’t expect this one to end in 2nd round with a draw, such a rare accident in boxing but it can really happen. Yeah, many lose their bets because their put their on money on a sure win boxer but the result is really different. I didn’t watch the whole fight but saw the highlights and I can really say, accident happens and we have to accept it.

I had a small bet on Warrington here but yeah, accident is really not expected here. So maybe, they will arrange for another match, right?? Maybe, before the year ends or early next year.

There could be rematch but I doubt that it can happen before the end of the year.

The damage looks pretty bad to me, it is deep and when boxers says that they can't see and quit, it means he is injured or something. I do hope that it was just a deep cut, but it will require months to completely heal. And not a broken orbital bone because it will require surgery.

Warrington vs Kid Galahad would be great. All Brits clash.

The highlights says it all, totally different style, Josh decided to box, but then coming forward that's why they have at least 2 headbutts that I have seen just in round 1.

But the last head butt, its really too bad that this fight has to end in a draw because of accidental head butt, but this is boxing the probability that will happen is slim but for sure this kind of events will occur. Yeah, go for a rematch again.

Damn, wasn't expected a draw on this fight.

Warrington still can't beat Lara, he's scared so he do headbutts to save from Lara's punch ;D If there's no accident big cut on Lara's face, Lara will win with Unanimous decision because we can see how Lara dominating the fight. I hope there's a rematch of this fight, a draw decision isn't make both boxer and viewers feel satisfied.

Lol, bro that's not the case, just accidents that are going to happen since he change his stance to southpaw. He was effective in using his jab, but Lara keeps on coming and when Josh trying to duck, they clashes head.

Yes, definitely, this fight needs a rematch, 1-0 Lara but Warrington wanted to get his redemption against the only person who heat him so far. Hopefully Lara can recovered quickly and go back in training and both parties agreed for a rematch again.

Lara already won the first fight decisively. A third fight is not really necessary at this moment. Lara will probably have to fight a mandatory sometime in the near future. If Warrington wants a rematch then he should work his way into becoming a mandatory challenger.

This is a disappointing match for both fighters and there's a possibility of a third match but it should not be immediate I see Lara winning the fight because he is connecting and Josh is hurting from those punches, this things happen when both fighters are engaging and coming and going inside, if the cut happens beyond fourth round they will go to the scorecard, but it's not, hopefully, they meet again we love fighters who are not afraid to engage.

The referee did give Warrington a warning about using his head isn't it? But still he didn't avoid it and continue to go head first and then hug, while Lara wanted more action that's why he is going forward.

Not blaming Josh here, but he should be very careful because the referee saw what is going on.

Disappointment for all boxing fans, we are robbed by a good fight. I score the fight 1-1, round 1 goes for Warrington, round 2 for Lara as he was connecting better and maybe that's the reason why Warrington keeps on ducking and accidental hit Lara while coming forward.

I'm not seeing an immediate rematch base on the eye injury that Lara suffered:

https://i.imgur.com/r5ovfE8.png

It's deep just under his eyelid, might require a lot of stitches to close it and more time to heal. And it could pave the way for Lara to have soft tissues on that area, so he might become a bleeder.

While Josh is still fresh obviously in this fight and possible to ask his manager to look for fighters before the end of the year to keep him busy. While Lara needs to sit out the rest of the year and would require medical clearance before he can fight again.

Although the ending is a big disappointment especially to Harrington who wants to revenge for his loss on their first match I don't see an immediate rematch because of the injury Lara suffered, but both fighters a rematch in the future, Lara will have to take some time to heal the injury, based on what I saw on the fight Lara is leading in the fight.

It might probably have the same result as their first fight. Warrington didn't show his best still even if there is a motivation to have 1:1. If Lara didn't get that slash right above his eye, Warrington will once again sleep on the canvas so instead of pretending to act like he is disappointed, he better just be grateful the referee stopped the fight because he could drop dead if the fight continues.

Lara is gaining momentum and he is hurting Harrington he is the one pacing the fight the cut is very ugly and the referee has done the right thing stopping the fight, it's very ugly that Lara will need a long rest to heal that cut, both fighters should go on I don't expect an immediate rematch, but there could be based on how they perform in the future.

Upon stumbling on Twitter this day, I saw this short clip of how Lara got his headbutts.
https://twitter.com/DAZNBoxing/status/1434274326870626312.

In the first and second round I felt excitement but the I know that Lara will have this technical draw by the head clash.

It's actually one of the most awaited rematches and I still put my bet on Lara. I have seen how strong his punches are and it's just that his injury was visible compared to Warrington. It will surely be tougher for both of them this time but I believe that Lara would still fight his best on the ring to win this match.

Just looking at the first two rounds, it seems that Warrington didn't learn any from the first time, except many try to push Lara and jab more. But he will be worn out by that style and probably loss this fight again.

Anyhow, I will be locking this thread, no need to discuss it even as the fight ends on a head clash with no winner. If the rematch happens (which I don't see happening), then I will reopen this or create a new thread. Too bad for us who beat on this fight.
