[Boxing]: Warrington vs Lara II -Sept 4

[Kemarit]

^^ 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:

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.

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 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.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

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:



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.

[smyslov]

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.

On many occasions I saw Harrington hurt, the headbutt is not really intentional and he doesn't want this outcome he wants to win big in front of his countryman, this is what happens when both fighters come to fight, we have a saying that style makes a fight this is the kind of style where both fighters are at risk to get a headbutt 

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.

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

Upon stumbling on Twitter this day, I saw this short clip of how Lara got his headbutts.

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.

[Baofeng]

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.
