d-d-d-dAz Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I went with Nath to the Stoke/Reading recently to get him on the pitch at half time and do some press - he was properly famous outside the stadium before the game. Everyone wanted pictures etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted August 26, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted August 26, 2021 Crazy, if he can get to even a half decent level theres gonna be some fun nights ahead. According to Boxrec he hasnt even got an opponent for Saturday night yet but hes still bringing a shit load of coaches worth of fans 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-d-d-dAz Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 He’s got an opponent. No one you’d want to talk about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 2, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 2, 2021 Saturday: I dont think many people would have predicted a stadium rematch between these two at the beginning of the year. Josh Warrington losing to Mauricio Lara was probably the biggest upset of the year. It was a routine tickover for Warrington at the time against a guy who had never fought outside of Mexico. Lara dusted Warrington in 9 rounds, Warrington was hurt constantly in the fight and finally stopped despite being a 1/33 favorite. The jury is still out on Lara. Did he have the night of his life? did Warrington take him lightly? is Warrington finished? Is Lara better than anyone expected? who knows. Undercard is solid, the highlight being Benn/Granados which is carried over from Fight Camp. If DAZN loads up its fight nights like this we are in for a bit of a treat. The roster is a bit thin if they are to keep providing depth like this on a monthly basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted September 2, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 2, 2021 According to his Wiki, Lara has fought outside Mexico once, in Argentina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Looking forward to this. The first fight was no fluke, and it could just be that Lara has his number. I guess we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 4, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 4, 2021 ahh what a sickener! 6 minutes of good action and its done after a clash of heads. I thought Warrington would start super cautious but he got drawn in, to be honest i think he have ended up getting chinned again cause he was playing with fire. Warrington's ring walk was good though. grim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 5, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 5, 2021 Yeah was shaping up to be a bit of a war by the looks of it as well. Shame. Got to think Lara’s gonna be out a while with that cut as well. Vile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 5, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 5, 2021 Eddie said post fight they'd probably get Warrington back out before Christmas and then look to possibly set up a 3rd fight with Lara. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr JL Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I’ll be very surprised if Warrington fights Lara again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 6, 2021 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) It seems set up for Warrington to fight Kid Galahad for the title. Both guys are on the same platform so i wouldnt be surprised see them go with that. Warrington seems intent on fighting Lara though. Elsewhere on the card... Benn/Granados was strange one. By the around round 8 i thought Granados had basically sussed Benn out and won the last few rounds. Its split opinion though, i think one judge gave Benn every round. Felt like a sideways step for Benn. He's still must see TV though. Im over Katie Taylor fighting these random mandatorys. She levels above her opponents and until shes in another big fight its hard to get excited about it. Maxi Hughes stole the night. I think Straffon ended up being what people thought Lara may be. A guy who came in unheralded and hadcthe night of his life against James Tennyson. Hughes schooled Straffon for 10 rounds. The commentary team were rightfully praising it up but i think this was very much case of Straffon not really being much cop. Id live to see him back over though cause hes game.
