    He was KO'd by a guy who doesn't even have a wikipedia page

    Nah, I think he'll come back. Maybe not though, I think Lara will go into other big fights rather than become a Prescott or a Rosario.

    Lara vs Navarrete for the vacant IBF title is one juicy ass fight.

    Not sure what Warrington can do from that. He couldn't put a dent in him and got fucked up with every shot that hit him. It was a massacre.

    Did you see him chatting shit earlier when his paid off judges did the job he paid them off to do? Odious cunt.

    Warrington looked like a man who had been out for over a year but that doesn't explain why he tried to go to war with a guy who hit far harder and more accurately than him. It was an awful performance and he got destroyed.

    Ya but it seemed like Warrington simply couldnt get out of the way of those hooks. In recent times, I havent seen a world class fighter not being able to adjust at all like that.

    As I watched it I thought I saw a man with a terrible gameplan. It looked like they'd prepared to just bomb this guy out. When that didn't work, and started to backfire horribly, they looked lost.

    Can't say that I'm shocked.

    Warrington didn't blow me away.

    Hes a guy that Gary Russell would have annihilated, if Gary actually fought more than once every 5 years.

    You can't say your shocked?

    He was a 50 to 1 underdog....

    Naz would have eviscerated Warrington and Frampton.

    Warrington never impressed me much.

    So no, I'm not really shocked that he got butchered by a 2nd rate guy.

    Because he's a 2nd rate guy himself.

    I just watched the fight. Warrington would be wise to never pursue a rematch. I dont see how he could ever beat Lara.

    History is not on Warrington's side. Guys 30 and older with a high octane style like Warrington's, when they get destroyed like that, they usually are never the same again.

    If I'm his team, I build him back up against one or two no-hopers, then move up to 130 and cash him out against a Stevenson, Loma, or Davis.

    Some people thought Warrington was best featherweight in the world. And the odds reflected that.

    I dont think a guy as limited talentwise as Warrington should ever be a 50 to 1 favorite.

    And I dont care what he was considered - I've seen numerous fights of his, the the only thing I ever came away thinking was, "Good, decent fighter."

    The fact that he was considered the featherweight best is a testament to the fact that featherweight is the weakest its ever been.

    Warrington is inferior to a prime Scott Harrison, and we saw that in a strong featherweight era, Harrison was never considered more than a fringe guy.

    Yeah, but there's a real difference than that here. Warrington, second rate or not, was indisputably one of the top five featherweights in the world.

    Lara couldn't make it past the minute mark with Eliot Chavez two years ago. He was a 50/1 underdog, who had beaten absolutely nobody. Whether or not you think he should be favoured by that much or not, this is a collosal upset.

    This isn't a second rater losing to a second rater. This is a perceived bum beating the shit out of a top five fighter in the division.

    Ehhh, given how limited Warrington is, it's just not a shocking result to me.

    Teddy thinks in his mind that Warrington did not come enough.

    I hope he keeps fighting.

    I'd love to see him get knocked out again.
