Leigh Wood vs Mauricio Lara

Four 10-8 rounds for CBS

 

Okolie down again in the tenth. Flash KD. Landed some nice punches afterwards did Okolie.

MTF

 

Surely only has to survive the last two rounds to win now for Billam Smith.

MTF

 

Okolie trying to score a dramatic come from behind KO

 

Another flash KD in the eleventh. Okolie is a fucking joke.

MTF

 

Five 10-8 rounds for CBS

 

Okolie has been a disgrace in this fight. Presuming he's lost, and he must have, it is entirely deserved. What a shameful exhibition of cheating that was from him.

MTF

 

Right, over to the other fight. Who's ahead in this?

MTF

 

We're getting a big money rematch at Wembley

 

I'll not be watching it.

MTF

 

A majority decision? What the actual fuck?

MTF

 

Lara is fat and PONDEROUS

 

Some cunt scored it 112-112. Three KDs and two points deducted.

MTF

 

Been excellent from Wood so far from what I've watched.

MTF

 

Wood just pot-shotting the ponderous Lara

 

Okolie had it coming and the odds were already stacked against him at dean court...have to laugh listening to Johnny Nelson sputtering indignantly at Okolie's "style", Nelson was cut from a very similar cloth...the guy who won though is a ham and egger, can't see too many defences

 

Damn Lara showed nothing at all for Wood this time. Wood just played it safe and showed just how limited Lara is, although he did what he had to do to win.

 

Nowhere remotely close to as good. We're talking about a guy who TWICE beat Forrest.

Lara is a bum.

 

yea i never thought mayorga won the rematch with forrest.

 

I thought he won 7-5. Forrest didn't impress in the rematch.

Still puts Mayorga leagues above Lara.

 

Raging i missed tonight's fights but it sounds like flaws got exposed all around

 

Nelson was a fast lithe guy out of Wincobank. Okolie is quite the opposite. A stiff fat guy who took up boxing to confront personal demons. Nelson was himself, especially early in his career, a hideously negative boxer. His approach was all the more infuriating considering how athletic he was.

 

Ok, notwithstanding I've not seen the fight....


.... This is the sort of domestic bullshit that needs calling out. 3 by 10-8 plus (-) 2 is 8 points in the hole.

So - 8 off the cuff.

112 points is 4:8 in straight rounds. Won 4, lost 8.


That means somebody was giving Okolie 9-10,10-10 in rounds he got dropped in or otherwise lost a point in.

Fine. Take the rounds he got docked a point for holding. Say he's winning them. Cool.

2 by 9-9.

Now give him 3 by 10-8 against.

42 - 48

7 rounds left to judge and hes 6 points down.

He's got to win 6 of those rounds with a share of one to pull out 112 points and a draw.

That means Billam Smith only gets a share of 1 round he didn't score a KD in and it also means he was losing BOTH rounds where, for some odd reason, his opponent felt the need to hold.

Its POSSIBLE - and that's the big problem here. Its explainable. But we all know its BS.

 

Yeah, all of those current guys are pretty basic. No harm in them having a bit of hype locally and making money, but it's sickening to see this being promoted as world class when they are barely above regional level.

 

In fairness, 1998-2006 was an elite 122-126 era.

 

I dont know about impressing, but he won more rounds

This wasn't a prime Lara yesterday, he was SEVERELY weight drained!

 

So upset over dis wyte we done gone back to talkin about the ugly Nicaraguan

 

Wood was winning 1st fight too and just got caught

 

Yeah but "getting caught" if you're world class shouldn't mean you turn into a wet rag.....it's not like Lara is Ruben Olivares.

 

My point is, in retrospect not surprising. And not necessarily because Lara was weight drained.
