    Fight between Wood and Lara is this weekend. Who do you see winning this barnburner of a fight? Can you see Lara pitching another beating in the UK like he did to Josh Warrington or does Wood withstand Lara’s onslaught and surprise him with another comeback?

    Wood is decent but he's going to get brayed here.

    Lara got KO'd by a journeyman before to the body and was out on his feet a couple of fights ago against a journeyman again.

    He's getting overrated and I think Wood can definitely win this. I favour Lara but he's a guy who has been going life and death with journeymen at times.

    Wood can win. Like I said, he's decent and if he goes to the body and fights smart, he can pull it off. I just don't think he will. He's a brawler who trades. If he does that, he'll get outgunned.

    Wood is primarily a boxer. He had to brawl vs Conlan because Conlan is staying on the backfoot and outboxing him. In most of Woods fights he is fighting off the backfoot and boxing. He will be trying to utilise range and movement and holding Lara when they come in close. He will get caught by Lara though and then be forced into close quarter combat. But his primary gameplan should be to box and nullify Lara for the first half of the fight anyway.

    I think, if Serrano has learned anything, she'll stop Taylor.

    serrano has had more than twice as many fights as taylor. and looked noticeably declined her last fight. got hit waaay too much.

    as for this shit show on DAZN, their cards are waaaaay too euro imo

    It's in the UK and the headline act is Mauricio Lara and you think it's "too euro"....
