'A shot out of the blue.' Mauricio Lara lands a punch from the heavens to become the new WBA featherweight champion WoodLara
He said: “For seven rounds, Leigh Wood was dog walking Mauricio Lara around Nottingham.“And then Mauricio Lara has just landed the shot of a lifetime on his chin to knock him out.
“When I say knocked him out, the referee was prepared to throw Leigh Wood back into the fight, but Ben Davison threw in the towel because it was absolutely evident Leigh Wood was in no fit state to carry on. “A shot out of the blue, Leigh Wood was comfortable in the fight, and then that big, powerful left hook landed on his whiskers and Mauricio Lara is the new WBA featherweight champion.“A heartbreaking night for Leigh, an unbelievable fight, a brilliant way that he was playing through those rounds up until that point, but you’ve got to take your hat off to Lara because that is some finish.”
It is Wood’s first loss since being stopped by Jazza Dickens in 2020, and with the boxer having a rematch clause, it remains to be seen whether he invokes it. Lara’s former foe Warrington revealed at ringside that his rival spat towards him after his victory as he welcomed a trilogy bout after their rematch ended in a draw.“He wants to finish my career and I am happy to let him have the chance.”
