    Not feeling this ring walk thing by woods and his choice of music

    Wood heavy hands as well, so always a possibility



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59,687 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Wood looks a weight bigger



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59,687 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    This is tasty



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59,687 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Woods’ defence his big weakness

    Close soo far



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59,687 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Wood took couple dingers there…



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,790 ✭✭✭✭Inquitus


    All square?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59,687 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Both landing beautiful power shots. That power jab to body from Wood is stunning



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,790 ✭✭✭✭Inquitus


    Lara looks if he landed clean he could be devastating, but Wood seems to be landing cleaner and would be ahead on my scorecard.

    Lara looking little lost. Wood very clinical. His range is key

    Wood 4-2



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,790 ✭✭✭✭Inquitus


    Good idea to throw the towel I think, shame, 1 clean punch and done



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59,687 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    There ya go. I said 5-7



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59,687 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Wood looked very hurt there..



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,246 ✭✭✭✭OmegaGene


    I thiught Lara was getting tired and the couldn’t close the distance and then bang

    goodnight

    I had it 5-1 to Wood and Lara looked like he was on the way out. What a shot.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59,687 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Looked to me like Lara could have gotten in to do serious damage had Wood been allowed continue



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,790 ✭✭✭✭Inquitus


    I agree, even with only 12 secs left, sensible call. A shame, Lara looked like he was getting a bit gassed, if Wood had got through another round or two he probably had it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59,687 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Wood surprised me. He fought very well, but his defence is too shaky. Wood was always a B level champion.

    Rematch clause 🤷‍♂️

    Josh right. Wood should have put the foot on the gas more.

    I see Conor Benn has been cleared using the excuse that he ate a lot of eggs.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59,687 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Barry Jones is thinking Conlan could beat Lara.

    I actually thought of Conlan on this, and had I real confidence in his chin/stamina I might lean with him.

    I think he would have enough skills, feet, generalship, defence and guile to win.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,329 ✭✭✭✭Rjd2


    Lads I know its going to be a shambles, but **** it I will be watching Paul and Fury,,,,bookies have Paul slight fav which is fascinating as he has only beaten retired ufc fighters, but Tommy Paul has only beaten postmen!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,246 ✭✭✭✭OmegaGene


    Isn’t it the wbc that has cleared him because he makes them money and they want him ranked as a fighter so they get a higher % 🤷‍♂️

    I’m not sure if ukad and vada have cleared him, I haven’t caught up on it properly

    fella must have rated 40 eggs a day to gets levels of clomid and even then it’s a rare thing, it’s all bo77ocks but money talks and the truth doesn’t matter

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,343 ✭✭✭Bobby Baccala


    I don’t think Conlans power (or lack of) would be enough to keep Lara off him, technically he’s a superior boxer to both men but as you said there’s other factors like his chin and stamina that let him down, along with not being able to stay out of a war.

    I’d say if Mick tried to stand and bang with Lara the way he did for parts of the wood fight he’d be ko’d.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 59,687 ✭✭✭✭walshb


    Yes, his lack of power to discourage Lara would concern me, but if stamina and chin were solid then he may get away with power deficiency

    From a boxing spectacle I reckon it’s horrible to watch. Both are very basic, and likely they make for an awful viewing. I have zero interest in watching it.
