That is a bit weird surely he'd be aware of the time in the round..

I’m not sure it’s panic, although I totally hear the argument for not throwing the towel.
But what we forget is , in a split second, Davison is also thinking is a minute on the stool gonna be long enough for him to recover?
We have to take into account that from the moment he’s thrown the towel in to Wood’s gallant protestations to Davison talking to him in the corner, Davison was still holding him up and probably 20 seconds had passed.
Ok, you can say, “yeah but see how he responds in that minute and if he’s not all there, then throw the towel in.” Fair point, but Davison’s job is to look after his fighter. He should never be criticised for that by the fans.

Agreed, he is looking after the welfare of the boxer and "better safe than sorry".

Wood was unnecessary trading and leaving himself vulnerable many times in the contest and was visibly hurt numerous times which should have warned him. He had the fight won and got careless.

If Lara can earn more money for the rematch than any other fight then there is nothing wrong with the clause.

MAURICIO LARA had to be separated from Josh Warrington by security moments after his brutal knockout of Leigh Wood.

The Mexican mauler ripped the WBA featherweight title from Wood with a brutal left hook in the seventh round of their Nottingham dust-up.

Former foe Warrington was ringside for Lara's coronation on enemy soil - which almost ended with a post-fight punch-up.

The pair came face-to-face after Lara left the ring but were held back by the heavies at the Motorpoint Arena.

But a fired-up Lara managed to SPIT at Leeds lion Warrington before they went their separate ways.

Warrington told said: "As soon as the fight’s been waved off, he looks over to me. He sees me.

"I actually thought he was looking over at times in between the fight.

"I got off my stool, his head goes forward, he spat on me.

"You know, I can have a little bit of pantomime – shouting and screaming – but somebody spitting on me?

"I’m not having it. It’s got to the stage now that he wants to finish my career – and I’m more than happy to let him have that opportunity.”

Lara admitted to gobbing on Warrington, telling iFL TV when asked about the incident: "Of course I did.

“Because it’s personal between me and him. That’s the way it will always be.

"Of course, I do [want to fight him again]. I’m after you [Warrington]. I’m coming for you.”

Lara and Warrington's clash has paved the way for a mouthwatering trilogy fight, which could potentially take place later this year.

But the rematch clause Wood had placed in his contract to face the Mexican could delay a third showdown.

After his heartbreaking defeat, Wood said: "I am a fighter I wanted to keep going but congratulations to Mauricio Lara.

"I made a mistake and I paid for it. I want the rematch, absolutely."

Just watched a video on YouTube from Carl Froch saying he’s spoken to Leigh Wood this morning and Wood admitted that he was gone.
Froch , to be fair to him ate a bit of humble pie and applauded Ben Davison for a good stoppage.
This is the thing , Trainers know their fighters and we have to understand that.

[Big J]

Wood got careless, he needed to keep it long
Lara is a vulnerable title holder whose power keeps him dangerous at all times
You can go back & forth on the ending but Davison did what he's paid to do as head trainer, protect his fighter
Wood probably would have survived the round but if he got seriously hurt in the next round, Davison would be getting blamed for not looking out for Wood
Wood can fight another day

You do realise that Davison was ready to throw the towel in when Fury went down in the 12th in the 1st Wilder fight ?



As you can see Security and Freddie Roach stopped him from doing that.

Now imagine if Davison would have been allowed to do that ? We'd av a different boxing timeline.

Now everyone says that was a great piece of referring and Fury rose like Undertaker ...blah blah

Davidson get's scared at a nosebleed

But bk to the Wood - Lara fight. 10 seconds left in the round when Wood got up BUT Lara was right on top of Wood when he got up. So the ref would have to push Lara back to the neutral corner that would have took 3 seconds off the 10, then Lara would have had walk bk to Wood when the ref said box from the neutral corner, that's another 3 second of the 10, so wood probably had 3 or 4 seconds to hold on.

Davidson is joke

I mean who is Ben Davidson ? I mean he's like what ? 27 or 28 years old. Never boxed. Never worked his way up but all of sudden BANG out of nowhere at a very young age. He's getting to train all these top fighters. Really ? I know guys who been 20 30 years in the game and ain't got that. And I'm not saying I know every trainer in UK boxing but I 've boxed and I know the trainers that matter

From what I know he was some sort of Life Coach / Counsellor to Tyson Fury. Helping him with his depression. So he goes from being an Uncle Phil to managing fighters ?

So the fact that Leigh Wood said himself that Davidson made the right call doesn’t count for much then? Ok you know best.

Action speaks louder than words. And at the end of fight, looking Wood actions that wasn't of guy who was saying "You made the right call"
