Leigh Wood v Mauricio Lara 18/2/23

[Primo Carnera]

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
