Leigh Wood is once again WBA featherweight champion, clearly and rather easily defeating a ragged Mauricio Lara today in Manchester. Wood took the belt back on scores of 116-111, 118-109, and 118-109, and the latter two were more the general consensus than the 116-111 card. Lara (26-3-1, 19 KO) missed weight this week, with the

Chris Billam-Smith has hit Lawrence Okolie countless times while wearing 18-ounce gloves during the hundreds of rounds they’ve sparred against one another. Billam-Smith seems confident that his power will surprise Okolie, however, when they fight with smaller gloves and without headgear Saturday night at Vitality Stadium in Billam-Smith’s hometown of Bournemouth, England.

THE last time Michael Conlan attempted to become a featherweight belt-holder he did so in an opponent’s backyard with the odds against him. It was, despite this, still a fight he very much expected to win, and indeed a fight he was winning, but in the end there could be no question that Leigh Wood’s
THERE will be just 98 days and 83 miles between Mauricio Lara’s crushing knockout of Leigh Wood and the Nottingham man’s risky yet admirable crack at redemption this weekend. It was February 18 when the Mexican ‘Bronco’ left-hooked a hole in Wood’s until-then watertight gameplan of boxing, moving and winning on the cards. The Nottingham
FOR all the chat and debate about ‘new media’, and there’s been plenty in recent weeks, it’s impossible deny how effective it can be when executed correctly.
