2nd round clash of heads leads to Technical Draw for Lara and Warrington

Josh Warrington didn’t want to wait or go for a tune-up after his shocking upset loss to Mauricio Lara back in February. He wanted to run it back immediately, and 20,000 screaming fans in Leeds wanted to see him settle the score.

Unfortunately, a clash of heads in the second round brought a very early end to the action. Lara (23-2-1, 16 KO) walked away with a gruesome cut over his eye, the doctor called it off before the start of the third, and everyone went home early with a frustrating but appropriate Technical Draw.

After the fight, Warrington (30-1-1, 7 KO) repeated that he still wants to get “the slate clean”. The fight was promoted under the slogan “Repeat or Revenge”, but it looks like we’re going to get a Rewind and a third showdown between these two.
