Lara absolutely slapped Warrington around. Didn't fear his power, his footwork was great and his hands are heavy as hell for a feather.
Just watched the finish and read skys report.

Laras punches described as "crude" "rugged" and "clubbing" all within a couple of paragraphs.

Safe to say Sky are seething [emoji23]

I thought Lara was painfully slow which makes his leathering of Warrington even more painful, wasn't particularly impressed with him. If I'm Warrington, I'd sack it off now. overachieved in his career and fair play to him.

Looking forward to the boxing this weekend, Kelly Avanesyan should be good, bit of genuine bad blood between the two camps. Kelly does look like a quality operator but he’s never been in the ring with a proper live opponent.
 

See he got taken the distance by Winston Campos in his last fight, a guy Josh Taylor had beaten within 3 rounds almost 3 years ago. Could be another off the Matchroom hypejob conveyor belt, along with Lewis Ritson and a long list before him.

First two rounds of Marku - Charlton have been good, think it’s going to end up being a really good fight, although looks like a Marku is going to have too much for him. Shouting “Nutheeng, nutheeng, nutheeng” when Charlton has him backed up is great crack.

Really good fight. Marku has a lot of potential, especially as he’s still relatively new to boxing as a discipline, so he could go reasonably far, but really needs to reduce the showboating as he moves up. Charlton was game as f**k, but fairly limited, and the only reason he dropped Marku was because of Marku fucking about and switching off.

Fair play to Charlton, boy is obviously hard and fit as f**k. Great stoppage from his corner though, had shipped some big hooks in the last 30 seconds or so (and some big shots throughout the fight), had lost his legs and it was only going one way.

Or soon [emoji23]

Knew the pressure was having an effect, but didn’t think he’d broken him down to that extreme by the end of the 5th. Really put it on him in the 6th though and was landing clean as and when he wanted.

Hopefully Kelly is ok. Sure he’ll learn a lot from this, but he’s a ways away from world level at the moment as expected.

Brilliant fight. Kelly all the skills but doesn't have the engine to box on the back foot for 12 rounds.

Ava was relentless. Game plan spot on from Greaves. Never gave Kelly a second to breathe even when Kelly was having success he was constantly having to work when he didn't want to.

Kelly started well but Ava had a game plan to get past the fast start, up the pressure and grow into the fight. It worked about as well as he could have expected. A few rounds too early for my bet but a good win. Looks like Kelly may need to go up in weight, either that or he just has no engine to have a successful career in boxing.

Having heard Davies jr interview before the fight I thought there was a good chance he would lose. Wasn't remotely surprised by that at all.

Marku looked decent enough, probably caught with too many shots but reasonable performance. Actually thought his knockdown was at least partially due to a tangle of legs and he was a bit unfortunate. If Kelly stays at welter you wonder if there is a fight to be made there, albeit probably a bit of a risk for Kelly.
