Why isn't this beast getting a shot?

Featherweight destroyer Mauricio Lara, 23, has never been a World champion. Fucked up Josh Warrington. 126lbs champions won't fight him. Crazy how Warrington goes on to claim to be a World champion. Boxing is a Joke. All scared of Bronco!

Well Warrington did rematch Lara but but it ended prematurely due to a head clash. No doubt, however, Lara's been done wrong by the business side. He's not marketable - even in Mexico - and was unlucky that the Warrington win didn't net him an alphabet belt (Warrington had relinquished his title prior to that match). Based on merit, i.e. who beat whom, the top two featherweight for me are Lara and Rey Vargas, who beat Magsayo who had in turn beaten Russell. But neither has the combination of both at least a marginal fanbase and promoter backing. So the plum fights go to Navarrete, Wood and Warrington. The more time passes since the Warrington KO, the further it fades from memory. Think Srisaket. What did two wins over Chocolatito get him? Squat. All Lara can do is keep winning and force Hearn's hand.

I gotta check this guys out now.  (thx.)

I know the name but that's about all.

He was scheduled to face Leigh Wood, until Wood had to pull out due to injury. Lara then took a fight in Mexico. I assume those 2 will fight in 2023.

I got a feeling that Eddie Hearn will match Leigh Wood vs Josh Warrington, as it will sell in the UK. Also, make newly crowned Lopez vs Lara. All under the DAZN umbrella.

Warrington's illegal use of the head is getting to be a big concern for me. He was at it again last Saturday.

He's been doing it for years. He nutted his way to victory against Lee Selby and didn't get a warning.

I just hope his luck will prove better than that of Oscar Leon...
