Prediction: Leigh Wood by Stoppage
Result: Leigh Wood by Stoppage
Wow! This fight ended the way I expected it to but I was definitely not expecting what came before the stoppage. Wood was getting outboxed by Warrington who was landing at will and boxing out of his skin. Out of nowhere Wood landed a Hail Mary punch to end the contest and save my prediction. That’s now 3 come from behind stoppages for Wood in 2 years and even though he isn’t the best featherweight on the world, he has some great wins and has come on fantastically since losing to Dickens at word level.
