The resilient featherweight, Josh Warrington, succumbed to a brutal T/KO loss in his previous outing against Mauricio Lara. Although the Brit started off the fight well, he failed to sustain his elite run in subsequent rounds.

“It was a shame,” he said.
“Everything went wrong. Fights like that are very difficult to come back from. They’re talking about a rematch – he don’t need a rematch with him right now. Absolutely not.”
Warren asserted that ‘The Leeds Warrior’ did have an underwhelming performance that night, and he deserved the loss. He felt that the 30-year-old didn’t stick to his game plan, which made it easy for the powerful Mexican.
Despite ending up on the losing vertical, Warrington tried landing massive hook shots on Lara. But the latter showcased a granite chin and ate some big shots coming off the Brit’s hands. Finally, he broke into Warrington’s defense and staggered him with his crushing power.
On Warrington demanding a rematch with Lara, Warren believes there’s absolutely no reason for it. Instead, he thinks that ‘The Leeds Warrior’ should focus on hundred percent recovery.
Is a rematch worthy for Josh Warrington?
Josh Warrington ranks among the most renowned featherweights of the world. Prior to this fight, Warrington had one of the most decorated careers in the 126-pound landscape. Although he’s scored a loss in this fight, ‘The Leeds Warrior’ would have also gained some crucial insight.
But a rematch at this stage of his career might not go as planned. He developed ring rust over several months, which was visible in his performance.

In order to beat a powerful Mauricio Lara, Warrington will have to take on other lower-ranked contenders in the division.
