Leigh Wood vs Josh Warrington 2: Teddy Atlas makes his pick for super featherweight clash
Wood (28-4, 17 KOs) and Warrington (32-4-1, 8 KOs) have suffered damaging defeats during their career, and this feels like the last chance saloon for both.
The first time these two met in 2023, Warrington was in front on all three scorecards (58-56, 59-55, 59-55) before he was caught by Wood near the end of the seventh round, draining the energy from him. A left-right combination followed, sending Warrington crashing to the canvas. The referee took a long look at Warrington before waving the fight off, awarding Wood a stunning win.
Delivering his pick for the fight via his Ropes Community, Atlas said:
“I believe Warrington showed he can make corrections and can this time at least go the route so now the next question can he win and win in the backyard of Wood in potentially the hometown boy’s last fight. I believe again yes, he can beat Wood after Wood took a lot of punishment in his last fight.”
