London, England-. Mauricio Lara provided the surprise, celebrating his triumph in England against Englishman and favorite, Josh Warrington, who he knocked out and took the unbeaten knockout in the ninth round.
The 22-year-old Mexican boxer stood at Wembley Arena, taking the feat against the former International Boxing Federation featherweight champion, for which he was declared the winner in the final stretch.
The Mexican capital-born, who fought in shorts with the colors of the flag, delivered a series of punches on the ninth round to send the 30-year-old Brit to the canvas.
However, the ‘Bronco’ Lara had already issued a warning in the fourth round of the fight, sending Warrington to the ground, but the born Leeds managed to get up and continue in the fight.
Lara beat the European against all odds as the ‘Bronco’ was 15 to 1 behind in betting, but he gave the surprise in London, a case similar to what happened to Andy Ruiz when he beat Anthony Joshua.
The Mexican boxer now set his record of 22 wins and only two losses, after beating Josh Warrington. The Englishman was left with 30 wins and one lost, to Mauricio Lara’s fists.
