Leigh Wood W12 Mauricio Lara ... In Manchester, England, Leigh Wood regained the WBA featherweight championship, taking advantage of an immediate remath clause to earn a unanimous decision over Mauricio Lara of Mexico. Wood scored a knockdown of Lara in the second round abd went on to win by scores of 118-109 (twice) and 116-111. Wood (27-3) hopes to set up a British super fight vs. Josh Warrington later in the year. Lara, who upset woods via seventh-round stoppage in February, falls to 26-3-1.
