Lara suffers bad cut, Warrington rematch a technical draw

Mauricio Lara TD2 Josh Warrington  IBF featherweight champion Josh Warrington admitted he was 'absolutely gutted' after his rematch with Mauricio Lara ended in a technical draw .The Mexican Lara, who had upset Warrington in their last fight, suffered a cut to the eyelid early in the fight and the fight doctor refused to let him out for the third round, and the fight was called off. That left Warrington frustated, unable to put right the defeat on his record after giving up his IBF featherweight title, and having failed to put on much of a show for the crowd. Speaking to the BBC after the fight. Warrington said: "I’m confused, I don’t know what to say. Honestly, I could have burst into tears. I thought I’d caught him in the first round, a little nick there, and I thought I could keep on targeting that. Then I dived in and heads clashed, and I don’t know what happened. I’m gutted, absolutely gutted."
