Leigh Wood vs Mauricio Lara scorecards released from thrilling world title fight

Leigh Wood was ahead on all three judges' scorecards before he was knocked out by Mauricio Lara in their world title fight.

Lara, 28, produced a stunning stoppage against Wood in Nottingham to win the Brit's featherweight title after falling behind in the fight. Both men exchanged left hooks in the seventh round but Lara's landed with more conviction and Wood was sent crashing to the canvas. Despite getting back to his feet and beating the count, the fight was waved off when Wood's trainer Ben Davison threw in the towel.

The scorecards for the fight have now been released as judges Howard Foster and Guillermo Perez Pineda both had Wood up by four rounds to two at the time of the stoppage. Judge Oliver Brien had Lara winning just one round before he landed the knockout blow, given the Mexican the second and all other rounds to Wood.
