[Boxing, UK] 13.2/ 20:00 L.Wood- R.Mould
Leigh Wood needs to capture the British title on Saturday night if he wants any chance at breaking onto the world level. At thirty-two, Wood has spent much of his on the domestic level, despite his skill. A tall, rangey fighter, Wood’s best work comes from the left hook off his jab. Able to use his reach to tag opponents with the jab, Wood then wheels on an angle to land his hook and turn his opponent’s around with ease. By changing angles, Wood stops opponent’s bull-rushing into range and forces them to continually set their feet – at which point, Wood has already started to land once again. Against Jazza Dickens, Wood’s lack of power reared its ugly head. Unable to gain any respect from Dickens, Wood was forced into an ugly dog fight against the ropes and tied up in clinches.
Warrington’s sparring partner, Reece Mould, is a heavy underdog coming into this affair. Despite his undefeated record, Mould has failed to a scalp of quality, even with an English featherweight title to his name. Securing a fourth-round knockout over Sean Davis, the then 14-2 fighter has since raced to a 14-14 record. Worse still, watching the fight, Davis was unable to eat some rather tame shots. As such, it is difficult to gauge just how good Mould is.
