On the morning of Sunday, March 13, Beijing time, the current WBA featherweight ordinary boxing champion British Lee Wood (25-2, 15KO) will once again take the stage to meet Ireland's undefeated rookie Michael Conlan (16-0, 8KO), which is also the most important match in the boxing world this week. Although Leigh Wood is playing at home again, this time the bookmaker is more bullish on Michael Conland.
The 33-year-old Lee Wood currently has a professional record of 25 wins and 2 losses, 15 ko opponents, and now ranks 7th in the BOXREC-126 pounds overall. With a height of 1.70 m and an arm span of 1.70 m, Leigh Wood won the WBA featherweight ordinary boxing champion by TKO TKO (18-3, 3 KO) at home in the United Kingdom on August 1 last year. In the first 11 legs, Leigh Wood also led 107-102, 106-103, 107-102. After the game, Lee Wood was so confident that he even said he was going to come to China for World War II, but now the WBA arbitration he had to play against the statutory challenger Michael Conlan.
Lee Wood lost 2 to compatriots Gavin McDonell and James Dickens, both of whom were former World Champion challengers. It can be said that Leigh Wood was not famous in front of TKO Xu Can, and few people know how long he can keep this WBA-126 pounds of ordinary boxing champion gold belt.
The 30-year-old Michael Conland has a 16-game career record, 8 KO opponents, and is now 19th overall at boxrec-126 pounds. Conlan is 1.73 meters tall and has an arm span of 1.75 meters, and this time to play in Leigh-Wood's hometown of Nottingham, it is difficult to win without a beautiful battle. But now the bookmaker is bullish on Michael Conland at 1-2 odds, indicating that he is strong. Now the WBA requires the winners of the duo to play their next match against WBA Featherweights Super Boxer/Four-Tier World Champion Santa Cruz (38-2-1, 19KO).
