In round seven, Wood boxed smart, on the front foot. He had an extra point in his pocket, for Warrington hitting behind the head. And he decided to go for the kill at the tail end of the round.

A right hook clipped the Leeds man, and Wood felt it. Left hook-right hook-left hook, and so forth, Warrington hit the deck.

He wouldn’t and couldn’t beat a count.
