Leigh Wood vs Josh Warrington Round Betting Tips
Leigh Wood comes into this fight as a the slight 4/9 betting favourite with the best online gambling sites. It is clear to see why this is the case, given the fact he is the reigning world champion and has put in more devastating and emphatic performances of late.
Here at SportsLens we can see Nottingham’s Leigh weathering an early Warrington storm and overcoming adversity before securing a 17th career knockout. Betting on a particular method of victory will certainly gives punters added value when selecting their boxing bets.
The reason we are siding with ‘Leigh-Thal’ to win this fight fight stoppage in Rounds 7-12 is because he is a notoriously strong finisher, whilst Warrington is notoriously a fast started. Despite Wood’s last victory going the distance, his three wins prior to that were all via knockout late on.
The 35-year-old won the British Title in February 2021 by defeating Reece Mould by KO/TKO in Round 9, before then becoming world champion in his next fight – knocking Can Xu out in the 12th and final round. Wood of course then made a successful first defence against Michael Conlan next. Again, he won via knockout in the very last round.
It is evident that Leigh Wood carries power late in the fight and arguably gets stronger as the bout progresses. Josh Warrington is far easier to hit than the likes of Michael Conlan and Mauricio Lara, so we can see the reigning world champion successfully defending his belt with a knockout in the second half of the fight.

Wood vs Warrington Individual Round Betting Tip
Given the fact our round betting tips for the Wood vs Warrington all-British world title bout is for Wood to win by knockout in Rounds 7-12, selecting an individual round in which the fight will end presents boxing bettors with even better value than just fight outright or method of victory.
A lot of people will fancy the fight to end via knockout, whether that be in favour of ‘The Leeds Warrior’ or ‘Leigh-Thal’. So, if you do think the Wood vs Warrington fight is destined to end via KO/TKO, the best value could be in backing Leigh Wood to win via stoppage in an individual round late on.
As previously mentioned, the 1988-born Nottingham boxing superstar is a notoriously strong finisher. He has KO’s late on against Reece Mould, Mick Conlan and Can Xu of course. Given the fact that Wood is deemed a far bigger puncher than Warrington and the fact he carries his power late, we feel that this could result in another devastating KO for the Ben Davison trained fighter.
If Wood is to win the fight via knockout, it is likely going to be in the later rounds. Picking an individual round for the fight to end is tricky, but there is sensational value in selecting one specific round. For us here at SportsLens, we see that being Round 10 for the Leigh Wood knockout.
