Darleys Perez vs. Anthony Crolla 2 - November 21st 2015

who wins and how?

[ThereByTheGrace]

Points for crolla he will get the nod this time Perez isn't that great

[expe]

Perez on points. I don't think Crolla is capable of fighting better than he did in July, but Perez wasn't quite at his best that night.

[davie]

Agree with expe. Crolla put everything into a career best performance.

Actually think Darley could step it up and stop him

[Stuarty]

Perez will no doubt be better this time round but Crolla will too. I reckon Crolla has his number. Points win.

Agree with both of you. The only thing stopping Perez is the ref and the judges.

[handsofstone]

I think Crolla gets it this time,i think its gonna be a rerun of the 1st fight,both guys only fight one way,Crolla was successful last time and it will be more of the same,i actually had 1st fight a draw(even after 10 then last two 9-9) but most seem to have thought Anthony won,either way i dont think it was that much of a robbery that the WBA ordered a rematch,but im glad there is,Crolla's seems a gent and id like to see him get it this time

If anyone does fight harder then i think Perez might try to go for the KO letting Crolla pick up the points while Darleys is looking for that 1 punch

I expect a much better Perez to win UD.

[simonwalsh]

Crolla points or late stoppage. In fact I'm going for the latter. Basing that on very little by the way other than gut instinct and blind hope. Just really want him to win it.

[littlepug]

Think it will be similar to Brodie v chi, crolla did his best first time round but get the feeling Perez will be better this time round

[sweetscience]

is this for a legit real title

[simonwalsh]

is this for a legit real title

It's for Perez's WBA World Lightweight belt.

[PredatorHayds]

Will be closer than the first fight which I thought Crolla won handily.

I can see Crolla getting the decision this time.

Similar theme to Lewis-Holyfield.

It's for Perez's WBA World Lightweight belt.

Is it full belt though or one like quigg has

i dont think the WBA have a Super champ at Lightweight so i would class that as the proper title

[sweetscience]

Brilliant ....good luck crolla

[handsofstone]

Did anyone have Perez winning the 1st fight?

I mentioned above i had it a draw too,even after 10 then scored the last two 9-9 with the deductions to Darleys

From what i gather its only me and the 2 judges who had it even

I didn't score it round by round but a draw seemed fair to me, didn't see what the issue with the decision was, could have gone either way. Perez was unlucky to have the second point taken off too.

[PredatorHayds]

I thought Crolla edged it but further enhanced with the point deductions I think I had him by at least 4

[keirw]

Thought that Crolla nicked the first but it was close and far from a robbery, also the second point deduction for Perez was very harsh.

Can see Perez upping his game and winning clear this time around but I'd like to be wrong as Crolla seems like a good lad

[Neil Gee]

I think it's a case of if it's a close decision then AC will get the nod because of the concensus that he was robbed first time and because that's the whole reason he's got the rematch sanctioned by the WBA and why this whole thing is taking place. I'm going for Crolla by decision.

[revporl]

If it plays out the same as last time then AC by decision, as I think there was a consensus that the judges got it wrong. If, as a lot of posters on here seem to think (and I've not seen DP fight apart from the first Crolla one), that DP has another couple of gears that he didn't/couldn't use in the first fight, then maybe not. I do think we saw the very best Crolla in the first fight.

Good luck to Anthony though, he's a proper gent, he's been through a lot, he was robbed last time (even though he's too much of a sportsman to say that outright) and it would be lovely to see him win the world title.

Genuinely pleased to say my boxing knowledge isn't worth shit.

Mind you, I did predict a Murray win....
