It won't happen but the right thing to do it Mathews 3 - next.

[Taansend]

Bloody brilliant. This is one for us old school who know that a few losses ain't the end of the world.....

You LEARN from a good loss. Good matchmaking builds a fighter.

Very very chuffed.

Mathews is fighting Flanagan next isn't he?

[Finn]

That shot didn't look that hard.

too much emphasis on bein unbeaten.

[Neil Gee]

Crolla v Burns. That's an easy defense!

[Fearful_Freddie]

Delighted for the lad. What a performance.

Ha - no like before Mitchell. There is unfinished business there and Matthews was (until recently) the interim champion and was unlucky that he never fought for the title proper.

[Black Sam Bellamy]

Well done Crolla but Perez is/was a very poor World Champion. No head movement and no jab.

[broomy7s]

Brilliant performance that. Crolla will do well against anyone without too much power for me, work rate is outstanding.

[Counter-puncher]

What happened then, crolla stoppage win obviously, description please?

[Counter-puncher]

Stylewise I think crolla-Flanagan would be a brilliant match, by the way

[crusader]

What happened then, crolla stoppage win obviously, description please?

Body shot when Perez was against the ropes. Counted out.

It's the equivalent of being with the same bird you lost your virginity to & thinking you're the worlds greatest lover

[taffytoon]

What happened then, crolla stoppage win obviously, description please?

Tap up top and a stunning body shot = count out.

[Neil Gee]

Brilliant performance that. Crolla will do well against anyone without too much power for me, work rate is outstanding.

Yeh you are so right. C caught him a couple of times in 2/3 but he never went wild, the game plan & work rate came first always, and that's why he won in the end. He waited til the time was right before he took his chance. Amazing, lovely result. Good for ya Ant!

[Old Jack J]

Does Crolla make the top 5 lightweights in Britain?

[Counter-puncher]

The thing with crolla is in some ways he fights that same gallagher-stereotype John Murray at his worst, come forward high guard, type style, but previous to Gallagher he had a more 'boxer'-type movement; what he does so much better than Murray is make little adjustments with his feet when he's probing to attack, and his handspeed and the crispness of his punches is much better than Murrays was, so he presents much more diverse offensive problems to his opponent, he's an excellent pressure-boxer basically.

[Counter-puncher]

By the way I think Gallagher deserves real credit for that

[Neil Gee]

By the way I think Gallagher deserves real credit for that

No doubt they make a great team.

[Boxerbeetle]

Special mention for Adam Smith's cringeworthy commentary - no analysis, no incisiveness, barely even touched on the action, just a non-stop wankathon over Crolla's nice guy personality. Shocking, embarrassing, amateurish stuff.

[Jack B]

9 Britons holding major titles after this weekend. Not a bad effort that.

[Andrew]

Surprised this didn't carry on for the Vegas card anyone watch ?

[palooka]

Oh my God. Wow! Oh Wow!
