Round-By-Round - Jorge Linares (c) vs. Anthony Crolla 2 - March 25th 2017

[sammy95]

Not quite on par with her performance on the Haye-Bellew card, but this is once again a joy to watch

[Trudge]

Anybody else think that tart with Linares is a good looking lass?

Dunno wasn't looking at her face...

ha effing none of us were!

great pair!

He has finished his training on the heavy bags and doing a pre-fight warm-up on the fun bags!

[brilo33]

[crusader]

Ya, she looks good beating up these poor opponents.

She is good but fighting journeywomen so far?

did the Macus Morrison fight prior to this not show Mr. Smith that building a record on bums doesn't really mean anything till you step up?

Yep

She's obviously a good fighter, and anyone who saw her in the ams should know that. I can't really get into the 'wow, she's so special, this is a treat' mood against these types of opponents though.

Milena Koleva is a former world title challenger lets not forget, hard to judge what the levels are in womens boxing are, as I have never followed it before. But, the Morrison point is a good one - though I suspect it wont be the same case with Taylor and her ridiculous talent and pedigree.

[ThereByTheGrace]

Taylor will never main event a show unless its a "really" stacked card.

[Horse]

Ya, she looks good beating up these poor opponents.

She's only just turned pro.

Who is she meant to be fighting?

[Boxing Prospect]

Fair enough women's boxing isn't the deepest (especially at 126+) but there are interesting match ups that could be made...
...still shocked we didn't see Taylor do a Hyun Mi Choi...

[rossij8]

Its not the fighters, its the hype

shes got pedigree no doubt but the over exaggeration against this opposition just isn't necessary...

[Trudge]

That girl with Linares was really stacked.

[sgtcecil]

There's a lack of coverage of this card on Facebook which is disappointing...

Agreed. She could breast feed a creche that one

[littlepug]

Taylor won by ko ?

It seems like her team means for her to face clubfighters and journeywomen. I understand that these types of opponents are standard for new pros (barrings Lomachenko anomalies), but I find it hard to get very excited over prospects bashing them up like this.

Her amateur experience is probably worth more than the overall experience most women pros have.

Yes. Because no male fighters have ever been hyped early.

I enjoy watching her box, and I am thoroughly looking forward to seeing her live at Wembley (though I am up in the Gods). I'm not saying she is the second coming etc yet, but I am enjoying her professional career thus far.

They have, and people often complain about them being overly hyped.
