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

[wesshaw1985]

I want to see Linares vs. Flanagan next back at the M.E.N.
Crolla vs. Mickey Bey or Dejan Zlaticanin for a trip to Vegas for his fans...

[Tangerine]

did that goon just apologise for Rober Diaz saying "big balls"? jesus wept fornicate off

[skanksta]

Surely Linares wants to come back to UK for Flanagan - more belts - decent money and save the Garcia risk for later ?

[Neil Gee]

Crolla is a tough guy, but despite talk of 'all the marbles' I don't think he's ever been up there with the LW elite.

No, maybe not, but all the more amazing how he made the best of his opportunities against the odds.

[wesshaw1985]

apologies to anybody offended. Pathetic...

[milpool]

did that goon just apologise for Rober Diaz saying "big balls"? jesus wept eff off

Yes, he did. Embarrassing...

[lefty]

Retirement beckons, it'll be hard to go back down a level now.

Make the fight with Campbell or Flanagan. He doesnt need to retire.

Who is that goon ?

I think he's been a great commentator apologising for "balls" @ midnight on a boxing programme aside.

[Boxing Prospect]

Flanagan Vs Linares? Well...Falanagan will have to reclaim his title after Petrov takes it from him >_>

[brilo33]

top lad crolla , got better with age,wasnt disgraced today

[Counter-puncher]

Looks like a Asda shop tomorrow, not Tesco or Morrisons

[Neil Gee]

He's not retiring then...

[lefty]

Linares has great hand speed and incredible talk speed

Imagine you were trying to learn spanish listening to Linares

[handsofstone]

118-109 Linares for me too, just a lot more conclusive win for him, again his sharpness and handspeed was too much for someone like Crolla, that left uppercut to deck Crolla was pure class and he did as he pleased for the most part and looked like he was having fun with him at times, Crolla's an absolute warrior though and although Linares is all wrong for him i'd still give him a great chance against Flanagan

"hes a sen-ceptional fighter" Bellew is a moron...

No its a big payday! In the millions !

[SAPFO]

Jonny Nelsons chocolate earpeace. I'd love to have heard that convo. "Reckon this browns a good match?"

[skanksta]

Flanagan Vs Linares? Well...Falanagan will have to reclaim his title after Petrov takes it from him >_>

You fancy Petrov ?
Flanagan may well have gone stale a la Nathan Cleverly.
He's gotta fight Crolla for me either way - they went to the same school ffs

[Counter-puncher]

top lad crolla , got better with age,wasnt disgraced today

He's gone a lot further than i thought, I thought even going back to the loss to that kid from Yorkshire, Sykes, that Crolla would end up beyond British level but would top out at European. He's got moderate talent- he isn't untalented- but I think he has outstanding will and not a little brains. Just not enough overall talent to look like a 'boxer' against the better world level fighters, and not enough power or physicality to be a 'brawler, crucially

Naturally Crolla classy as fvck in the interview


Also, as I have said before, nicest classiest man in British boxing

Flanagans the champ and Crollas coming off 2 losses, how do you think those negotiations will go?

For sure, but it could be the last one. Why not take a decent payday first and build it. The guy must feel @ home in Manchester by now, might even have the crowd on his side if the $M fans are bitter !

[Crease]

"hes a sen-ceptional fighter" Bellew is a moron...

Agreed. He's really not as articulate as he thinks he is.

He's got ATG will, heart and boxing brain - but British title physicality.

[Counter-puncher]
