Froch can't score fights. He listens to what's going on around him and manipulates his scorecard accordingly. Usually it's Adam Smith dictating his scorecard.sgtcecil wrote:Frock gave Crolla the last??? I thought that was one of Burns best rounds!

Had Crolla 115-113 where does Crolla go now though ??
The Flanagan fight won't happen because of Joe Gallagher.
Linares has been done.
Mikey Garcia is a gross mismatch.
Robert Easter ????? He won't come over here.

Was a tough battle and burns did much better than I expected , but still lost clearly in my opinion .Covfefe wrote:How was the fight? Still at the pictures, expecting to hit the crowds on the way to the station.
Others saw it closer , the ones with white sticks .

Only one fight to make now
Re: Anthony Crolla vs. Ricky Burns - October 7th 2017
Good honest fight very close with hard to score rounds (depended on what you like). Would happily watch again.Covfefe wrote:How was the fight? Still at the pictures, expecting to hit the crowds on the way to the station.
Re: Anthony Crolla vs. Ricky Burns - October 7th 2017
I had it 115-114 to Crolla, all rounds were close and so I don't have too many issues with the scoring.
Re: Anthony Crolla vs. Ricky Burns - October 7th 2017
F@cking love Anthony Crolla.
Great fight.

115-113 Crolla for me, I had Burns finishing strong to close the gap, his engine was incredible again, the ref let him away with a lot of low blows though, he hit Crolla low a good few times, Crolla's work always looked the sharper, he was quicker and busier throughout, both guys worked the body well but Burns cant fight on the inside so when he stood in the middle of the ring with Crolla it was Crolla who was getting the better shots off on the inside and forced the pace more, Burns had a late rally though and I thought he had an excellent last round
Good fight I enjoyed that

I don't disagree at all, but it would be nice to see TV analyse the judges cards a bit more - we never see them!

Town was hammered with fans. Fan of both guys so I'll definitely watch, though I fancied Burns to win this.

Had it 115-113 Burns but couldn't argue with Crolla by a similar score as there was some very close rounds, good fight either way, enjoyed watching it.
Crolla v Flanagan
Burns v Taylor

Close fight. As much as I wanted Burns to win I didn’t think he did enough. Crolla was just a little busier, especially in the first half of the fight. Interesting fight though. Burns has obviously slipped a lot the last few years whereas Crolla has hit his peak. Timing just right for Crolla at this stage in Burns' career. I think Burns would win a rematch though, he finished better than Crolla in the later rounds.

Fair play to mimoune. Good performance and really exposed eggington, although we have seen him exposed before. This one will be a hard one to come back from. They will probably go for the rematch but. Mimoune looked like he won that fairly easy
