Round-by-Round: Anthony Crolla's Farewell | Taylor vs. Linardatou - 2 November 2019

[Twinkle Toes]

Taylor will lose next year. I reckon that Persoon fight has taken something out of her. This fight was a lot closer than Alex Arthur was portraying it to be.

[Ruthless-RKO]

She had a very good reaction here in Manchester.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Her eye looks baaaadd..

[MasterG]

Good show from Taylor. Wasnt a bad fight to watch really.

was saying the same thing . i dont think she has much left , great boxer but she been at the top of her game so long, has to take it out of you, i can see she aint the same fighter

[Ruthless-RKO]

Hearn has been pushing her down BrItish boxing fans throats since she debuted.

Plenty of cheers for Katie at the end.

"When are we just gunna call it boxing and not womens boxing"

Well try fighting 3 minute rounds for a fornicating start

[haben]

Taylor is a talented athlete but ducking Persoon is not doing her legacy any favours. She clearly is worth too much to Matchroom to take a chance until Persoon gets a bit long in the tooth, maybe.

Its time for Women's World Title fights to step up to 3-minute rounds and Sheilds vs Hammer, Persoon vs Taylor and Taylor vs Linardatou are perfect examples. Until then they are good athletes boxing long-distance Amateur fights.

As a lad from Manchester, we need someone who can no carry the Manchester arena on the coming years..

[Ruthless-RKO]

Manchester just doesn’t get many fight cards.. big fight cards.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Have they even opened the top tier?

If not still must be more than 10k in there..

[Neil Gee]

This feels like a footballer's testimonial this farewell fight for AC, except Ant will be fit as a flea with a plan that he sticks to minutely as usual, I trust him absolutely on that. He won't be coming for an easy last payday.

Yeh. I remember the first time I heard of Crolla when he was on the way up thru one of those free papers that come through the letterbox every week and the time has flown by it feels like the other day for fecks sake

He’s been good for our great city..

Million Dollar Bill one last time right there.

He’s never even headlined the arena..

Did he headline against Seferi?

[Neil Gee]

Think Ant edged first. Openers often diff to score.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Hope he just knocks him out.

think he did, or Flanagan v hooker ?

[Neil Gee]

I've got AC 3 up but must acknowledge there's a lot of what you like kind of scoring margin here. Hard to see how effective all those wide body punches are against Crolla from the camera angle.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Hope he doesn’t lose this on points. Urquiaga is looking to tire.
