Why don't you just watch a fight or two on YouTube?

Hate the quality. Image is too "flat." You can't always see how they're using the ring. On YouTube only the big punches look impressive.

We need a boxing app.

Anyway I think Flanagan would beat him.

he learned from his losses just like the old school boxers used to do

I also think his physique and stamina have massively improved. Not to accuse someone but it doesn't seem an unreasonable to assume he's getting some extra help.

Yeah I can see what you mean exactly! To go with struggling against domestic fighters to koing world fighters makes me wonder a lot

Crolla has won quite a few "Battle of Manchester" fights. Morris, Farrell, Murray all being outstanding battles. Brodie and Foster don't count for me because they weren't near their best (not Crolla's fault, he did his job). Crolla v Flanagan does seem irresistible given it's a world title unification that could consolidate the winner in Manchester, big time.

But there's certainly nothing wrong with a Jorge Linares fight if that's what they're focusing on.
