I wonder that with so many fighters in his stable is he able to give each one the amount of attention they need.
How long would a top class fighter need one on one with his trainer each day ?

Liam Smith flew over late to the States and Crolla was left to train alone. His 2 fighters lost their "world" titles but at least Gallagher got plenty of exposure.

i dont like the way he comes across in interviews but you can't really knock his training. Quigg lost against a great fighter in Frampton in a fight that was billed as 50/50. Liam smith got beat as most people predicted and Crolla got beat by a better fighter in Linares. if anything he seems to get the best out of his fighters

Crolla often learns a lesson from one fight to the next. Experience helps him a lot. He has perseverance and endurance and I wouldn't be surprised to see him win the rematch.
This forum has become a bit of a miserable place for sad little people with an axe to grind.
I dare say it was the experience of previous fights that helped Linares here. There was no blistering start from the visitor as he had against DeMarco, it was more of a controlled performance from him than I remember seeing. Wasn't as fan as he was earlier in his career but he showed a more intelligent approach than he ever had and had energy to burn late on
Definitely, Linares put it all together in this performance, from all his earlier, hard experiences. Seemed sturdier and better st pacing a fight.
Nothing wrong with Crolla giving an elite fighter a good fight.
And, sets up a big rematch.
