Completely agree, I fancy Jack Arnfield to do a number on Brian Rose, Arnfield flying and has momentum. Understand about the April 8th worry! It's a really good card, think there's a few TBA's that just haven't been given to Boxrec, never know why promoters leave it late. Think Mason Cartwright is in with Justin Menzie, who he had a technical draw with recently.
Don't mind Ward vs. Hughes fight but agree, it's nothing special and I'm unsure on Morrison vs. Welborn, I saw Morrison against Simone Lucas a couple of years and he really struggled, Welborn's experienced and could turn him over.
I hope Arnfield does Rose as well. I've never taken to Rose. He thinks he's way better than he is.
I didn't like the hissy fit after the Carson Jones loss...
Same mate. He fought a guy from my old gym for the British years ago and in the build up he was going on as if he was a world champion in waiting and a cut above and struggled like fukk with him for twelve rounds and just scraped past.

Kris Carslaw fight ? That was bloody from what I remember.
He had every right to be annoyed after the first Carson Jones fight that was a classic IJL stoppage.

Arnfield has come on leaps and bounds with the Jennings brothers, I was at his last fight against Mick Hall and it was a near faultless display. It will be interesting to see where the winner goes on from this. European champions is Blandamura who BJS made easy work of, it's a fight definitely worth pursuing.

Aye mate. Kris got cut early in that one. Put up a good fight though. I thought it was very close that fight. Rose just about deserved it but he struggled.

All or nothing for Crolla.
Another great fight.
Needs to work that body more, not eat big counters and set up the kill shot to the head. Venezuelans, including McDonnell challenger Solis - have good defence for the left hook, don't take many - and so Crolla must find a way to land that shot.

Really looking forward to watching this. Massive Crolla fan and think he deserves massive credit for what he's achieved. But... What a fighter Linares is. Absolutely love watching him get down to business. I think the same outcome as the last fight is most likely if not a Linares KO in the late rounds.
As much as i enjoy watching Linares, I'd really like to see Crolla do it. As others have said I think its all or nothing for him as there is no way he outboxes Linares. He needs to fight smart and pick his moments.

Linares by stoppage, but I hope that I am wrong.

I actually thought corolla was fighting well and on his way to breaking linares down until linares exploded with that right hand. If you watch the fight up to that point it's fairly even and corolla is looking solid.
I think I'll throw a small bet on crolla stoppage

Crolla is more clever in the ring since the last bout according to Crolla.

Just rewatched the weigh in from the first fight. Both look like they're a bit more filled out- is it just my eyes?
Also, I much prefer watching two classy fighters respect each other and shake hands rather than talking all the sh*t poured into their ears by Fast Eddie, anyone else?

I am a Crolla fan, but all anyone wants is a fair result. The UK is becoming a joke for away fighters, and it is getting to the stage that no-one with a pulse would ever travel here for a 50-50 fight.
Crolla can win this. Let us hope if he does, he deserves it.
The last fight was a fair result & there's no need for this rematch. I don't see how Crolla can win this fight, Linares was a worthy winner last time out, what can Crolla do differently?
Hearn will just keep getting Crolla title shots until he wins one again, wba who interim whatever it takes, same as Ricky Burns, ad infinum ...
I suppose we will have to put up with the god-awful Adam Smith on commentary?
What's your take on this cracking contest so far CARL ?! Yeah adam, for me, Anthony is doing enough to nick these rounds...THANKS CARL !!! what an IMENSE effort from the INCREDIBLY BRAVE Crolla this is !!! on this MASSIVE night for BRITISH boxing !!! Etc etc etc

Smith is absolutely turgid. Rotten. I will celebrate so hard when he finally leaves Sky boxing. He'll probably be in the job for the next 20 years, the tosser.
