If linaries can't stop crolla I can't see burns stopping him , who was last person Ricky stopped Mitchell? And remember Ricky not made lightweight in a few years ,
I still fancy Ricky but on points 116-112

Crolla is a great body puncher, its been about 10 years since Johansson had Burns down a couple of times with body shots but I have seen Ricky back off in fights when touched downstairs and he's even admitted being hurt by body shots post fight, I imagine it will be the main tactic from Crolla, obviously after the compulsory do zilch for first 3 rounds Joe G gameplan

Crolla took an absolute pasting in that second fight. I was there and scored it 120-107.
The first fight was close.
Na, not at 1 point did anyone think during the fight Crolla was going to win.

As for this I've bet on a draw, can see a lot of close rounds and the judges wont be able to split them.

Not close it was a clear win, if you class that as a close fight then 85% of fights every week are close and need rematches.

Horse thinks a British fighter somehow performed twice as good as he actually performed? I'm shocked!

Or start a thread on 'best fights that can be made in boxing' and see if Horse could get any worse, I reckon he'd get close with something like Martin Murray-Abraham 2 or Paul Smith-Martin Murray. I just made myself sick :KO:

I can see it being a draw or an split decision causing a rematch. Nothing much else for either guy that can realistically made.

I'd rather see Crolla v Flanagan and Taylor v Burns.
