Crolla Vs Linares, Surely He Can't Do It A 3rd Time?

Next big fight coming up, gone abit under the raadar because of the two big fights recently.
It's a good mesh of styles Crolla being the more rugged, hardworking boxer that pressures and wears opponents down whereas linares is a pure boxer technically brilliant but has been shown to break down in fights when things don't go to plans.

If this had been after the Mitchell fight I would have said linares all day but with a one year lay off and Crolla having beaten two solid guys it's a 50-50. I think Crollas only chance is to try and stop linares late by keeping the pressure on him every minute of each round as he will lose if he tries to box with him.

Linares needs to look at how Canelo just dealt with Liam smith by going to the body and breaking him down. Most of Gallagher's fighters fight the same so it's not tricky to work them out if Linares is 75% of his old he can make this an easy night.

If Crolla wins I make him the best light weight really proud of this guys attitude and ability to comeback from adversity and upset the odds, You can never count someone like this guy out his just a top professional.

 

Linares a mega talent but fragile, hopefully Crolla can get to him

 

I want to pick Linares but Crolla has surprised me more than once. It should be a real good fight though as opposed to those two mismatches we've had to endure. I think it's either Linares on points or a late Crolla stoppage

 

Linares to win but Crolla to have his moments. Looking forward to it.

 

I actually think linares could stop him too just because Crolla has no back foot game his all pressure like smith only thing is have no way of knowing how linares after the injury and lay off

 

I think the bookies have this wrong it's a possible 50/50 in my opinion but they have it 70/30 for Crolla, I'll be taking linares to win with a Crolla tko hedge like paddy Garcia said up there

 

Linares is past his best. He didn't look as sharp against Mitchell who couldn't miss with the left hook.
I fancy Crolla for this. Maybe even a stoppage

 

That's usually the case in close fights with Brits in them.
But in this case I'm going with "half a dolla' Crolla" by knockout.

 

I just don't rate Crolla as a boxer whereas I did rate Mitchell of course Crolla can wear him down but he's power isn't great I guess I'll need see how linares looks in training

 

I would`ve wanted to see a great all manchester world title fight between Terry Flanagan and Crolla but Crolla has snubbed him for the glamour fight with Linares.Even though Flannagans recent fight with old man Fon or whoever he was wasn't exactly brilliant, he is unbeaten,kod no2 magdelano in 2 rds in his first defence. I think then the winner should have. fought Linares.Crolla should have a chance to beat Linares but I think Linares will get behind his guard and ko Crolla.

 

Too close to call. Linares is as sharp as a tack

 

You think so? I think offensively his a very good boxer good combination but his defence is poor in my opinion

 

Ye I meant offensively, he's chinny and hittable. But he's a lot more savvy than barroso and smarter

 

Yeah your right he is and I think more experienced I think Barroso was too in love with his power and didn't have the experience to just sit down and box when Crolla wasn't going away but credit to Crolla coz he forced to work.

My biggest worry is this guys inactivity 11 months off and gunna fight a guy who's confidence is sky high is very worrying.

 

Yeh crolla KO won't suprise me at all.
