    The winner will face the winner of Zlaticanin vs Garcia which is pretty great

    I'll cheer Crolla again but Linares will be too good again IMHO. Think the winner of Zlaticanin/Garcia will beat him though.

    Good fights anyway :)

    I'm happy enough with this fight, I enjoyed the first one.

    However I wonder what Crolla can do differently this time around. Linares is too good a boxer and unless Crolla has found a way raise his game there is a good chance that Linares wins even more convincingly this time around.

    I have a feeling that we will finally see Linares at his very best.

    What's the point? Crolla lost fairly decisively. It's a wasted fight for both men, but I guess they'll both get paid well for it.

    @CST80 Yeah, it's not like Linares struggled and the fans are clamoring for a rematch. But since there was a rematch clause, it's worth another watch as the first fight was a pretty good scrap.

    If I were Crolla I wouldn't be too hepped up about it, he's damn lucky he didn't get KTFO the first time, he came damn close a few times, Linares will be even sharper and more confident in the rematch and in all likelihood stops him this time around.

    That's a huge possibility. Crolla should have went after that Goof Flanagan. That's a very winnable fight for him.

    They both should have, he's very beatable, he looks average to poor against every real LW he faces and then he feasts on tiny FW's like Magdaleno and Cruz to get some easy stoppages to get people interested again.

    I think Linares might him drop this time. Crolla is a one trick pony, walk you down with the high guard and throw to the body just like Liam smith.

    If the ref is more neutral this time I wouldn't be surprised if Linares stops him.

    Why has Crolla consistently ducked him then ? Flanagan boxes his head off all day long
