    Linares looking better every round. I think he's trying to lift Crolla's guard up to find a chance to dig with a big body shot...

    The fight has almost slipped away from Crolla points wise on any reasonable person's scorecard.

    This kind of performance is why I got carried away with Linares a few years ago.

    Crolla can't get himself into it. Needs to open up more although Linares looks faster and sharper than he did in the first fight . He's boxing a shut-out.

    Has Crolla over trained for this also?

    He looks very flat to me, Linares is excellent though.

    This was such a pointless rematch.

    Crolla getting shown into his place in front of his home crowd.

    6-0 Linares. The real fight at 135 is Linares-Garcia!!! That's going to be EPIC!

    When a guy's dominating like this you'd usually want him to press for a stoppage. But with Linares' chin and thin skin he should just keep on boxing and banking rounds. If a shot's there a knockout might happen anyway.

    Perhaps he's looking to come on strong down the stretch where historically Linares has struggled. A stupid tactic IMO if so as Jorge will prob be out of sight by then.

    Round 6

    Jorge putting on a masterclass, Crolla bringing the pressure and also getting more reckless, Jorge landed a horrific straight right and a horrific uppercut to easily win round.

    Linares 10-9
