    I thought that dude might prove to be tougher than expected as he pushed Teofimo's (aka Luke Campbell's son) best win hard in his sole loss, only losing by a point, 2 points and 4 points on the judge's cards and obviously Crolla was coming off a brutal KO loss to Loma the Soul Harvester where Loma hit him so hard in the side of his mind with a right hook it broke his hand.

    Awful cards. Awful.

    I love Crolla, I followed his career from the very early days with him being a Manchester lad.

    But no way did he win this fight.

    He won it with 7-3/6-4 relative ease. What the hell are you talking about?

    Had it 6-4 Crolla. There’s no way the judges were going to see him losing.

    Completly neutral, 97-93 for me to Urquiaga.

    Seems like consensus has Urquiaga edging it - I had it 95-95 personally; think given the early rounds 98-92 is mental

    Robbery tbh and it is refreshing to see most people online including a lot of Brits sharing the same thoughts.

    Good riddance to Crolla tbh, don't give a flying **** if he's some nice guy apparently, he was gash to watch and really over achieved.

    The two better scorers had it for Crolla. The other two had it a draw. the ones that had it for Urquiaga are just haters and contrarians, and I say that as someone who isn't some huge Crolla fan.

    I don't get it. I thought Crolla landed the cleaner sharper work throughout. Much of what Urquiaga was throwing was rolled with or blocked. Yeah he was active, but far from accurate.

    I thought this was always going to be more competitive fight then some of the 1 sided matched that have been included in the tipping comp and it looks like it proved to be so with a close win for Crolla.
    Let's hope he sticks to his retirement as he clearly doesn't have it anymore and could potentially take a ton of unneeded damage with how he fights, he's made some decent coin that should set him up nicely after a good career

    Mate I'm surprised you haven't been headhunted for sky sports tbh.

    Why? Which rounds did Urquiaga win other than the ones I gave to him? Post our scorecards. That goes for the rest of the people claiming robbery.

    There was absolutely nothing easy about this fight for Crolla. He was arguably 5 down after the first 5.

    We've noticed over the last few months your cards have gone a bit, odd.

    There's a very slight argument for Crolla edging it if he gets every close round, but to give it 98-92 is absolute nonsense.

    The wrong man won tonight.
