Not the top of most people's list this fight if it actually happens but i was really impressed with Barroso against Kevin Mitchell. I can't see Crolla beating this guy, I personally don't rate Crolla highly.
Agree I think barroso will win this one. Punches like mule down at that weight, southpaw stance aswell.
Cos he knocked out a washed up Kevin Mitchell with the punch resistance of a hamster ? Corolla is tough and in his prime, this is a completely different prospect and Barroso is a known quantity now, before the Mitchell even the pundits knew very little of him
Was a still good performance and showed good power. Still fancy Barroso to beat Crolla. Maybe we'll have an answer one day
Looks likely this will happen.Hopefully crolla comes through and fights the winner of flanagan v Matthews
Good post :good Nice to see someone talk sense, and not get carried away by the Mitchell fight. Are people forgetting what non puncher Burns did to Mitchell ?
Barosso did look good last time out but I still think there are some weak points in his game though, he's not the fastest, seemed a bit slow with his feet and a little crude, I do think if Crolla was to box and move all night he would have a decent chance in this fight, as far as a prediction goes, I'm really not sure.
Would lean towards Crolla on this one. Think he's a bit tougher than Mitchell these days and has more in the tank
In yesterday's IFL interview, Eddie Hearn said he is looking at making 2 World title fights on the big April 9th Joshua card. With no Manchester dates planned (apart from obviously Frampton v Quigg) does this mean Crolla vs Barroso (or maybe another opponent) is being lined up for April?
I keep thing crolla as gone a bridge to far and he keeps proving otherwise From a decent career to a very good one with plenty of time to make it even better
i won a fair bit of money on Barroso KO Mitchel £30 on the single 5/1 and i had a an accumulator as well including it which returned 600 quid :happy:happy i think Crolla can out box Barroso but if he gets tagged its goodnight vienna
