    Linares is a slight underdog

    Does that sound right?

    Is this that close of a fight?

    Linares probably schools him with ease, had Barroso boxed intelligently and not like wild eyed madman, he'd have beaten Crolla, although Crolla has got better, but he's still not good enough to beat Limares.

    Once Linares gets cracked with a good shot it's gonna be over.

    I can't see past Linares in this fight but Crolla keeps surprising me and seems like a nice enough bloke so I'll be cheering him on.

    Linares might be more skilled than crolla well he is but crolla just smashed barosso to bits after soaking up all his best punches. Linares hasn't done anything lately, crolla has all the confidence he's on high.

    Have to say I never gave Crolla much of a chance last time but he boxed beautiful and real intelligent too,always on the counter with fast hands,honestly I'll never doubt him again and for me in the list of UK champions he his the impressive one for my money which is nice cause of his story and the fact that he's not hyped like some.

    I'm really surprised Crolla has been made favourite.

    Yes Crolla has had a good couple of wins but Linares is a quality fighter, far better technically than Perez and Barosso.

    maybe the bookies know something I don't :think
