Anthony Crolla vs. Jorge Linares & John Ryder vs. Jack Arnfield RBR.

crolla handling the disappointment like a man.

 

On the evidence of this performance, Crolla would school Flanagan.

 

Hoping that Crolla doesn't get to discouraged ,he is a good fighter and was able to cut the distance well against Linares when he was against the ropes

 

Served.

 

Who wants Crolla-Linares 2?

 

Don't take that chap too seriously, Drenlou: he does have a glass brain, after all.

 

Feel so sorry for Crolla. After what he came back from and a genuinely nice lad.

 

Those ****en scorecards were ridiculously close except for the 117-111 card which was my score. It seems only in the UK do you get these type of fights that the close rounds are scored 10-10... I think even rounds suck.

 

That's a good one!!

 

cant say i would get excited about seeing it again, not as their next fight.

 

Narrative switcharoo, you have been exposed.

 

He just alluded to this in the Radio Five Live interview, saying "I've come back from worse, and I'll come back again."

And I'm sure he will.

 

Giving someone the nod in a round just because you feel you have to is why we end up with such garbage scorecards all the time. More 10-10 rounds in boxing would be a good thing.

10-10 rounds aren't really why that fight was so close though, it was just bad judging.

 

At least the result was correct, I wouldn't complain too much about the cards. Most UK sites had Linares winning. There's a bit of home bias, but the result was fair and that's what counts.
