    That was a good fight and the right result. Would rather see a rematch over corolla vs Flanagan.

    Crolla beats Flanagan comfortably.

    Linares a class above. That's the best performance by a foreign fighter in UK for many a year.

    What a talent Linares is, he looked in great shape on the scales and then proved he was in fantastic shape tonight.

    Linares just did the better quality work throughout, I had him winning comfortably, I thought Terry O'Connor was his awful best.

    Terry Flanagan and a few others at ringside had Crolla winning during that, I never had Crolla in ahead.


    And I'm £120 better off, thank you Jorge.

    Zlatacinin-Linares would still be a heck of a fight.

    I reckon Mikey is the only person who can beat Linares at 135.

    I think Linares would edge out Zlaticanin with his superior skill and punch variety, but that would be some fight too.

    If I was a member of Team Linares I would insist if there is a rematch we select the referee and also have a huge say in the judges.

    115-114 is a disgusting card in my opinion.

    Linares clearly won, but I am not overly impressed with him. I saw wasted motion from him and his defense is flawed. A pressure fighter like Crolla but with more power could take him out.

    I think Flanagan was judging the fight on hoping that he doesn't miss out on unified domestic title match vs crolla.

    but his defence isnt the best and his stamina is questionable.

    He's offensively one of the best fighters there is, but not a complete fighter! I do like Linares though. even though he battered my boy mitchell

    Crolla is now a considerable draw in the UK thanks to Sky. Hearn should make the Flanagan fight. He's got a better chance of winning that than winning a rematch with Linares. WBC should enforce Zlaticanin-Linares.
