    Not sure about Flanagan. But Zlaticanin would KO Linares. Calling it now

    I agree Linares does look vunerable at times but he never looked in any trouble tonight even showing those vulnerabilities.

    Against Mitchell he got off the floor to force a stoppage, like you say Linares is very good offensively and I think is quite exciting to watch with his explosive bursts.

    Tonight I think after Linares seriously hurt Crolla it was done, Crolla didn't look the same after that, he seemed to never fully recover.

    I'd like to see Linares move up and fight Burns, have a go at becoming a 4 weight world champion.

    i think he would beat burns aswell UD. i dont know why people dont rate flanagan, who is good boxing off the back foot, throws loads of punches, and can pressure when he wants too. i think he would UD Crolla aswell.

    Burns is pretty good doe. That would be a tougher challenge than Flanagan at 135 no doubt.

    They almost robbed linares.. what the **** was up with the 115-114 and 115-113 cards? Terrible, just terrible. Imagine if Crolla would have gotten credit for a slip, it would have been a majority draw..:shakehead:

    My score too, the closest that fight could have been was 116-112 the scorecards were asinine, but at least it was a UD, I was fully expecting a SD, or a Majority Draw.

    It should have been wider on the scorecards... 1 round in it was a joke!

    Linares was unbelievable on the game, Crolla never even hurt him

    People need to give Linares more credit, Crolla is a top class fighter and he made him look average

    His Stamina was great, Speed was unstoppable, timing outstanding, brutal shot selection... Just fully outperformed Crolla

    Not sure why their has to be a re-match seems a silly idea because will be the same result...

    I'm still a Crolla fan and will be cheering for him but as with this one, I don't think he stands a chance.

    Tactically Crolla and team got it wrong, maybe they can change the tactics to a more unpredictable gameplan, jumping in on Linares with combo's, fighting "fire with fire" they might have better luck
