Anthony Crolla vs. Willie Limond & Kris Carslaw vs. Matthew Hall RBR

Amen, brother.

OK, this main event needs to get underway and it needs to end FAST - or else I'm missing out. :twisted:

 

Like twenty five minutes, tops. :!:

 

I reckoned Anthony's power is a bit sold short and not reflected in his record, and between his "three minutes of aggressive fury" style and Limond sporting some breakaway glass... :sad2

You are probably right.

It's looking like maybe two or three rounds for me.

Damn it, BN. Did we really need Simmons vs. Anthony? Couldn't have brought this along a bit faster? c

 

I suppose not prime AAA either, now that you mention it.

 

Round 1

Crolla shoots up his jab, straight and sharp. Limond backs out, letting his own jab unfurl long and meander a bit. Crolla jabs high and low, scoring. Limond has most of his jabs blocked, and tries for body shots. Crolla circles left and jabs out of his guard. Soft right uppercut by Limond, and a soft right to the body to follow up. Jab and uppercut by Crolla. Jab by Limond blocked, and he feints with an overhand right as Crolla hops away.

10-9 Crolla

 

Referee's decision, in Limond's home town, before Choi was a beloved fixture of UK boxing.

Veeeery suspicious. :think

 

Round 2

Straight rights by Crolla used like jabs to set up his left hooks to the body. Limond pushes his left jab out high, brushing Crolla's hair with it but not landing flush. Double jabs by Crolla, moving around Limond. NICE right hand by Crolla. Another. Limond getting his head snapped. WILD looping can-opener right by Crolla is ducked as he rushes right by Limond with his own momentum taking him nearly all the way to the ropes. Limond jabs lightly and keeps his arms pinned high and tight. Swatting left hook by Limond, falls short. Crolla puts up a jab as a diversion and lands a right to the body. Crolla blocks some jabs and leans in, and Limond pushes him off.

20-18 Crolla

 

Crolla has a dog named Winky, after Ronald Wright. :blood

 

They're talking up Limond for having gone six rounds with Erik Morales at high altitude in Mexico, saying it's not a bad thing to have on his record at all.

Yeah, well - Crolla is unlucky not to have met Morales at moderate altitude in Nevada, on a night where he'd have had a fair chance at the upset (given how poor Morales looked against the inferior Cano, although Crolla himself did struggle with a journeyman on the same card).
