    I regard John Keane as the best UK judge. He has done a good job as a neutral in big fights in Vegas but his disgusting 6rds Linares 5 Crolla 1 even just goes to show he is a cheat. The guy has proved he knows how to judge a fight and having 1pt in that fight is just plain cheating. Linares won 9 rds and only one judge scored it correctly. I don't know who they got to judge this fight but it's liable to be closer and needs competent judges who can shut out the bias home crowd. I've got a feeling Linares could get railroaded in this one if they put in judges of the ilk of Keane and the other guy who had it 7-5.

    I actually think Crolla gets stopped this time around, I would love to see him win and will be supporting him but I can't see him reversing the result.

    I think the only way Ant can win is go full Ricky Hatton and just smother him and wrestling and try and bang him up and just make it rough and ugly and deny Linares space.
    Going in with the high guard behind the jab just lets Linares step off and he's lightning when he lets his hands go.. Stoppage for Linares for me but i hope Ant wins.

    The Matchroom judges will save Crolla this time so Linares needs to wipe him out to make sure.

    Got a feeling Eddie knows something we don't, he is also predicting knockout.

    Whats with Linares 3 KO losses, potential chin issues?
