Crolla Vs Linares - 24th September

Crolla wins this for me.

Mitchell took him 10 rounds and was winning on points before the TKO

 

Linares needs to put up a better performance this time around, or this could be an easy nights work for Crolla

 

Gotta love Crolla. Lad has gonads the size of watermelons!!!

 

Linares is very skillful but he is vulnerable. I have a feeling Crolla is going to go high guard, soak up shots work the body and try to set a tempo Linares can't deal with further into the rounds.

I can't see him out boxing him but I do think he can win purely by toughness if Linares wilts later on.

 

There is one thing for sure. Linares is not gonna do a Barroso and be out on his feet after a few rounds.

Crolla will have to dig deep in this one

 

Given up writing off Crolla, he proves me wrg every time....

But surely this is bridge too far

Linares is an established world level boxer without being a hype job or having a padded record

 

Nice little unification fight for crolla, but I tell you what he loves fighting Kevin Mitchell aponents. Makes you think though what you can achieve if you put your mind to it, I remember him loosing to derry mathews a few years back and then going out in prize fighter. Then his career almost over after getting hit over head with a brick. Now he's 1 fight away from being the unified lightweight champion of the world. Good luck to him.

Hope he wins and then takes the flannagan fight

 

Linares isn't the fighter he was a couple of years ago and that showed against Kevin Mitchell, still a great fight but I personally think that they are catching him at the right time. Even so it will still be a great win if he manages to get it.

 

Happy with this fight and the fact it's on normal sky. As has been mentioned he's a good champ but people forget a past it Mitchell was beating him before the horrible eye injury. Good luck to Crolla can't help but respect the things he's doing now having had a few set backs early on.
****** and Hearn need to sort it out and get their boxers facing each other or we're missing out on Crola v Flanagan and I want to see Smith v Brook if he moves up aswell.

 

Great fight, I think Crolla can take his now. Linares is very beatable but manages to grind wins out. Not sure he can do that here

 

Great fight.Thinking about coming down fromy Scotland for this but if hearn plans on serving up another dog **** undercard like the last 2 crolla cards then I probably won't bother

 

Huge, Big up Eddie Hearn, the man.

 

Another example of why Crolla doesn't need Flanaghan.

 

Any idea on the rest of the card?

This would definitely be worth attending.

 

Linares is 11/10 with my bookmaker :think
