Comments Thread For: Crolla Knocks Out Perez In Five, Wins Lightweight Title

[JakeNDaBox]

It took four months longer than expected, but Anthony Crolla finally landed a storybook ending to a miraculous ring return.

The local favorite needed just a single left hook to the body to wrest the lightweight crown from Darleys Perez in their anticipated rematch Saturday evening in Manchester, England. [Click Here To Read More]

good on crolla, seems nice a nice enough chap, didnt think he would be boxing again after getting his skull cracked open.

i did think perez would get up from that though...

Wow...didn't expect that! I was sure Perez had taken the first fight lightly and would win here.

Never expected Crolla to get a knockout. Fair play to him. I have no idea how he's ended up winning a world title but pleased for him. He deserved it after that dodgy decision in the first fight.

That surely will be the pinnacle of his career.

If a fix ever came to mind this was the one.

Looked dodgy the way Perez went down, didn't even try to get up at all and the shot wasn't even that of something that had huge pop in it take that into consideration with the fact Crolla is 30% KO ratio...

All I'm saying to finish this is you pay for the rematch to be in this guys hometown and the Mitchell fight with Crolla is a huge fight that could be PPV so yeah I think it is what it is.

Solid win for Crolla. Was there for the first fight. Still think Flanagan wrecks him

Look's like Diamante Verdejo will have to go into Manchester and get his first belt from Anthony Crolla

What an idiot. Why wouldn't Perez jack it in the first fight if it was a fix?

Mitchell vs Crolla is not a huge PPV fight

i didn't wanna say this but i think you're right, even when crolla went back to his corner when he went down his face had a look like ' wtf ?'

it didnt even look like a power punch and he made no attempt to get up

cue everyone saying 'anyone can KO anyone with a bodyshot doe'

For how much Hearn paid him I wouldn't be surprised, Crolla is an average guy its a joke that he is a world champion tbh.

Joshua Vs Whyte is a PPV, you think he wont make Mitchell Vs this guy a PPV?
