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

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'

I agree they can say that and they're totally entitled too but this fight just stinked to me, I wonder how much Mr.Hearn paid Perez for this rematch?

Delighted for Crolla - Perez didn't look like he fancied it, really.

All the Brits will fight eachother now.

Hope Mitchell comes through his next fight.

to be fair i dont think perez really cares, he'll go back to columbia a very rich man and live like a king with his harem of big bootie columbian yatties.

Dirk did you even see the KO? it looked very suspect to say the least..

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?

So why didn't Hearn pay him to lose the first time?

Crolla is average which is why he deserves credit for winning a world title. He won the first fight too.

anyone reckon hearn will line up kevin mitchell for his first defence? maybe ricky burns

great generation of british lightweights

Well Derry Mathews is fighting on the Lee/Saunders undercard , A win by him he could be next

Great to hear. Finally the LW division is getting cleaned up.

Great to hear. Should be nothing standing in the way of Crolla/Flanagan. Finally the LW division is getting cleaned up.

One is with Hearn and the other is with Warren so there's that.

More likely we'll get Crolla-Mitchell and Flanagan-Matthews.

True I guess, Perez probably should have won that fight I just kind of think how odd is it that this guy who's not entirely known for his power all of a sudden KOing this guy who's never been stopped before even when he's fought bigger punchers that and the fact the body shot wasn't that of something full on flush like the guys in commentary are saying.

On the plus side I hope its Luke Campbell who gets a shot he will annihilate Crolla.

Make Crolla v Flanagan, a unification fight and Mitchell v Linares 2 and the winners fight each other. ****! We end up with a WBC/WBO/WBA champion for the first time in years.

Well done Crolla a sickening punch very similar to the one Hopkins knocked dela hoya out with and I too thought this one might run away from him.
