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

[deathofaclown]

Crolla v Mitchell PPV? don't be daft. Joshua is on PPV because Hearn and Sky are pushing him as their future star.

Crolla is getting nowhere near headlining a PPV.

Anyway, Crolla did well, i never expected he would ever wear a world title belt but then again lesser fighters have probably managed it. He did a good job tonight. Anyone who thinks Perez threw that is wrong, that was a perfectly placed body shot. He isn't a big puncher but if you get those in the right place, they hurt regardless.

Look at Perez going down after it the guy clearly isn't that much of a good actor, I know what its like to be winded with one of those and you'd certainly not be pulling a casual little face that he did then shaking your head BEFORE you decide to go down seems thought out to me.

Everyone reacts differently to different things.

Just because you would be rolling round and crying like a toddler doesn't mean he would be.

cmon man, i like crolla he seems like a nice bloke and really deserving of this but seriously you can't say that the KO didnt look suspect.

it clearly did..

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.

Perez hasn't really fought anyone outside of Gamboa so it's not like him not being stopped before was a big deal.

He also got stopped by a well placed body shot, not a head shot.

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?

No chance Crolla-Mitchell is PPV. Joshua was going to be a huge name straight out of the Olympics, no one knows who Crolla is and Mitchell is sort of known as an almost man.

Would've made far more sense to throw the first if it were a fix. Crolla is an average fighter, but evidently so is Perez.

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

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

I got carried away, but it's nice to see the possibility of an undisputed champion. Hopefully when Hearns and Warren have made their respective match-ups, they'll be more willing to unify. There's also Linares and Barthelemy/Shafikov.

If you want to ignore the bad acting from Perez that's your decision I'm saying you wouldn't have the chance to all of a sudden look up then shake your head then go down, he didn't bother to try and even get up that is further proof in the pudding a fighter not wanting to try and get up?
Okay then.

Shut up you worm.

It was a good body shot. Plenty of fights have ended exactly the same way, with similar reactions from a well placed body shot by a guy who isn't a big puncher. It happens. Watch more boxing.
