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

You're reaching, but not by much. I like Flanagan out of the bunch, Burns is better at 140, Crolla has one big win. Still a nice lineup.

Wouldnt say one big win, he stopped john murray in more impressive fashion than brandon rios

All Gallagher guys are basic, they come in shape (minus Paul Smith) and make the best of their limited tools. They're all quite average.

But joe gallaghers gym has two world champs and a belt holder

So yes, average lol

Someone is a bit jealous of british lightweights because Ricky Burns is a shot fighter.....

Pretty sure Scotland voted to remain part of the Union.

It is a travesty a guy like Mitchell getting a 4th shot, yet Burns hasn't got one since he lost his title.

My point was skill wise they're quite basic, but they manage to make the best out of the situation such as tonight or even the first fight where Crolla could've gotten the decision. His boys are limited, that's an observation, not an insult.

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

great generation of british lightweights

Mitchell is fighting for the WBA interim title on December 12, and the winner of Mitchell vs Barroso must face Crolla within 90 days. So yes, Hearn is lining up a Crolla-Mitchell bout.

If Crolla wins, I believe his second defence will be against Burns. But there is literally no chance of Burns-Mitchell 2 - they train together now and not to mention the first fight was so one sided and easy for Burns, 4 round demolition

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

Derry Mathews is challenging Terry Flanagan for the WBO title in early 2016
