Comments Thread For: Source Says Crolla Will Face Linares Instead of Barroso

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Ismael Barroso (19-0-2, 18 KOs) recently announced himself on the world stage with a devastating fifth round knockout of Kevin Mitchell at London’s O2 Arena. With the victory, the Venezuelan captured the WBA interim title at lightweight making him the potential challenger for current world champion Anthony Crolla in his next fight. Logically the bout could happen at some point next year although a member of Barroso’s team believes another direction is more likely for Crolla.

Would Barasso even be his mando? Matthews talked about how him being the interim meant nothing about being the mando.

Either way, if Crolla does have a mando with him, Linares got one with Darjan

I can't hate on this, Linares is a better name, less riskier and has a proper belt.


Also might as well vacate the WBA version all together if he wins.

I put WBA Interim on par with WBC Silver.

I mean, Eubank Jr is the mando even though he gave up his title and Derry Matthews said he gave up the interim WBA because being interim didn't even make him mando.

Just a money grab, but yea... I don't think Barasso is even his mando

Good unification fight and hoping the winner is Crolla, we could have him fight Flanagan, unifying the division.
