Comments Thread For: Jorge Linares Decisions Anthony Crolla, Wins Lightweight Crown

Delighted that I called the fight spot on... But devastated for Crolla

Judges were very bias towards Crolla because the fight wasn't close, should have been by 5/6 at least

Linares proved what I already knew, that he is a class act

No need for a rematch it will be same result

Crolla didn't offer much and had no variety to his work, can't see how he can beat Linares

I think so too. The division is wide open for Mikey to get back on top if he wants it.

Totally agree.

UK fighters getting exposed last 3 weeks. Brook, smith, crolla.

Heh, Crolla yes, though he's never been a great stylist, more of a tough little pressure fighter.

Bit harsh on Brook and Smith, considering who they were up against. Who hasn't been 'exposed' by two of the top 10 P4Ps in the world? Brook outboxed GGG but lacked the natural size. Brook-Canelo would be a great fight @154.

Smith gave a decent account of himself and has a future as a good world-level gatekeeper fighter like his big brothers Paul and Stephen. The 'little' brother Callum is the class act of the family, though. Should see him knocking over everyone at 168 in the next couple of years.
