Comments Thread For: Jorge Linares Drops, Dominates Anthony Crolla To Repeat

Unless Linares has slipped, he should be comfortable here.

I got Linares doing better than in the first fight. Obviously they could always rip him off doe.

That's what I mean. Prior to the DeMarco fight he was one of the hottest rising stars. After he suffered those losses, he's found his way back to the top of his division. Y

I think his experience has made up for the decline in his physical abilities. We could've easily written him off long ago.

Great post .

Is this fight taking place later than usual? I feel like most UK fight main events are already over by this time

I feel this way as well. Usually I look for a UK fight at 5 or 5:30p and realize it's half way through or over by TKO. It's 6:40PM EST and it's now just in entrances. Definitely starting later than I remember.

Lol, some slim shady.

Have some money on the Linares stoppage but would be glad to be wrong, tbh.

Crolla needs to do a better job of smothering Linares and not letting him get off those combinations. Also don't get caught standing in front of him as much. Use that side step to get away from that return fire.

Easy work for Linares. Crolla looks club-level at times

WAR Linares!

His way back up to the top is really just good matchmaking. I've seen his fights post-DeMarco, no one to really write home about. Arawaka, Mitchell, Crolla and throw in a paper title in there vs Prieto and he's back on top.
