Thread: Anthony Crolla vs. Jorge Linares, 12 rounds, for Crolla's WBA lightweight title

Feels nice to be able to watch the boxing and not have to pay £18 for the privilege.

Connor Benn on the undercard again, I'm thinking third round stoppage for him, he may leave it a little longer than he needs to tonight I reckon.

Crolla to win on point SD

good little stare down from Benn and the other dude there, you would think they actually have beef with each other and that Benn wasn't just going in with another punch bag

Does Benn look bigger than he did in his debut?

well the Saddos seem really geared up for tonights boxing don't they.

Benn is going into the 4th rd now, gotta admit I haven't realy watched a second of it so can't comment on how he is looking, seems pretty unremarkable though.

'people assume that Benn is pampered and has a massive entorage but he actually lives alone and cooks his own food and does his own laundry'

why the fook did they feel the need to tell us that he washes his own clothes? it's not exactly a massive acheivment is it

Purely cos hes the son of a legend.

Well, Hosea Burton did well enough, while Conor Benn looked decent enough in his bout too. Hard to judge when we're looking at them in their early fights. Now its Wilbeforce time!

Ben is getting better and better but he is not a huge hitter like his dad. He needs to work on his boxing skills and perfect them if he will achieve anything in the game.

Malignaggi is ace. Out of all commentators and analysts. He says what i see. Speaks a bit too fast though.

I thought Ryder had it in the bag. i am drunk though.

I thought Ryder nicked that, but tbf he's only got himself to blame, because I think he was looking to do just enough to nick it. He looked lacklustre in there and demotivated.
It's a shame, I feel Ryder has gone so far downhill. At one time, I rated as second only to BJS in Britain, and yes above the Jr. Clown. But that seems a long way away now.

Watching events, but on a little delay because I spent 15 minutes bopping around to new music while looking at myself in the mirror. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, in my view.

Place is buzzing over this one huh Main event coming up by the looks, didn't realize Crolla was the guy who stopped a robber and had his head smashed in, good story. Having only seen a bit of him I'm kind of expecting Linares to blast him out, but hopefully this is good.

I have always liked Linares but have to support Crolla. Anthony is on the best run of his life and is striking whilst the iron is hot.

Ha, I did exactly the same thing earlier on today...only I wasn't bopping around to music, I was kind of looking at myself in the mirror and sobbing silently
