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

This one could be another FOTY candidate.... Both guys always come to fight and keep themselves fit and ready... Who you guys like?

Yeah I'm looking forward to it, should be a good scrap, I'm backing Crolla for it.

Both guys are grinders and I think this one goes the distance and really is a "pick'em" fight....

Crolla is much improved a few years back I never rated the guy.
I was thinking he was about domestic level goes to show you can get it wrong.!
He's a nice guy and he can fight a bit I hope he wins should be a good fight.

I think Crolla is on fire at the moment and can pull this big one off.

This is going to be a barn burner of a fight.

Liners the older man slightly on the slide and million dollar Crolla who five fights ago was not good enough to carry his jock strap funny how things turn around, taking Crolla to have more juice left in the tank to roll over Linares late in a violent thriller.

Wanted to go to this fight so badly. Working commitments have got in the way which is a shame, I won't even be able to watch it on tele. Think it's going to be a great fight though. Similar to the Mitchell one but Crolla will come out on top with a late stoppage. It will be a very competitive fight though. Crolla will need another special performance to win because Linares is quality

lets see the one who train hard will get it

Im going with Linares by decision here.

I am considering going

I didn't realise this bill was this weekend. Some interesting fights and amazingly not PPV for a change!
Really tough test , but I hope Crolla does it. One of the most genuine blokes in Boxing.

Crolla is the favourite... not sure about that. As was mentioned above it would've been laughable that he would even be in the same ring a few years ago. Even though Linares has everything against him he has the class and the power.

Crolla expects "brawl and slugfest".... Weigh-in video included... http://www.skysports.com/watch/video...nares-weigh-in

Having been on holiday in Spain for both the GGG fight and the Saul Alvarez fight, at least there is some boxing to enjoy on my first weekend back. I'd like Crolla to win, but if I'm honest I actually think Linares will be too good for him. Also, on the undercard, my all time favourite fighter with the first name Wilbeforce fights for the commonwealth title, no better boxers called Wilbeforce than the wonderful Wilbeforce Shihepo.

Linares UD is 16/1 with Betfred
