Crolla to fight Linares in WBA/WBC Unification fight 24 SEP 2016

[Beanz]

"I'm so excited to have the chance to unify the lightweight division," Crolla said. "Jorge is a fantastic fighter and it's another mountain to climb, but these are the tests that I thrive on and I've beaten two great fighters in [Darleys] Perez and Barroso and I'm confident that I can beat Jorge too.
"I'm having to pinch myself after everything that's happened. I'm fighting the number one fighter in the division for the WBC, WBA and Ring titles; it doesn't get any better than this. I'm very proud and privileged to be able to bring this fight to Manchester."

This is a terrific fight, and I'm excited for it.

Still, it is hard for me get around the fact that Linares avoided a fight with Dejan. He was his mandatory, Linares got "hurt," and then signed to fight someone different. A bit odd, wouldn't you say?

This will be a cracking fight and I think Corolla will win this fight.

Outstanding fight and like Linares on his hands but the real winner is the WeBeCollecting . So we have Dejan who was just crowned champion. Linares is "champion in recess" and winner must face Dejan. This line is the literal definition of insignificant trinkets "...will be putting on the line a wbc Diamond belt, an honorary championship bestowed by the wbc that is not subject to defense...they are marketing it as a unification"

I like this fight, should be a good interesting scrap.

I'm backing Crolla
