Linares was class in the 12th round.

Robbery upcoming?

It seemed like the attrition was going Crollas way, but maybe that was based on Linares history as much as anything. Jorge fought well in the late rounds and clearly took the last two, no way he lost this.

Two of those cards were way to close, Linares shouldn't have needed those last two rounds clear, but obviously he did and good for him fighting like it.

England is the new Quebec.

Didn't get to see this as I had plans with the old man that didn't involve streaming boxing unfortunately, was it action packed enough to watch after the fact knowing the result?

Good fight shit referee right decision

I'm retiring to the batcave to get some shut eye now

[Dean Duke]

Very entertaining fight well done Jorge you had a bit more than I predicted, thought the six round was pivotal along with the early body shots, 2 dollar Crolla needs to get some head movement with the high guard next time a very punishing fight for both men.

[chef97]

Great fight where both guys gave their all in every round and a FOTY contender like we all predicted.... Bravo for the little big men of our sport....

[Spicoli]

Thanks for the RBR caught it late and just a fantastic ebb and flow scrap. No dog in either, still and today Linares should be so much more in the know than he is. One of the sharpest hitters going. Rematch will be just as good.

[Dia bando]

A good entertaining fight right guy won , a rematch maybe we'll worth watching Crolla is a much improved fighter and he made it comparative
12 good rounds of boxing what more do you want.

[Fenster]

Excellent fight. I thought Linares extra class/change of pace would be the difference. Crolla more than held his own, not sure he can do much different in the rematch.

I think Paulie is a terrific commentator but he went all para about home-cooking. 117-111 against Crolla was more harsh than 115-114 for Linares. Right man won is all that matters.
