Didn't watch until late last night but that was an absolute paint job. As mentioned prior master-class is all that comes to mind. Was surprised how heavy Crolla looked on his feet even from early rounds. By the time his feet caught up and he set, Linares was turning him in knots with punches from literally every angle. Crolla did well to rebound from hard KD and I gave him the 8th round. The 1st time he actually managed to trap Linares in a corner and get off, but that was his bright spot and was just shredded late on. Have to say that Linares, and he arguably looked like one of the best boxers in the sport there, but he does fight with some bluff late. You can see him widening with punches and he almost looked like he was carrying Crolla at points late 10th and 11th. He's very conscious of his history but so much smarter now for it. Great boxing display pure and simple.
