Linares vs Crolla 2

[Alpha]

For now I think Crolla should remain at lightweight and seek out guys like Cardle or Dodd to get some confidence back before eventually migrating towards Flanagan or Campbell.

Crolla can come again and his story is magnificent which no one can dispute.

Linares is far more experienced now and I think he has a chance of winning against Garcia. It is far from a formality.

I am sure we have all watched Linares from when he was young and thought he was going to be special. He is a talented and gifted fighter who then just lost to people that he was just better than for reasons such as cuts and chin.

Now Linares has come on good and whilst it may be late in the day lets hope he is around for a few more years.

Garcia is quality but Linares has the experience.

Linares looked good but Crolla made it really easy for him. He just plodded forward and wasn't throwing anything troublesome. I can't see Linares standing up to Garcia's power for very long and Garcia has great feet/judgement of distance and won't get caught by too many combinations. Linares runs out of steam quickly too. That was easily his biggest problem on Saturday night, he slowed down a lot in the second half and was pacing himself. He did come out to AC/DC though so god bless him for that.

I really want to see Garcia versus Lomachenko. Maybe a year from now if it happens at all but it's the best fight I can think of in boxing.

I defended Crolla/Gallagher after fight one over the tactics they used and stick they got. I cant this time around. I think they took it to heart and tried to come up with something new for the sake of trying something new, which is mental. Other than spontaneous human combustion there's only the one scenario where Crolla beats Linares, and thats by putting him under unbelievable pressure in the hope that he breaks down. How you do that by bouncing around like an idiot I dont know. Maybe subconsciously Gallagher was trying to keep Crolla out of harms way, which is odd because although I had the sound off and couldnt tell exactly what was being said, he seemed to have no trouble inviting Marcus Morrison to go back out round after round to get his head punched in.

Linares was class as you'd expect. The knockdown was a thing of beauty, he was hitting Crolla with shots he wasnt seeing coming, he was at least two steps ahead at all times. You could add up all of Crolla's good moments and make for one good round.

Linares Garcia will be tasty if it comes off. Two absolute top drawer operators keeping belts warm for Terry Flanagan.

Flanagan is just another domino for Garica to knock down (and out). I would favor Flanagan over Easter tho.

I know it is hard to tell but Memphis was being sarcastic.

I hope so, especially after his fight this weekend. It was a hard watch. It had moments of activity but was kind of boring.

I like this new section also. Nice idea.

It was Batman's idea.
