Re: Linares vs Crolla 2
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.
