kiddy Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Linares just reinforced that he's operating on a different level to the vast majority at LW. The Garcia fight, in Vegas, the most obvious fight in the division. As for Crolla, there's still big domestic options in Flanagan or a move up to take on Burns, should they come through their own defence's. Might see a change in Crolla's corner though. I thought Gallagher was wrong to suggest pulling him out at the end of the 11th. Considering his unwillingness to do such in the Morrison fight earlier & as much as he was behind on points, that should have been done 2/3 rounds earlier. It would have been mentally devastating to the only fighter to have taken Linares the distance, now twice, had he done so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Morrison get his face panned in worse for 4 rounds yet want to pull Crolla out in the last was crazy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKMAN Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 2 Completely different class of fighters in the ring . Crolla gracious in defeat accepting what everyone else knew, he's just not good enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Fyvie Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 U must be joking [emoji3] Why's that? Taylor has a lot to learn before getting in there with OD. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMDP Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I would echo what was said before. Nigh on flawless display from Linares, really great to watch. Seems like a top boi too.As for Taylor/Davies - I'd really like to see it and think it's a fairly 50/50 fight. Really like both of them and think it would be a cracking scrap. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chlamydia Kid Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Think Garcia would smash Linares. Too quick and powerful. Linares is amazing when he gets to dictate the pace and he's good at maintaining the distance to keep it at his own pace. But Garcia would be able to back him up and take him out his comfort zone and I think you'd see a different side to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Wouldn't be close imo. Linares cuts very easily as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisleysaints Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Another masterclass from Linares on sat night the uppercuts were hammering home most of the night. If Burns comes through his fight you'd imagine that would be the fight fast Eddie would try get Crolla to go for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oleksandr Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 These 2 Days programs that HBO do are quality, this is my favourite so far, follows Loma during the Walters fight. Some great close ups/slow mos that I'd missed first time around, what a talent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 If that's the one where his dad said he moved him from the gym to dance lessons at the age of 6 it's supposed to be very good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieStevenson Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Saturday's card worth a watch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernJambo Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Only seen Usyk once (Friday night/sat morning) but he looked the business. Saturday card only see betting for smith v Williams, not seen Williams but apparently a 50/50 and Flanagan worth watching, British world champ after all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernJambo Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Then of course Loma in the early hours! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Stewart Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I assume you were only referring to the Manchester card (which is definitely worth a watch), but if not, should definitely watch the "Ukrainian" card as well. Usyk and Gvozdyk are top boys, and Vasyl Lomachenko is without question the most special boxer on the planet. Like the Lionel Messi of boxing in that you should watch him any chance you can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieStevenson Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I'm recording Loma as I'll probably be watching UFC at the time. Mate and I are casual boxing fans. I'll be putting forward the Manchester card as the preferred viewing pleasure for Saturday night after the derby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
