JrGooNer Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Anthony Crolla to take on Jorge Linares on the 24th September 2016 at the Manchester Arena for a unification bout including the WBA, WBC Diamond and RING titles So turns out Eddie and co did have something better than Flanagan lined up for Anthony Crolla. Personally I'm excited about this fight both as a boxing fan and as a Crolla fan. To see him win the Ring belt would be amazing. What do you lot think? Should he have just taken the offer from frank for the Terry Flanagan unification.. Link to Article Edited June 14, 2016 by JrGooNer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selij Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Re: Anthony Crolla vs Jorge Linares 24/09/16 Fair play for taking this I say. He's into the lion's den though - but I wish him well - big Crolla fan myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxeador Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Re: Anthony Crolla vs Jorge Linares 24/09/16 Good champion Mr Crolla, defending with another champ. That´s a true defense for a world title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pittbox Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Re: Anthony Crolla vs Jorge Linares 24/09/16 He's one of my favourites out of this wave of new British world champions.

They are all truly gutted about this. One Flanagan fan was like ''Guess we wont get to find out who the best in Manchester is now then seeing as Eddie has ducked us''..

I think Crolla has earned the right for a couple of easy-ish voluntaries if he comes out of this one on top. Maybe Flanagan can fight either Barroso or Perez if he wants to earn the right to fight Crolla new article..

pittbox Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Re: Anthony Crolla vs Jorge Linares 24/09/16 Yes, Crolla deserves easier fight, but defence against Zlaticanin may be WBC requirment. If I'm right Zlaticanin still holds WBC belt and winner of unification gets "in recess" belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ton Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Re: Anthony Crolla vs Jorge Linares 24/09/16 Could you ever imagine Frank Warren in such a dangerous match up when he had "easier"/safer options for his cash cows? Ducking :haha: I know Eddie gets some stick on here and elsewhere, but he occassionally takes risks! There are fights out there for Crolla to milk a few more wins infront of a packed out Mancehster Arena, but he's chucked him in here!

elabel Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Re: Anthony Crolla vs Jorge Linares 24/09/16 Very good matchup. The experts think that Linares is the favorite in this one but Million Dollar improves in every fight he is. If anthony can do some damage early to linares thank i think he can stop him. Anthony defense and his workrate compard with his pressure style would be the key to a victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Ortega Nieto Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Re: Anthony Crolla vs Jorge Linares 24/09/16 This if a good fight, I think Crolla is at its best and to beat Linares will need to get the best out of himself. Linares is not a good encajador and if it is able to connect solid blows Crolla can take the win before the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Re: Anthony Crolla vs Jorge Linares 24/09/16, who you pickin? Crolla sees flaws in Linares Anthony Crolla says he’s Jorge Linares is the best fighter he’s faced – but believes there are flaws he can exploit as they clash for the WBA, WBC Diamond and vacant Ring magazine Lightweight titles at the Manchester Arena on Saturday night, live on Sky Sports. Crolla welcomes Linares into his hometown fortress where he’s been so impressive in his last two outing – unleashing a pair of fiendish bodyshots to KO Darleys Perez to win the WBA crown in November and then destroy the dangerous Ismael Barroso in May. ‘Million Dollar’ would love to complete a hat-trick of KO wins in consecutive World title fights, but knows the three-weight Venezuelan star represents his hardest job to date in the paid ranks.

Dave_ Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Re: Anthony Crolla vs Jorge Linares 24/09/16, who you pickin? I'm normally quite shrewd with boxing bets but i got my fingers badly burned in Crolla's last fight, i was really shocked at his progress but I'm going to try and get my money back with Linares as i think he'll be a little bit to good. I love how Crolla has taken this instead of facing Flanagan, anything that makes Frank Warren squirm has to be a good thing as i can't stand the toad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yabibor Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Is Jorge Linares better or worse after DeMarco fight Linares was amazing in early rounds in fight with DeMarco in 2011. Is he better or worse after that beating by DeMarco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ton Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Re: Anthony Crolla vs Jorge Linares 24/09/16, who you pickin? Hope Crolla can do it, I really like the lad! A fellow Mancunian and top red (Manchester United fan)! I think he has got to where he is through sheer hard work as opposed to boxing ability but absolutely fair fucks to the lad!!! Maybe I underestimate his ability, probably due to some of his results in earlier years where he seemed about par with British level opponents, and I have simply predicted losses in his last 2/3 fights, but he keeps surprising. This might be a bridge too far, but he may also be buoyed on by the Manchester crowd to victory! A glance at Oddschecker shows a very close fight with the firms having Crolla as a slight favourite, so maybe they too have seemingly learnt from past outings not to write him off. Unfortunately on Saturday I am playing a gig so will miss the live fight, but hopefully I can avoid hearing the result and see it the morning after.

repsac Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Re: Anthony Crolla vs Jorge Linares 24/09/16, who you pickin? Like both. Rooting for Crolla, but picking Linares. Hoping for a good competitive fight that ends in a draw. I can see Crolla getting a TKO by a cut stoppage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
