Stortz

Linares looking strangely confused in the 7th, Crolla on him. Has he gassed?

66-67

Crolla's round, stepping on it now!

But Linares rocks him badly!

Crolla 56-58

Crolla may be in trouble

Difficult one to score, give it to Crolla out of charity 46-49

just hope the idea is to come on strong in the second half from Crolla

Another for Linares imo, a bit closer though. Linares warned twice for low blows 36-40.

It's warming up though...

@Stortz as expected on train bk to Bristol after Fulham - updates much appreciated! 

Given every round to Linares so far, he is so quick. Crolla needs to do something else

27-30 after 3 linares

LET'S GO CROLLA

Something tells me we might never see him in a ring again

It's being widely reported now that it is mental health issues affecting Fury. Great shame but not a surprise given his previous behaviour. His issues have been well documented for a while, this interview with the ever exceptional Donald McRae is from 5 years ago

Would still rather see him fight Parker first,that would be tasty then fight a even older klit,that would be the sensible route but who knows with Hearn 

Parker is the fight on the 26 November at the moment unless they go for Klitschko. Pulev and Stiverne both turned it down according to Hearn.

Eddie Hearn trying to slot AJ instead. Not sure about that, Wlad could school him IMO 

Hearn obviously believes Wlad has permanently declined, he says they love the fight on Twitter. No way would he risk the golden goose unless he was 100% confident Klitschko has totally gone.

Maybe they've had a few whispers from inside somewhere to that effect. It's a truly stellar name for AJ's resume if he could pull it off.

Imagine the WBA/WBO will take his belts off him before much longer. 

Definitely, they've missed out on over a year of big fat sanctioning fees while Fury has been sat in Morecombe eating chips!

At least with Wlad they were guaranteed 2 or 3 lots of those a year, never mind how stifling it was for the heavyweight division.

Fight Day! Going to join @Kid in the Riot in a preemptive 'Ooooooh Anthony Crolla'!

I've bet against Crolla a couple of times and learnt my lesson!

He is one tough kid and you could already make a film about his life/career - a fantastic story.

I shall not be betting against him tomorrow! Ooooohhh Anthony Crolla!

Shame I'll probably be on the train back from Fulham when the fights on.

Ringwalks are around 2230, are you stopping in London for a few?!

Fury Klitschko off again, strip him

Brilliant fight, Crolla was superb in the last fight, Linares is brutal, but beatable...

Yeah, he executed his game plan perfectly against Barroso. A lot of credit goes to Joe Gallagher there too.

It's a genuine pick 'em fight. I would lean towards Linares after the grit he showed against Mitchell but Crolla keeps surprising us and gets better every fight.

Can't bloody wait.

Excited!

Kovalev will be punching thin air all night.

I reckon you're right, Chilemba made him look very ordinary last time he was out, which doesn't bode well for taking on someone as slick as Ward.

If you stand in front of Kov you're in a world of shit but Ward's style is the antithesis of that and I don't think Kov has the skills to cope or the ability to drag Ward into a tear up.

Can't wait for Crolla Linares on Saturday.

What was the reason for the boycott?

I wish you'd boycott this forum you tedious ****.

Your last home attendance was 12k less than ours and still you trot this shit out.

Why don't you try a new tack, maybe you could boast about the amazing stall at UWE instead?

The finish

I missed it,was it a one sided fight

Yes very much so. Beefy was as game as and didn't back down once, but his punches weren't hurting Canelo at all- much like Brook's last week on GGG.

Smith went down 3 times, one big shot on top of the head and two body shots, the final one was brutal. He kept going back for more though and trying to throw combinations but Canelo had no respect for his power at all and it was a matter of time from fairly early on.

Over 51k at the stadium and Liam comes out with a lot of credit, he ust came up short against one of the best in the world.

NOW FIGHT GGG CANELO FFS!

Valiant effort but their power wasn't comparable. Great shot the finisher.

Struggling to give Smith a round so far. He's not been hurt yet but Canelo is well in charge.

A lot of Alverez's punches caught on Smiths gloves will score...

Canelo looks powerful but Beefy isn't put off as yet

Let's go Liam lad!

If Beefy knocks him down five times and wins every round, he'll still lose.

50,000+ pissd up Mexicans will sway the judges somewhat...

No doubt!

Ringwalks are supposed to be at 0430, will  check back to see if you or JJT are here mate.

Come on Beefy!

No, getting up early tho..

Big ask for Liam, no chance of a points win I fear...

Smith on points is 20-1+!

De La Hoya claims there is going to be over 70k at the Cowboy's stadium. Shame the undercard is complete litter.

Glowacki v Usyk for WBO cruiserweight on Sky early on tonight.

Anyone staying up for Beefy v Canelo @joe jordans teeth @B1ackbird?
