The Fight Community Reacts To Crolla vs Burns Decision

The Anthony Crolla vs Burns decision ultimately went the way of hometown Manchester man Crolla. Here’s the pick of the reaction.

The Crolla vs Burns decision read out as a unanimous points decision victory in the end for local man Anthony Crolla at the Manchester Arena.

But that perhaps didn’t tell the full story in what proved to be a fantastic scrap between two true warriors.

Ricky Burns gave Crolla all he could handle in spells in the contest in what proved a popular fight with those that attended and watched on TV.

As always, boxing fans are a passionate bunch and have been vocal across the board in their thoughts overall on last night’s sweet science action:

All in all, most people seem to think it was at least somewhat of a decent scrap. Those in live attendance certainly seemed to have a good time.

Whether or not we see a rematch remains to be seen.

Their styles matched up decently enough, to be fair, but Crolla may look to use this as a springboard to make another run at a world title.

Two of the sports most likeable fighters produced in the ring yet again. Showing trash talk before a fight isn’t always necessary.
