Nice one! Crolla was getting up to speed on Perez by the third. The killer bodyshot actually looked benign at first, but the face of the Colombian told the story. Nice crowd too, England seems to ba a good place for boxing. The refereee looks crooked as hell though, he looked like he was Crolla’s best friend after the fight lol
Very active fight because Crolla put a lot of pressure on the champion from the very beginning. He moved well in the ring connecting nice combinations of punches preceded always by a very nice and active jab work. The knock out was pretty good. Perez got fully frustrated because was unable to connect as required.
