Linares v Crolla, round 11
Anthony Crolla continues to try and track down Jorge Linares but he's really landing nothing of note.
The Venezuelan looks comfortable, dancing around before letting fly a ferocious left low to the body of Crolla.
He then lands a right, followed by an uppercut and a tired Crolla looks to be taking a bit of punishment.

Nick Aaron: Crolla has done well, just looks to me that his punches lack any real power.
Linares v Crolla, round 11
Anthony Crolla surely can't win this on points now, so it's knockout or nothing for the home town hero.
But it's Jorge Linares who is throwing the bigger blows early in the 11th - three, four, five-punch combinations that Crolla does his best to ride.

Linares is getting tired so Crolla needs to put the pressure on to him now. He needs to give it his all.
Linares v Crolla, round 10
Anthony Crolla finds a right-hander, but that doesn't rock Jorge Linares.
The Venezuelan returns one to Crolla's body and then tries a big uppercut with his left, a little like the one that floored the Mancunian earlier, but he ducks out of that one.
That cut above Crolla's eye needs seeing to again.

Boxing pundit on BBC Radio 5 live
Crolla won the round with just pure work rate, pressure and letting his hands go. Was Linares taking a break or showing signs of tiredness?
Our 5 live commentators say it is one-way so far.

That shot was clean on the button but the courage Crolla has and he finished the round quite well. I have never seen Linares so confident in a fight before.

And Anthony Crolla is down!
That was such a quick, powerful uppercut from Jorge Linares that took the Mancunian by surprise and he's on the canvas.
Crolla takes a knee and a seven count and gets back to his feet. He looked seriously rocked, but he's powering on with this raucous Manchester crowd right behind him.
