shows what i know! I though Murray walked through him. Well done Crolla, murray is over-defending with your chin isnt getting you anyhwere long term! he cant come back but this will be Crollas best win he wont go any further.

It sells Crolla v Burns tho

[danamba7]

did the fight live up?

I thought so. Really enjoyed it.

[misterpunch]

SUPERB stuff from Crolla,i never make any of my predictions with much conviction but i could have sworn Murray would have stopped Ant

I'd say most on here said murray would win

[lefty]

Still not 100% sold on Crolla though at the world level. I think Mitchell and Burns would beat him.

[stujones]

Credit to both guys, I never thought Murray would fight at near this level again after Mitchell and Rios beat him. Always felt that when Murray got out fought once that would be the end.... he was I feel every bit as good as he was vs Mitchell and Rios.

Crolla, wish he would have used the uppercut earlier - but he looked strong at Lightweight, first time I thought that.

Lets see Crolla vs Burns, forget about a silly world title bauble - lets see who the best in Britain is.

Only just joined it. Did the commentators pin their colours to Crolla's mast from the off?

Look at Johns face. Crolla is boxing brilliantly! Great performance!

I didnt see it all, from when I started watching Murray was having plenty of success yet it was 'Crolla dominating' chat. Tonight maybe Watt had decided he was having Crolla the winner before a punch was thrown! Obviously Crolla took over. Great win for him!

I don't think he's world class.

did the fight live up?

Yeah, fantastic stuff. One of those superior domestic match-ups, not quite Rhodes-Moore, Mitchell-Murray, but nearly up there. Crolla's utter lack of power & Murray's utter lack of defence marred it somewhat if we're talking in the realm of pure aesthetics, but great dramatic viewing.

Big ups to both fellas.

[danamba7]

Look at crollas face compared to Murray's. Its alright walking forward and throwing punches but Crolla landed the classier shots even before the stoppage.

[Autobarn]

Gallagher is going to be unbearable after this, switching off now. Crolla can shut the fvck up screaming Manchester as well, trying to copy Ricky Hatton with that one, he'll get pasted when he goes in with someone that doesn't come forward in straight lines.

joe's fighters score good stoppage wins, you have to give him that.

[palooka]

Crolla one very tough man, very good fight and a very good fight.

You clearly didn't see it all.... Watt had Murray a handy lead after 4.

One more time

Abril would box Crolla's head off.

[crusader]

I watched without sound....were they trying to sell Crolla as world class?

[danamba7]

Abril would box Crolla's head off.

Bloody hell, let him have his moment!

[DMA1987]

Abril would box Crolla's head off.

Bloody hell, let him have his moment!

Wouldn't bother wasting your breath.

That outcome was never in doubt IMO. John Murray has a very good reputation in boxing to this point. Crolla did well, but all he had to do was watch a tape of Mitchell-Murray to get his tactics. It wasn't groundbreaking.

[Final round]

Crolla one very tough man, very good fight and a very good fight.

His toughness impressed me tonight. He took some fair shots from the worn Murray without much reaction.

[lefty]

Abril would box Crolla's head off.

Bloody hell, let him have his moment!

Im just going on what Eddie mentioned! He would of boxed Murray's head off aswell.

[Neil Gee]

Still not 100% sold on Crolla though at the world level. I think Mitchell and Burns would beat him.

He's a work in progress, columbo. I'm not sure whether we had this discussion b4 but I think he's a genuine late-developer and I certainly think he will beat Burns if it comes off. Maybe a fight with Burns would be good for Ant. No doubt he wants to jump in for a world title next fight but I think a fight with Burns first would be better for him.

Fair dues

I take it back Mr Watt.

Great win for Crolla.

I'll give the man in Medway that one

[Horse]

Abril isn't super amazing. Crolla has a chance against him.
