If Murray can take 30+ minutes of bam bam, can't see crolla stopping him!

Think Murray wins mid - late rounds

Saw it, seems like Stephen's another with ideas above his station, Joe Murray's a good fighter and he gave Liam Walsh a very close fight that could have gone either way, don't know why Smith sees him as being so far beneath him.

fvcking hell, are they fighting today or tomorrow? I'm getting impatient.

I think there'll be great 2 way action. I can't see crolla staying with murray head to head - he's far too strong - but if crolla boxes within himself, uses his lighter feet to get in and then out, and mix in the hard shot now and again...he can make his mark later on, get that extra time and space, and if things go his way, try to start backing murray up.

It is half empty or less, they only opened half of it up.

Crolla is a good lad, really want him to win, have a feeling Murray will stop him in a similar fashion to Derry though.

Exactly! And they know each other well so I can't see Crolla going crazy like he did against Mathews, so it will come down to how much Murray has left and we just can't know that (yet)

Murray walked onto a few there in Round 1 and they had an effect.

crolla really has to be on it, though. he can't be too passive, he can't be too aggressive. he has to avoid too much contact, but he has to punch with conviction. just has to get that balance right. the last few fights, he's tried different things, and I think vs the aggressive murray, this is the time to put it all together.

He is doing okay, we expect the early rounds to be difficult, and yeah I have faith in Crolla rising to the occassion and putting it altogrther.

I think it's 1-1 so far. Crolla didnt look that comfortable in that second round though.
