I'm surprised that there's only half a pound in it between these two since Crolla is stepping up from Super Feather. Previously I wouldn't have given him a chance against Watson but having seen how he battled and outlasted Andy Morris last time out, I think you've got to give Crolla a chance. What do you think guys ?

Crolla still got a great chance as he was a good amateur with good skills, but I have to say I think Super-Feather was his ideal weight, he was just getting his strength up at that weight and starting to get the TKO's. I wonder if he can carry that strength up with him against a naturally bigger man. Hope he can, if he can't it's no disgrace.
