Derry wins again i think, i simply don't rate Crolla at all. Good to see a decent strap on the line as well, and not some meaningless alphabetti-spaghetti intercontinental bauble...
Reckon Dirty Derry could take this again, Crolla is a little too stationary and since moving to Gallagher he only fights in the "John Murray" straight lines mode. Might try and get down to this bill, be nice to see Paul Smith vs Kenny Anderson on it as well.
I'm worried this may be the case, I think Prizefighter was a terrible decision for Crolla hope he can win this and pull out of this nosedive hes in at the moment.
Agree with BB, Crolla doesn't look like the same fighter he was 12 months ago, maybe his confidence took a knock after the Matthews defeat.
Anybody know what the purses would be for a fight like this? I only ask because I know Derry turned down £15,000 to fight that stupid non-title fight with Burns. I couldn't imagine him making much more (if even) that amount for this fight?
This is a Matchroom card mainly, somebody asked Derry why fight Crolla when you could get more fighting Burns (15K) and he said I know but there's a title here. So I guess he will be getting paid slightly more than Crolla but less than that 15K. I believe Tom Stalker will be fighting on this card also and Scott Cardle V Tommy Coyle is being discussed between Matchroom and VIP according to Eddie Hearn
You forgetting he comfortably beat Kieran Farrell early December. Good performance against a 14-0 good prospect.
