    Crolla will win imo on points.

    Murray v Abraham is a genuine 50-50 fight although I lean towards Abraham to win that.

    IMO Murray has boxed to many times this year and I believe that crushing defeat to Golokovin has taken something out of him,however he is favoured by the fact that AA is way way past his best.

    I really rate Haskins but he is a small bantamweight who would be more suited to super-fly and I think he will get stopped late on but hopefully I am very wrong.

    aa still has enough to win atleast 4 rounds which will be enough to get the decision, and murray wont stop abraham.

    Haskins I don't think is good enough unfortunately, I rate Murray slightly above AA but I wouldn't predict him to beat AA with it being in Germany and I really wouldn't like to say with Crolla, would love to see him do it but I'm really not sure on that one.

    If crollas jab works as well 2nd time around and he can find a right hand or a left hook to put behind it he wins..still a big ask though cause perez was the morr fluid when he let his hands go.

    I thought Murray was nailed on to beat AA when it was announced but now I think about it they have very similar styles and although AA should b past it he's still beating decent competition. Murrays warm ups have been dire so I can see AA sneaking a dull one.
    Haskins is a good fighter but must admit I.don't know who he's facing. I'd say Murray has the best chance especially if he can hurt Arthur maybe with some body shots and keep the work rate high. He put he was watching froch v AA and that's not a bad idea keep.it long and throw in volume

    My initial hunch is:

    Crolla wins
    Murray draws
    Haskins loses

    All close fights though and it wouldn't surprise me if all 3 results were controversial, or if we came away with 3 world titles or none.

    If you listened to the commentators and believed what they said then you would think Haskins is already a world champ.

    Anyway, Murray stands the best chance and Haskins the least.

    Even with German advantage i still favour Murray, but, like most who go over there, you have to make sure you win the rounds noticeably. Murray can have a tendency to reduce his workrate at times. This might not be to bad against AA who has a shocking work rate.

    Crolla's problem is if Perez took him lightly last time out.

    I rate Randy and think his speed and workrate will be too much for Haskins.

    What had Perez done prior to the draw with Crolla that made you think he was above Crolla's level and thus took him lightly? Bear in mind his only ever significant fight was a one sided loss to a blown up, inactive, unmotivated Gamboa.
