The sad thing is that Adam Smith shouts that it was a 'Cracking Fight' and 'we want to see it again' then both fighters say the same. Eh Day has them all well briefed in advance. This fight was as predictable as a broken clock in that we know that it would show the correct time twice per day. Such a cracking fight that ticket sales were so poor that JD were giving away 2 free tickets for purchases over £75 for the last 3 days. The public knew it was 2 over the hill fighters. Even very average fights such as Joshua v Pulev and Haye v Bellew are now PPV on Sky Sky Boxing was a poor third last night behind the Eubank fight on ITV and the Selby fight on Channel 5.
It was a decent fight, I thought Burns’ shots were a bit more eye catching but Crolla was busier throwing more and probably edged it by a round or two. I think they should do it again because a fight with Campbell (Crolla) or Taylor (Burns) would be very one sided now, you can’t begrudge them one last big payday against each other.
I thought it was a draw. Smith only mentioning Crolla's work, replays only showing Crolla's arm hitting in rounds when Burns had landed some beautiful shots. Something stunk about it all. Like Crolla but gotta love Burns. They should fight each other again IN GLASGOW as they'd both get battered off the lads they're talking about now and I don't wanna see that.
I must be missing something, the fight bored me to death and can't believe anyone would want to see it again.
Ditto. Burns was jab, jab, jab, miss right hand. And Crolla was work rate with no great quality. They've played it well, if not predictable as a double header & final big pay day for both. Although if Crolla wins again, he might get another crack at world title. Fight bored me though.
Yeah ended up disappointed in it. Dont think there was really a winner if their was...burns gave it away more than crolla won it. Was really 4 shots from crolla that had nothing on them v 2 shots from burns that we,re more eyecatching. Rinse and repeat. Burns looked like he had more in the tank. Crolla looked a bit tired from the second round. Also thought the atmosphere was a flatter than expected. They went on about how great the atmosphere was but to me anyway looked a bit flat...so was the two performances. Neither looked like they really wanted it. No snap in the punches considering their talking about fighting for world titles. Crolla looked tired as early as the second round. Just disappointing fight for me. Guys look like their only just gonna be scalps for up and coming fighters now tbh. Good guys...decent careers etc.
I thought was a good fight between two great ambassadors for the sport. The atmosphere inside the arena was good although I'm not a fan of booing fighters, both sets of fans made plenty of noise
