    I thought Rees was more active and controlled the center of the ring. Close but liked Rees more in the last round.

    If you compare this Rees to that Rees who fought against Matthews there is a big different. And there is a reason. It ain't Broner. It is motivation.

    What a great corner Anthony Crolla has.

    Joe Gallagher, head coach. (benefactor of the Smith clan, among others)

    Mick Williamson, cut man. (the legend who bailed out Ricky Hatton many times, among others)

    Scott Quigg, chief second's main assistant (unbeaten current world champ)

    Crolla start to take over, Rees needs a KO.
    I dont think Rees will win more rounds from now on.

    Round 5

    Crolla is dodging the Rees up-jab and chicken-wing hook and countering with flush jabs and chopping rights from outside. Very fluid movement by Crolla, as compared with Rees' jerky leaping about taking wild swings.

    10-9 Crolla

    49-46 Crolla

    Crolla can jab and counter his way to victory here

    Here here. Williamson in your corner is a Godsend. If he can patch up Hatton's face he's a true cutsman!

    Again a crolla round but I don't think it was as one sided as the commentators said it was

    3-2 crolla

    Round 6

    Crolla is pushing the jab into Rees' face, driving him back. Low blow by Rees, accidental. Long scoring jabs by Crolla. Uppercut combo to the body by Crolla. Rees overreaches with his body shots and churns wind. Backhanded jabs by Rees, and the right hand over Crolla's back as he bows forward. Jab to the neck by Crolla. Rees misses a pair of hooks from a pace out. Crolla circles right and doubles the jab. Crolla shuffles to his left and buries a hook above Rees' waistband. Crolla dips past a Rees jab. Rees is very busy, throwing a lot more but missing and not gauging distance. Crolla is ducking and sticking jabs high and low. Rees jumps in and grazes with a left hook.

    10-9 Crolla

    59-55 Crolla

    I think Reese has some blood in his nose and make the breathing harder.

    Glenn McCrory has it 58-56 Crolla, giving Rees the 1st and 6th as bookends.
