Anthony Crolla vs Gavin Rees

Nice fight for the undercard.

Rees is too good for Crolla, late stoppage or wide points win.

 

Don't understand why he's putting Frampton on the card, he can sell 10,000 in Belfast! If Barker gets someone decent and Selby fights the Euro champ this could be a quality show.

 

If he does put Frampton on this card,it would mean that they couldn`t get someone decent for a fight in Belfast at this time and he only has so many dates so I expect a keep busy fight for Frampton with hopefully a better fight lined up for Sptember/October

 

Not very good if thats the case. Expect Frampton to leave.

 

Why would he leave? he has had one good fight this year which won him the European title and it looks like an easy keep busy payday and workout on the Manchester bil(better then not fighting at all) with something decent I would expect lined up in Belfast in September/October hardly compares with the situation poor Scott Quigg is in at the moment.

 

Its poor mate. He being bumped for other fighters. Matchroom need more sky dates otherwise fighteers are going to become unhappy. Why not get EBU defence in Belfast in June or July than fighting a **** poor opponent on Haye bill.

 

Crolla wins this for me. Not a Rees fan really, looked average enough against Andy Murray. Interesting fight though.

 

nahh he has to manage his fighters well thats all.The lack of dates will be a problem in the next 18 month for sure which he will have to manage well and hopefully get more dates in time.Not like Frampton would have to many other options in the Uk and as long as he`s promised and gets deliverd a big fight in September/October then I don`t see the problem.

I think if Hearn could of got a big fight for Frampton ie a World title fight he would be fighting in Belfast but with the season ending soon and with a lack of dates doesn`t make a EBU defence atractive an event for Hearn who is trying to finish the season with big fights/events.Scott Quigg is the fighter i`m feeling sorry for at the moment.

 

good fight on an undercard, hope Crolla can do the business

 

So no shows between Froch and Haye is a good thing. Frampton should be headling shows. One year left to improve boxing or sky pull the plug.

 

I think Hearn will be given more dates, the signings of Campbell and Haye should see to that.

 

With the stable he`s building i think that they are going to be fine when the contract is up for renewel.If it`s 4 weeks between cards is not great but if the quality of the cards we do get make up fot it I won`t grumble and hope Boxnaton and w. schedule has boxing on the saturdays when theres not boxing on Sky.Frampton has and will headline shows,it`s just his next one could be in sept/oct.The Manchester card has come up and used up a date but it will get great ratings is a good thing for Hearn and Sky boxing.We have the Manchester date and the Hull date by my calclations there is one more date to use up if they are not counting the Froch ppv,hopefully he can get Geale over for Barker and if he can win the Ryder-Saunders purse bid that would be one hell of a show.

 

sorry macky rees wins
probably by stoppage imo

 

What happened to crolla taking a break? he has been in alot of tough fights recently and this will be another one.
