    Crolla starting to look quite tired.

    86-85 Crolla

    Burns nicked the 9th for me, Crolla slowed dramatically in that round or he just took a round off but in a fight like this you can't take a round off.

    Crolla price is drifting on Betfair, even though scoring seems to be going for him, so keep an eye on that if you have bets on!

    Burns needs to step it up, guaranteed he'll be well down on the cards.

    Why? Crolla and Burns are both high workrate fighters who aren't afraid of a tear-up. And it's not like either guy is prone to holding...

    Round 10
    I think Crolla's body work has weakened Burns, he doesn't look as fresh as in the previous round, but he did finish the round well in the last 30 seconds.
    Crolla 10-9
    Crolla 98-93

    Quite a lot of close rounds, I have it 6-4 Corolla but 7-3 or 5-5 are ok too

    Because let's face it, Crolla vs Burns couldn't possibly be anywhere near as turgid as that Briedis vs Perez hugfest last weekend. ;)

    Yellow and black often indicate danger or poisonousness in nature, if you're a boxer and you're going to rock that colour combo on your ring attire you should at least be a puncher. Very disappointed in Crolla.
