    He may not have many things left, but I think stamina is definitely one of them, always been one of his best assets, so I don't think keeping up with an aging Crolla will be a problem.

    A real pick'em of two past their sell by date fighters here. Still, not the worst match up in the world and I'll be tuning in hoping for a Burns win to set up the Taylor fight.

    Flanagan always the guy on the outside looking through the window.

    Not sure Crolla has the heart anymore, so I would go with Burns.

    Burns literally has zero chance in that fight though so it's a bit pointless IMO.

    Honestly can't envisage a scenario where burns wins, barring gross injury to Taylor.

    Does anyone know if they have done much sparring lately? Ive heard it was supposed to be a great watch when they previously did.

    I think burns is all wrong for crolla, if he can make the weight ok then burns ud in a good fight

    I also pick Burns. Crolla will bring out the best in him if he isnt finished imo

    Tough one to call this. I think Crolla has more left in the tank but if Gallagher deploys his usual tactics I can see Burns picking him off and moving. That's as long as Burns is not completely finished, which is hard to tell because Indongo would make almost anyone look shite.
