Come on Crolla! Best of luck to him, he deserves a shot at a lonsdale belt and I think he'll win by decision.
Crolla - Watson is a great match up - very big test for Crolla - who looked very good in his last fight
What i like was when Joe stood with arms round head worried about Watson and then Richie Davies hugging Watson. SFN has started brilliantly. 3 fantastic battles and tonight Crolla showed Joe's worth.
Crolla's win is a great example of why losing fights when you're learning doesn't mean anywhere near as much as the promoters (and particularly a certain dwarf) seem to think. Its the fighter that you become that counts. I watched Crolla lose to Al Hamidi in Bolton a while back. I bet he learned a thing or two from being bullied and elbowed and butted all night in that one. Fair play to him for coming back from that and the Sykes loss and winning the Lonsdale belt. A nicer kid you couldn't wish to meet. I'm made up for him. Hope John Watson is ok and that he comes back from this too :good
Fantastic fight, really enjoyed it. Crolla was excellent. Respect to John Watson though, he made a real fight of it.
gutted for john really thought he was gunna win last night but it was crollas night he boxed great credit where credits due with his style hes gunna be great to watch over the next few years hopefully john can come back again after a bit of a rest to recharge the batteries
