Surprise, surprise. Just signed with matchroom. No wonder he was always pushing him towards burns. Time to get a new promoter Ricky, Eddie clearly has a favourite!
I said this would happen last christmas. Happy for Ant, hopefully this will bring some big fights his way. Think hes being lined up for the Froch Groves bill
Out with the old and in with the new.Burns has been found wanting so Crolla is the next best thing.Good call by Eddie.
It's not going to make much difference really..when's the last time he was on a Hatton card? Hearn has been using him for cards or ages. I like Anthony but he's a dates filler for Eddie-a win some, lose some domestic level fighter ( which is fine by the way I'm not knocking it)
When signing domestic talent then Crolla is near the top of the list, he might not be a world champion someday but he gets in scraps and puts on a good show.
True story-I swear.The day before the Cotto-Margarito 11 fight at MSG,I was walking past the Sheraton Times Square and this dude with an English accent asks me for directions.I was curious who he was and asked him what he was doing in our fare city.He introduced himself as Anthony Crolla and he was here supporting an English fighter who was fighting for the world title against Brandon Rios.We had a great talk and he was very friendly.Since then I have followed him and his career.A great guy and I wish him all the best.:good
No WAY!!!!!!!!!! Crolla was sat next to Hearn at the Burns/Beltran card now signs with him. Shock horror!
I agree with both comments, he may get a Euro shot, regardless he is an entertaining fighter and a good addition to the stable.
