    He was coming along really nicely. Hes at british level and about to get into Euro Class. Hes not ready for Morales. Erik is still World Class. I had him beating Maidana whos a Top 5 140 Fighter. Crollas style is made for Morales. Crolla doesnt hit hard. He wears you down but gets hit alot himself. Morales will pick him apart and stop him. Why cant they just do it the proper way and go European then get him am title shot in his own weight division. If he gets beat down and stopped then it would be awful for him and his confidence. He should fight Gavin Rees!

    It's possible that the fight is at 135lbs for the vacant WBC, if true then you can't fault Crolla for taking it, but 140 is suicide.

    its not at 140, its at 138 catchweight and is likely to get moved to 135.

    Not exactly a bad decision, every boxers dream fighting at MGM Grand, gets his name out there in the states, win win situation for him so long as he doesnt disgrace himself which im 100% confident he wont. He will give it a good go.

    Morales aint the fighter he was, stop being so negative and get behind him. He can do this

    Rees is always injured so that's a no go. I dond mind the fight. Sure he'll probably lose, but if he does himself justice i just might catapolt him onto bigger things. And you never no, Erik shouldnt have too much left at this stage

    He didn't beat Maidana, he put up a good fight though much better than most people though before the fight.

    Crolla is going to get smashed but it will be his highest payday so he wont give a ****.
