Corolla showed good maturity to work around his jabs for a few of the middle rounds and let Murray wear himself out. A fully fit Murray would have seen a different outcome I think.
Quigg looked good, but it was another belt defence against a fairly average opponent. At this stage I still think Frampton would beat him quite easily
I said to the Mrs when Murray was well on top in the 4th "he'll lose this in the later rounds , proper blowing himself out"
Anyone see the Porter V Malinagi fight? Very good by Porter. Will be interesting to see him fight Kell Brooke next like he's meant to. As for Paulie I love him for his never say die attitude but I think this is it for him at the top level.
Paulie is one of the best when he is on the mic. Love listening to him.
Crolla v Murray was a cracking fight, but as others have said, after an early onslaught it was clear to see Murray was going to struggle late on, providing Crolla could take what was being thrown at him.
Domestically, Mitchell and Burns are both levels above though IMO. Will be interesting to see where Crolla goes now, if he sets out for world level, what route he will take. (Mitchell going IBF and Burns looking like going WBC route).
