Not sure he deserves the Burns fight, but I've never thought Burns was 'all that' so I wouldn't exactly be stunned if Crolla beat him.

As for Sky, they're shit at commentary.Jim Watt is particularly awful and I'm not looking forward to him later on. Saying that, Sky have a guy called Nick Halling, and his commentary on the Mattheysse fight and the Stevenson-Dawson fight was some of the best I've ever heard. The guy just replicates the excitement you feel watching Martin Tyler do football. You've got to have the passion for it and this is something Adam Smith, Jim Watt, Glenn McCrory and Johnny Nelson do not convey.
I also think Ian Darke is very good. But my god the rest are a disgrace.

I actually had crolla winning 8-4. I left my scorecard in work but I think I gave 2,3,6 and 7 to Rees and the rest to Crolla but plenty of close rounds in there. Rees tired terribly so hard to give him the late rounds.
