Dominant from Murray against a durable, tough fighter, admittedly one who has lost a right few and generally at a lower weight. Got a lot of time for the lad. Got beat up by Rios, too brave for his own good, but that was always a mismatch. Think he's a top European level fighter. Would like to see him work his way back through the UK rankings now and get back on the European scene. Just about rebuilding his confidence gradually. He's always looked like he's got the world on his shoulders. Hopefully they can get him enjoying his boxing again. Maybe get him in with someone like McCloskey, Crolla or even Rees by the end of the year.
 
Don't have much time for the Olympics lot, but Luke Campbell's been quite impressive as a pundit here. Much more coherrant than Johnny Nelson anyway. Seems like a good lad.
 
I don't think Burns is good enough to beat Crawford.

Saying that, if he goes the distance then the judges will probably gift him the decision anyway.<br /><br />-- 01 Mar 2014, 22:40 --<br /><br />Already I can tell that this is one of those nights where Jim Watt will simply ignore everything Crawford lands and try his best to score every single round for Burns.

Crawford has already landed a few decent counters which Watt has missed apparently.
