His nickname is "million dollar" and Anthony Crolla certainly looked a million dollars by moving up in weight at late notice to win the Vacant British Lightweight Title by dominating John Watson. Crolla delivered the knockout blow in the 9th round as Watson fell apart from a big right hand.
The fight was quite easy to score. I had it 78-74 or 6-2 in rounds to Crolla as he made a fast start winning the first 3 rounds. I thought Watson came back well in the 4th and 5th as he more than matched Crollas workrate. At that time i thought Watson was going to dominate as his body attacks seemed to slow Crolla down.
From rounds 6 through to the stoppage Crolla began to dominate again scoring the more cleaner blows. The 9th round was the biggest round of the fight as Crolla hurt Watson a few times before knocking Watson down with a big right hand to the temple. The ref waved the fight off straight away which was an excellent decision as for a few minutes there was a worry about Watson as he lay on the canvas. Thankfully the excellent ringside doctors and safety team were able to allow Watson back to his feet and walk back to his dressing room.
Going round the boxing forums everybody that posted had Crolla ahead although i only managed to obtain about 8-9 scorecards, It was an easy fight to score as Crolla basically dominated most of the fight.
