Crolla looks a bet to me. He's been out of sorts a little lately, prizefighter was a poor show but much better than Mathews' performance in the same competition (knocked down and UD'd by Terry Flannigan).
First fight was nuts, had Derry ahead but looking like he was going to get dropped at any point. Thought the stoppage was very premature and I fancied Crolla to get back into it if the bout continued.
Since the first fight Crolla's shown more to give the impression that he's in better shape and got a bit more to give at domestic level. If you're backing Crolla you also get a virtual guarantee that your opponent's nose will be in bits by the third round latest.
Was expecting about 4-9, even with it being in Liverpool as I reckon Derry's better on the road. Always fancied Crolla as being very overrated when being thrown about with Morales and co. at world level a few years back, but he should have more than enough here to set up a possible Burns bout.

Bellew (19-1-1, 12 KO) started fast, but once Chilemba (20-1-2, 9 KO) got himself going, he was even with Bellew at worst, and often made Tony look lost and a bit desperate. Bellew, 30, looked good at times, and there's no doubt he's a solid contender in what is frankly a weak light heavyweight class, but he had plenty of trouble with the 25-year-old Chilemba, who proved his own quality as a contender.
The fight was a bit of a disappointment in terms of action, but not unwatchable or anything like that. Expect plenty of moaning from the Bellew side, which I guess is fair enough (squeaky wheels get the grease and all that), but the draw call was no controversy, at least from where I sit.

lol i no sense says a early to mid stoppage rios but i gotta funny feeling this cud go a lot of ways..not seen a lot of burns tbh so dont no what to think of him , dont rate mitchell so that dont say much for me. But on that showing a weak 135 division is there for crawfords taking he'll be more exciting to watch to as think he was more cautious than normal (understandably)

I went one better mate, backed the draw in running Crolla Derry at 25-1 after rnd 5. Thought Derry was gonna blow him over after 7 so backed him in-running the KO. Managed to nick a massive £40 for a 25-1 winner
