Round 9
Crolla seemed annoyed he couldn't put away Ramirez when the bell for that round went. He can smell blood by so far is being pushed back.

Yep, Crolla wins it by unanimous decision.
So, how does Joshua measure up?

Yonfrez Parejo is on his way to the ring to take on Belfast's Ryan Burnett for the WBA Bantamweight title.
All the build-up to this fight has been on Anthony Joshua, but it is his opponent Joseph Parker who has perhaps the more interesting background.
