Liam Smith vs. Josh Kelly - Former world champion makes prediction
Watch Mayweather vs. Gotti III on DAZN (exc. MEX)
Anthony Crolla is backing his former gym mate, Liam Smith, to get the job done when he faces Josh Kelly next month.
The pair meet at middleweight in a fascinating encounter on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs. Daniel Dubois, live on DAZN, ON September 21.
Smith is looking to send a reminder of his world class credentials following a loss to Chris Eubank Jr last year.
The Liverpool man, a former world champion, begins the fight as a slight favorite, and Crolla thinks the Liverpool man will eventually get the better of Kelly.
“I think this is a must-win for both men, certainly if Josh wants to challenge for world titles and if Liam is desperate to win another belt at that level,” said Crolla when speaking to Seconds Out.
“I just feel Liam can learn from the lesson from his last fight and roll back the years. Stylistically it’s a very good fight. Josh is super-sharp, it’s just a matter of whether he can hold Liam off.
“I could get this wrong, but I think Liam catches up with Josh late and forces the stoppage.”
