    ha ha your all far too over confident, we will see if Crawford can fight 12 rounds at world level, in fact name me 1 of his opponents that has ever applied constant pressure on him? big shock on the cards trust me

    As you will see when I started this thread I said I am not a betting man but if the odds are stupid which they probably will be I might be tempted. I know this is burns toughest fight probably maybe but it is a fact that this is crawfords hardest fight by a mile. Win or lose you will have to give burns repsect after this fight because its going to be a lot closer than you all think, I would bet on that!!!!

    I don't agree with that. I thought Beltran may have gotten the stoppage had it not been for all the holding Burns was allowed to do.

    He is in for a serious shock I agree, he is going to be shocked at how easy it was to win a world title.

    I was just playing on your thread title. I don't think it will be 'easy' as such, because Ricky will try all he can to hang onto his titles but I think Crawford will outbox him to a fairly comfortable UD.

    You may be right but at some point in the fight they will be trading and not boxing and I think its then we will see if Crawford has ability to become a world champ, personally I think he definitely will one day just not on March 1st

    ricky I agree is not as naturally gifted as Crawford but burns had fought crawfords style before and he always finds a way to win whereas Crawford has never been on a ring with somebody like ricky

    That's besides the point. There is no rule n boxing which says if you have a broken jaw, caused by a punch you are allowed to hold excessively. He should have at least been deducted points.

    Also as far as I am aware it was a dislocated jaw not a broken one.

    I'm not saying that Burn's isn't tough just that he isn't near impossible to stop. I haven't seen any footage of Terrance Crawford so I am not making a pick on this fight.

    Unfortunately, most people won't be shocked if the cards go Burns' way.

    Anyway, I think Crawford will stop him.

    Crawford is faster and stronger with a better defensive arsenal.

    Credit for having the minerals for backing Burns, I hope the bookies do the same and offer some decent returns on a Crawford win. I doubt he can win comfortably because Burns is the sort of fighter that is never going to let it be comfortable.
