Ricky Burns vs Judge Dread on March 1st

Will Ricky ever fight out of Scotland again? Be great to see him travel abroad and take a big fight on foreign soil!

I'll be tuning-in to see this though. Should be a great fight!

 

Would love to travel to see the Rickster fight abroad one day and hopefully it happens but i'll enjoy going to fights in Scotland for as long as I can too.

 

Honestly, I had Salinas vs Quigg as a draw.

I hope there isn't a controversial decision. If it does happen, people need to vent their anger at the right people this time instead of Ricky/Billy.

Ricky will always have the opportunity to travel but I doubt he would want to, he probably makes more money in Scotland compared to what he would make in America. Looking forward to a trip to Glasgow, going to be a great night especially with Wadi vs Simmons on the undercard.

 

I like Ricky to pull this off, and deserving to do so.

 

I like Ricky in this one aswell in a clean non controversial win Crawford hasn't ever been 12 and he certainly hasn't been 12 with someone who will pressure him and be throwing back the amount of punches Ricky will throw.

 

If the Ricky Burns that beat Roman Martinez at super feather shows up Crawford is in for a tough nights work.

Ive been one of Ricky Burns biggest critics in the past but Id love to see him beat Crawford and shut a lot of people up.

 

Wtf are you smoking,Crawford ain't no puncher.

 

The way I see this fight is as follows;


Crawford has great skills amazing footwork and after watching his last fight again recently he seems to have a ok chin because Prescott did tag him a couple of times. He looks really comfortable taking centre of the ring and fighting at his pace. Has good power.

but he's

Never been 12 rounds
Never had to work at a high pace under pressure
Never fought anybody in the top 20
stepping up to a much higher level
Will have 10,000 scots making him feel very alone

Ricky Burns has amazing workrate and throws lots of punches, this for one will be totally new for Crawford, I actually think ricky's defence is very good up until his fight with Beltran where his game plan changed due to his injury. His chin is more than good enough to handle crawfords power, his heart and determination are as good as anybody in boxing. Ricky also has a great jab.

Now many people think Crawford will just turn up and outbox ricky but I don't see this happening because I think ricky has the skills to keep Crawford at bay plus with the amount of punches burns throws any close rounds will go to burns for this reason alone. Crawford will not stop burns and as the rounds go on i can see Crawford feeling the heat just like gonzalez did, if it turns into a brawl Crawford wont be able to go the distance so as long as burns keeps it tight for the first 6 or 7 rounds and has a high work rate he will win.

I think late burns stoppage.

 

I wouldn't be as bold as to say Burns will stop him but I agree with almost everything else you said.Crawford hasn't proved anything that says he has what it takes to stop a tough sob like Burns,people that say otherwise don't have a clue what they are talking about.

 

I'm sorry fan boy but Crawford ain't stopping Burns.

As a matter of fact did you watch Crawfords last fight?

 

If possible can you post a link for his fight against Klimov, I am unable to find it anywhere.

 

We will see a very different burns on fight night to the one who turned up against gonzalez, ricky always produces when he is the underdog and he fears Crawford which will again work in his favour, I truly believe he didn't think gonzalez was going to be a tough fight and that showed in his performance, he knows this is going to be his toughest fight and will be on top of his game ,a fit and healthy burns fighting at his peak imo will be too much for Crawford. If Crawford turns up and completely dominates burns like everyone is saying I will be the first to agree he will become a great, personally I think he is another hype job who will get found out March 1st. Burns is making his 8th title defence over two weights, Crawford has beat a washed up Prescott and oh yeah klimov......... whoever the f'@k he is. The smart bet has to be burns everytime
