    Sometimes you can just tell how good a fighter is regardless of their level of opposition, I remember people saying similar things about kovalev, those who watched him knew how good he was. Crawford will win a wide UD in my opinion.
     
  4. Foreign fighter getting a wide UD on an Eddie Hearn promotion?:rofl

    Ricky Burns too good for him anyway and the knockers are going to be silenced.

    Yeah I'm just predicting what I think the actual result will be not the judges scorecards.

    Just because someone picks against a fighter doesn't mean they are a 'knocker', people seem to be over sensitive when it comes to burns.

    Kevin Mitchell beat a far better Prescott and more impressively than the Prescott Crawford beat imo

    Crawford will not being allowed to dictate the pace of the fight and getting comfortable in there rhythm wise picking his shots will be the key to the fight.I understand why people like him he is very skilled.

    He is also unproven at this level calling Crawford the elite 135lb fighter is not basing any argument on fact but thinking he can step up levels of performance against better fighters?

    On Saturday he faces a proven fighter at championship level away from home and out of his comfort zone.The pressure and pace Burns can fight at is his weapon that Crawford will need to negate.

    Looking forward to see how it plays out Saturday night.

    Before he punched himself out Gonzales was very comfortable dictating the pace of the fight, whether or not Crawford is as good as Gonzales is yet to be seen (I'm fairly confident he is better) but if Ricky is falling short with his shots again what will he be able to do to drag Crawford out of his comfort zone? I suppose he could become aggressive and try to bully him but that seems to me like it would be completely playing into Crawford hands giving him opportunity to counter burns as he comes in.

    Il be giving burns serious props if he wins this as I rate Crawford highly.

    Simple fact is Win lose or draw we all know with Ricky and this fight there will be serious drama excitement and someone who will put his body through sheer hell if needs be and he will never give up that's all we can ask for as fans if he is good enough he will will if he is not then it won't be for lack of effort . Obviously I am a burns fan :but I don't know how anybody can say he is average

    Im not implying it does tell us anything about the fight sat,although whatever Terance has done has a pro or am Ricky has bettered it, lets just see if his coach is has vocal after the fight.
