    I make Crawford favourite, but with the fight almost certainly going the distance, I think this is good value. Im going to the fight too so it will make me cheer even louder for Ricky. I also had a few questions. Does anyone know the ring walk times and order? And also who will do the announcing. If anyone can help cheers :bbb

    Why not? Burns was fantastic against Martinez, Katsidis and Mitchell. The former two fights he was the heavy underdog, and the latter was supposed to be 50/50. Beltran and Gonzalez Burns was favourite, in this fight he is once again the underdog, definately worth a bet, he fights way better when the underdog

    In fact, we can go back years to the first 22-0 fighter Burns fought as an underdog, he won that fight in an upset too

    yep, 9/4 is value though I slightly favour Crawford as a result of the jaw and Burns recent form.

    Burns at 9/4 is a very decent bet Crawford on what i have seen very skilled,slick but i think Burns workrate could be the key.

    The fight will go to the cards IMO.

    Burns needs to box smart in and out all night, let Crawford come to him, if he gets into a brawl he will lose, I reckon after his last two near loses Nelson will keep him to a good game plan and win on points, lookout for all those idiots afterwards calling Crawford overrated

    You'd be a fool not to have a saver know burns by robbery decision, knowing what the UK is like.

    A lot of people (ironically those who hype him up mostly) don't realise that Crawford has been in a few brawls himself with journeymen and been caught a lot, it's like judging Kevin Mitchell on his performance over Prescott alone, like Mitchell, Crawford can and has been caught before by lesser fighters

    Easy money although best price available now is 2/1 and probably drop further.

    nah , i wouldnt bet on that, crawford has too much class for burns. incredible amateur pedigree.

    i think crawford is good value at 1/2
     
  14. 9/4 is an excellent value bet and the only concern for me is the jaw.

    Burns will not lose on the scorecards and I am laying Crawford on Betfair at everything available at odds of 1.5 and under. That bet also gives me the draw as a winner.

    put 100 pounds on last night with william hills @2/1. crawford looks like he will be hitting burns from all angles but if ricky gets inside and wears him down with body shots and uppercuts then i can see ricky stopping him late on
