I think people just think that crolla isn't a good fighter just because he's trained by Gallagher. I favour crolla. Ricky's success came in lightweight because he was big for the weight and was able to bully. At his age now I can't see him doing that. Would much rather of seen the battle of Scotland with Taylor but you can't complain with this. It's a cracking fight
Burns is finished. We should be getting Taylor-Burns and Flanagan-Crolla really. Crolla in a comfortable points decision
I remember reading the interview where Burns discusses being broke (at the low point of his career, right after Crawford) so I know he has that incentive. But boy, dude fights anybody.
I think Burns edges him, the beatdowns against Linares in all likelihood took more out of Crolla than Indongo or Relikh took out of Ricky.
That would have been a really cool fight for both guys, I was gutted that 100 percent and in no way lied about injury came up. I'm UK based though so was being a little patriotic with my preferences.
good fight, especially considering where the careers are at. good way to keep on going an making some cash. ricky burns still has some paydays left in him. the broner fight never happened and it should have. so i think that fight is still there.
Crolla "wanted" it more despite being hopelessly outclassed against Linares, Burns apart from a few spots didn't look like he wanted to be there. You may have a point, but IF Crolla isn't too damaged he might take this on effort/desire alone despite Burns before the craftier of the two.
