    Lol that wouldn't suprise me really but I see this definitely going to the championship rounds and Ricky taking control possibly a stoppage then

    If Ricky turns up like he did vs Mitchell and Martinez then Ricky on points, the odds for this are a joke Crawford is unproven seems like a potential Froch Bute or Calzaghe Lacey situation to me not saying it will be one sided it won't but it just has a feel to me of an international fighter going to the UK and getting exposed somewhat hopefully that will happen. One thing is certain though if Ricky turns up like his last two fights he can forget about keeping them belts he needs to be at his best. Ricky Points

    I genuinely hope Burns wins

    I think Crawford will have to KO Burns to get a result in Scotland and I do not think that will happen so Burns in possibly another debatable points win.

    Add another for Crawford points. I think he'll counter the somewhat sloppy offense of Burns for most of the night, then will coast at the end but win a closer than it should be decision.

    Hope Burns can do it, few enough British world champions, but my head says Crawford narrow points win tbh.

    I think it will be a good, close competitive fight with both fighters having there moments. I just feel Crawford will be too slick, and can't see Burns getting the nod in a close fight after the last time.

    Just hope we don't see another disgusting robbery and another night were the real winner of the fight and real fans of the sport have their faces spat in. Plenty of the knuckle dragging idiots who post on here would still be happy though.

    You'll be disappointed when the legit decision is a Burns W then. ;)

    2 out of 3 for Burns atm.
    I'm pretty sure it's the other way round if you post it in the 'general'
