    Granted in his last couple he hasn't boxed his best! And I do think he lost his last fight. BUT if he boxes to his best then I think he can win

    The draw was fine. Actually I soundly had Ricky up by 1 point but I'm not a classless moron so I can accept the decision, unlike the whinging Mexican-yank who pathetically failed to earn the win against a severely injured opponent :lol: The scum was lucky to get the draw.

    As for Crawford, Ricky will expose this hypejob and send him crying back to yankeeville :happy

    Very good point, and something he seems to have picked up since the Mitchell fight.
    Maybe Billy can put us in the picture, is it planned or just a case of Ricky not following orders/gameplan in the ring ?

    I also stated this before the beltran fight, ricky I think is a match for anyone in the division if he sticks to a game plan like he did against Martinez. It a great point since stopping Mitchell burns has become a little careless and wild. Back to basics and he beats Crawford.

    Agree he is a beter fighter when sticks to the game plan and doesn't do a khan and get drawn into wars, didn't like the chest banging he done against Mitchell at one point but it ended well for him that night. Keep him on track billy!

    Sooner that I thought! Crawford and Keith Thurman are the best up and coming Americans

    It's just said on BBC Scotland that the fight is in New York?

    I think it was only bad BBC journalism, fairly certain the presenters autocue read "Burns will be fighting in NY" and presenter misinterpreted "NY" as New York instead of new year.

    the more I watch crawfords fights the more I favour ricky, he is skilled but has no power, ricky's work rate will be the key to victory. I think I could of put up a better fight than crawfords last opponent he was terrible lol. with the Scottish crowd behind him burns will deliver the goods.

    Interesting. :think

    Yet Ricky expressed his surprise in the post-fight presser that Crawford switched between southpaw and orthodox. Interesting. :think

    Grade - F. :patsch I suggest you and Billy start studying together. :lol:

    Oops. :nut

    Hmm, tell me more... :think
