http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKq-oy9x_gA why is it people seem to forget about this? Kevin SCHOOLED a much hungrier Prescott than Crawford, but Crawfords win tips him at certain world level, yet Mitchell is euro level at best? It's always one rule for the Yanks and another rule for the fighters this side of the pond I remember turbotime saying on CHB that "Prescott could beat anyone Burns has beaten" before someone reminded him that Mitchell schooled Prescott
Im not gonna debate this fight its kinda like Stevenson vs Bellew, Crawford is just a level above in everyway, forget who theyve beat and what theyve done Crawford will beat him hes legit
Mate ahm Scottish and a BIG supporter of Ricky, but a "fluke jaw punch" lol, how you reckon that!? The whole point of boxing is to punch the head and body? So a punch to the jaw is a fluke, a bit like scoring a penalty at football!!? Come on mate , Ricky well incredibly fortunate to escape with a draw, he was well beaten, ahm sure most of his fans know that. As for Crawford , this is an easier fight and one he should win
Oh dear, can we still consider this a Brit forum when there are so many idiots here whom have been deceived by the yankee hype machine? :-( So much rubbish there. It was a fluke punch because scummy yanks don't have skills and rely on hype, dope, dirty fighting and bribed officials. Without those the Mexican-yank tellingly failed to earn the win against a severely injured opponent and the scum was lucky to get the draw as I soundly had Ricky up by 1 point but I'm sensible unlike the whingeing yank and blinkered sympathisers. As for this 'Crawford' yank, Ricky will easily smash the hypejob and then take Vasquez and Abril's belts, FACT :bbb
Half the guys bigging up Crawford have never even seen him fight. They're just following the hype. He looks good but he hasn't fought anybody. This is Crawfords hardest fight by a mile. I'm not sure if it's Ricky's.
You had him winning the fight?? Aye right mate. He lost fair and square. He will beat Crawford though.
So to be a Brit forum I have to agree that a Brit won, even though he didn't? Ahm sure if you asked Ricky he would admit he was rather fortunate to get a draw. You keep on saying it was a flukey lucky punch, by that all punches must be flukey lucky punches then??! He got caught a great punch, nothing lucky about it, if Ricky had been a little better in the day and moved his head or had his hands up it wouldn't have happened. I know ricky well and have a lot of time for him, so I ain't biased towards "the yank" as you put it.
Burns got lucky against Beltran he knows it so does his trainer,manager & promoter. I see him having a real good chance against Crawford a pick 'em fight for me the one being tested on the night is the challenger he has it all to prove.I think Burns will win on points outhustling Crawford.
Lost? The draw was fair and stands on both records. And of course he'll beat this new hypejob, that's obvious, you muppet. That bit was aimed at anyone who doesn't see this yank as the talentless, skill-less, hypejob he really is. Punches thrown by yanks rely on dope, dirty tactics and luck, this is fact. Ricky will be better prepared this next time. Sure you aren't, ya thick twat.
That only makes sense if you sympathise with the whingeing yank. Any sane score had it close, the draw was fair. What will be proved is that Ricky is far better than these doped-up hypejob yanks.
Can you give it a rest with the shite patter you're embaressing the real Burns fans with your rubbish.
Saying it & knowing it are two different things :good The crowd knew it & it doesn't really matter what is said in public boxing wise especially. Rarely would someone say they lost Woodhall was one of the only ones that admitted getting lucky against Catley as he talked about again recently.For a boxer to say it rare for the team behind them never. Burns is one tough cookie a lot of fighters would have been stopped in the situation he was in did well to hear the final bell.For win or draw the fight you only have to see his reaction & his team....relief tells it's own story!
Totally right bud, he doesn't like anyone who has an opinion, unless it agrees with him. Acts like a 16 year old.
