    Its a tough call, im going to back Ricky mainly because of the value and him being the home fighter its a really 50/50 this one.

    Crawford is so much better than Burns that literally the only way Burns can win is by robbery decision, as we saw with Beltran.

    Crawford hits quite hard when he wants to as well so I think Burns might even get taken out here.

    I think 9/4 is good value and will be backing the Rickster

    Martinez and Katsidis are proven punchers, and neither were able to shift Burns.
    As i keep saying, there are lots of unanswered questions about Crawfprd, so maybe he'll answer those come Saturday.
    I cannot make a confident prediction, as i've not seen enough of Crawford, and his level of opposition has been pretty mediocre to be fair.
    One thing is certain though, if Burns does the business he'll get no credit as Crawford will then become yet another unproven hypejob.

    Get on betfair and make sure you back burns. It's me on the other side of the bet.

    Mug money - I love it.

    I would go the other way personally i.e. take it to Crawford and see how he handles the pressure.

    no. I suppose there is a comparison between this fight and jim watt's defence against howard davis back in 1980, but for me Crawford beats him hands down, he's got too much skills and speed, and ricky doesn't have the power to hurt him.
