Both fighters look in great shape, Billy with the cut throat gesture Crawford looked a bit more lively today going to be a good one !!
Billy did a cut throat gesture? If that is the case then previously a fighter did that to Ricky and Billy was slagging them off saying there is no need for that in boxing
The cut throat gesture is crude and unsportsman like behaviour. I think deep down, Billy knows his man is going to lose this fight so he's trying to do what ever it takes to give Ricky any type of confidence or psychological edge. Crawford to win a wide UD (117-111) or if he really steps it up a TKO win any round from the 7th onwards.
To be honest it was a lad in crawfords camp mouthing off ricky and Crawford was mouthing off ricky so I think that's why he did it, not saying it is acceptable though by the way.
Billy Nelson I think you take some stick on this site but today if you did the cut throat gesture everything is warranted. That is very low class and disgusting. As we all know you want Ricky to win as do I. But doing the cut throat gesture is saying something sinister. I hope that is highlighted and you apologise for your actions.
If anyone thinks Crawford will win a wide UD they are kidding themselves. He'll have to outbox Ricky to the point of making him look like an amateur and even then would only win by a point or two.
Also, what a bunch of ****ing women you are crying about a cut throat gesture. Man up. Clearly just stroking his chins... [url]http://i60.tinypic.com/2m2ba5y.jpg[/url]
What kind of puss.y gets upset over a little cuthroat gesture, this is boxing, go and watch tennis if something that minor upsets you. Noone wants anyone else dead its just mind games. Bet you all lapped it up when Hatton did it to Mayweather Any weigh in footage?
I have no problem with a boxer doing it especially with the adrenline and tension running through them at a weigh-in, i don't even have a problem with a boxers flunkie doing it but i'd like to think Boxing trainers have a little more dignity then to use such a gesture. Not the worst crime ever though and i'm sure Billy just got caught up in the moment and probably regrets doing it now.
