    Probably.
    I actually slightly favor Burns over him after what I've seen last night.

    I'm worried he completely ****ed his hands on Arakawa's head. Still fancy him to beat 'ol paper skin in his mandatory

    I don't see much in him, Crawford, Vasquez and Abril will handle him easily.

    Burns would beat him IMO always said he should be the next target he's not slick like the other champions he likes to walk forward which suits Burns.

    Not sure burns would beat him but out of the champions, his style suits burns the most.

    Yeah it depends what Burns shows up on the night if he drew Figueroa onto his shots and was throwing shots at Omar then he would frustrate him but going on the Crawford performance Burns didn't look to be throwing a lot.
