    Say that again, he got beat more convincingly against Beltran than what he did last night. He got the **** punched out of him against Beltran, knocked down and nearly banged out in some rounds.

    I admit he was beaten by Beltran but I had it a lot closer than I had last night against beltran I scored it 115-113 and last night I scored it 116-112 so Crawford was more impressive last night.

    Don't know how I scored them, I just know Burns didn't win neither. Beltran beat the living **** out of Burns though.

    Here's a recap... it was a devastating beat down for the majority of the fight. Crawford boxed well but he didn't beat Burns down like Beltran did.

    He was OK, never seen the all time great that everybody else seen though, always thought the Ingle defense would let him down at 'real' world level which it did.

    Powerful though for a featherweight, but because he was a short ass he was always going to struggle moving up the weights when you think just a weight division above you had the likes of Mayweather and Corrales who were much bigger than Naz.

    Was a **** card. Mismatches again but come to expect that from Matchhroom. What I don't understand is how the BBBoC sanction some of them.

    Yeah mate it was a bad card. The thing about it was it never even looked good on paper.

    Hearn brought up Olympic medalist's Anthony Joshua and Anthony Oggogo which added a bit to the bill, but they were in mismatches. Joshua's opponent was a no hoper who never threw a punch. Oggogo (a top amateur) was in with a five fight novice which turned into a sparring session. They wouldn't have learned anything from these type of fights.

    David Brophy was on the bill and him and Oggogo would have been a good fight, but instead Brophy was matched with Jamie Ambler. No disrespect to Ambler he is a good journeymen, but Oggogo and Brophy would have went down a treat for the fans and win, lose or draw both would have learned so much from the fight.
    These are the type of fights that should be happening and the so-called 50/50 fights Hearn keeps talking about, but never delivers.

    The chief support was ridiculous and summed up the undercard IMO.
    Like a few other poster's said the atmosphere was starting to take off at times, but then another mismatch came on and killed the atmosphere completely.
    Everybody in the Arena was bored out of their skull waiting to see the main-event, but Hearn knew it would sell out, so he didn't bother his arse with the undercard as usual.

    It was a **** card and i say that as a neutral i am neither Scottish or British. Simpson fight was a joke basically guys about 2 weight classes apart, Joshua was always going to be in a mismatch (forgive me but just because he is a big name or prospect doesn't mean the bill doesn't need competitive fights aswell) Ogogo **** fight, Brophy one sided ect. Basically their was one quality fight on the card Crawford vs Burns, That doesn't cut it for a world title card, Hearn is a tight arse, his domestic cards are actually very good but whenever there is a big fight as main event he doesn't bother with an undercard when frankly they should be as good as the domestic cards if not better.
