Ricky Burns vs. Julius Indongo & Scott Cardle vs. Robbie Barrett RBR.

Also, @Serge would likely have been pleased by Indongo's improved CCA compared to the Troyanovski fight.

 

Awkwardness can be a tougher nut to crack, than good technique for a good boxer, Ask Vernon Forrest. He schooled Shane Mosely twice, but had trouble adapting to Mayorga's awkward, wild style in their first fight. He ended up getting stopped.

 

I wish we could ask Vernon forrest.

 

RIP to the Viper.

 

Mosley should never have fought at 154 he was just too small for the weight, most of his losses came from above 147.

 

Are you gonna give him credit and stop calling stupid names if/when he decisively beats Diaz?

 

Indongo seems limited. He does have stamina and reach. The reach was what troubled Burns the most by far. Crawford beats him easily.

 

He fought Forrest at 147

 

Crawford would knock Broner and Imam out. Imam has no defense and a weak chin.

I actually hope Crawford fights Imam next just so people will finally see that Imam isn't that good.

 

Sure. He will have FINALLY fought and beat a very good, possibly A level fighter who he won't have a massive size or skills advantage over.

As for the nicknames.....probably not. Crawdaddy/Crawfish is not a diss, just a nickname, similar to how I call Jermall Charlo, Mallow, and Jermell Charlo, Mellow and Canelo, YELLOW, or Ol Yeller(though that one is actually a DISS.)

 

The only way Crawford was ever behind to Burns was because of the judging in Scotland. Crawford beat him, at minimum 10 out of 12 rounds and that was when Burns was not a shot fighter like he is today. Anyone with ANY foot speed looks good against Burns and he doesn't hit hard enough to break an egg. Crawford is far more skilled and much quicker than Burns.

 

I was there on Saturday.
Even being bias towards Ricky i would struggle to make a decent case for him to win a round.
He was outclassed the whole fight by a far superior fighter, and Indongo didn't by any means look World Class.

On a side note Cardle was awful to watch imo. Reached his level.
