    Well where you start, been following him for quite a while now, i think hes the real deal. He fights with great confidence in the ring, great footwork, underrated power, great combinations and pretty much Ricky Burns worse nightmare. I really dont think it matters where this fight takes place as Burns is getting his head boxed off.. I believe Crawford will stop Burns late..
    I really enjoy watching Crawfords fights hes very technical and fights with a aura about him.. :good

    I can accept you think terrance will win but ultimately both your last two predictions were wrong,so I hope your wrong this time.
    Ricky is defo stronger and hits harder now and is looking very sharp! Great fight sat I look forward to Ricky putting on a good tough display. And. Getting credit for a good win

    I think Crawford will dominate that division i think his time is coming but i do agree with opposition but if you cant watch a crawford fight and admire his work, then what the **** do i know about boxing. I have backed Crawford from the start i think hes the real deal and he will go through the divisions and be a great Champion..

    Massive credit to you if Ricky beats Crawford.

    On a pure match-up of their speed, power, footwork, skills etc you must know that Crawford is probably better in every department so you have to come up with a Gameplan that ultimately works to take away from Crawfords stengths and stop him from getting in his comfort zone as once he does that he'll win the fight easy.

    Anyway, it should be a very intriguing and interesting fight on saturday.

    Btw what are your thoughts on SALIDO vs LOMACHENKO? Do you think it's too early for Loma or is he just that special?

    :good

    For the record, I still think Shafikov can regroup and become a champion, and that down the line we may yet see a unification between him and Crawford, and it would be a very hard one to pick and great styles match-up...

    He's special but so wrong in respect he's skipped ahead of folk who have earned the right to be in the top 10

    Every person that spars with Ricky says his speed is great so Terrance will be in for a massive suprise come sat and I assure you Ricky is punching harder

    Well the fight is on AWE

    http://www.awetv.com/fightnight/

    You have to remember as well that HBO have got a big fight that night with the Chavez jr vs Vera and Lomachenko vs Salido card so i doubt they wanted to also fly a team to Scotland to cover Crawford.

    If Crawford wins, HBO will start hyping him up for his next fight.

    Not being showed later either and there are other stations no one took it as no knows who he is. It would be on at 5 pm here so not many other sports on. No one cares about him he is not some well known star or great fighter as some would have u think

    Well i cant believe the yanks havent giving him the hype and saturday night you will see what the fuss is about From boxing fans.
    Hey i hope im wrong and Burns wins but i dont think this will happen, the only chance Burns has is if it goes the distance and he gets jobbed like Beltran!

    Definately tough man, they generally are coming out of Russia,really good pressure fighter.. hes a real handful , Vasquez really is one for the purist great fighter who has only lost to bigger men in alvarez and bradley but what a ****ing bore off.. Shafikov is definitely more marketable he will definitely come again. :good

    People that follow boxing here in the usa know who he is and its a mixed opinion and i think we will get the answers on sat one way or other

    Is Ricky confident or aiming for a KO win?, I notice you say he is hitting harder. I think Crawford is there for the taking, no one has really pressed on him and roughed him up like Ricky will. All the best for Sat.
