Have you actually seen him fight? I would agree that Burns has the pedigree/quality of opponent/experience advantage, but it is clear that Crawford represents a real threat to his title. If a Burns win is such a dead cert then why are you so hot and bothered? Rooting for Ricky, but would not be surprised if he loses on Saturday.
YES IVE SEEN HIM FIGHT,AND ALSO SEEN WHO HE WAS FIGHTING!BOB ARUMS SENDING HIM OVER AS IF ITS JST ANOTHER WALK IN THE PARK,THE GUYS GOIN BACK TO OMAHA WITH A BROKEN HEART AND 2 BLACKEYES :good
Thought he looked very good, though he seems a lot better orthodox. He was very smart in there and after the 3/4th round he had figured Ricky out and won every round.
He is better orthodox, but that was strategy and it worked brilliantly. Throwing an unexpected southpaw look at Burns completely did his ****ing head in and left him too confused from the start to ever regain his composure. Twas a calculated risk, however, as even guys who regularly box southpaw (let alone dabblers) are in perennial danger from the 1-2, and Crawford got hit with a good many in the first 2-3 rounds with mean intentions from Burns.
Wow, can't even give an opinion on here without being called a negative ******* or jealous. Well it looks like he was right and you were wrong. :hi:
