    billy that has been coming for a long time...its no disgrace at all though to fight in that class and lose.

    Ricky will get more title shots because he is a credible opponent that wont win the belt IMO

    Using the criteria from the Beltran fight, Burns should have beat Crawford by 4 rounds.

    Shame that there isn't more Katsidis type brawlers in the upper echelons of the division. Ricky thrives against them, he can use his wide hooks and range to take advantage of their stationary style.

    He'll always struggle against top boxers. He's got a good jab but those lacks the 'wrinkles' to be cute enough, too upright and rigid.

    Crawford looks a throwback American boxer/puncher.Gonna take some beating,but it will happen sooner or later.

    Fair enough I'd never have thought you'd admit Crawford was levels above Ricky. I'd go for the Omar Figueroa fight.

    Ricky is just an average boxer. Crawford is going places. Ricky tough though

    "Your faster then him" made me laugh

    Billy, you and dave seemed resigned to defeat after the 6th round.deep down did you know it was a lost cause.and was it just a case of survival and giving the best account you could.there didnt seem any attempt to try something different.dont get me wrong any change could have proved reckless or drastic but rick didnt really go out on his shield last night and its unfair of me to expect him to after the last injury.i half expected you to pull him out.did it cross your mind?
