Crawfords a card aint he ;D
Odd post fight. I was fully expecting some kind of 'Im injured, my hearts not in it any more' speech. Didn't happen but what went on in the ring suggested he didn't fancy it at all.

The US stream cut away before post fight. That is shit. Give us at least the interviews
Wasn't what I was expecting :confused: both guys very humble. Crawford seemed very sedate :-\ but was great not to see any bullsh-t thug persona's ;DQuote:

Burns is finished at world level for me, ain't got it in him anymore and was totally outclassed, didn't wanna mix it in the exchanges and Crawford looks a good fighte.
Was impressed with Joshuas handspeed earlier!!
Appreciate the updateQuote:

I diasgree about him being finished at world level. Vazquez and Abril arent really anything special and Vazquez in particular would be a 50-50 fight.Quote:

Still dont buy the Crawford hype. He is lazy in spurts and his classy looking combos aint as accurate as Sky was making them out to be.
After 1 defense Bob will mention him as a viable Pacquiao opponent.

Lets see Burns rematch Beltran first ;)
He'll lose if he does and he'll lose again against Crawford.
He just seems to be getting worse every fight, for me the wheels still turning but the hamsters knackered;D
Again i disagree. He was never world class, juat pretty good. He's looked worse because his opposition has gotten better. On the plus side Crawford is the best he's fought and for me he looked better tonight than he did in his previous 2.Quote:

Didn't he just lose his world title?;D
The speed in which people get written off these days never ceases to amaze me.
Please understand that im not writing Ricky off. I just always felt he overachieved. He's a good fighter but I always felt he wasn't a world class fighter, just pretty good.Quote:

There's 80+ "world" champions plus dozens of former "world" champions and challengers.
Burns is a proven world-class lightweight. He's not an elite fighter like Mayweather or Ward or Martinez etc, but neither are the vast majority of "world-class" fighters out there.
Exactly. Burns was never elite.. he always just got by barely..Quote:
