Are the commentators calling Burns sh-t :confused: "He is nowhere near as good as I thought he'd be!" but he is winning :D
Crawford is taking it far too easy. Only reacting to Burns initial attacks. Crawford should be miles ahead, but he is not, he is keeping Burns in this fight. 7/4 Crawford. But the early rounds could lead to a 'hometown decision'.
Go thing for Burns he's up by 5 points in the cards. So he can afford to lose the 12th
Ray Beltran
Crawford finally ups it: 8-4 Crawford, that should just be enough to avoid a 'Hometown decision'. Terrence Crawford did not take it to next level, but sadly Burns probably needs to call it a day.
Crawford wins the last round easy :D
good on crawfords corner realizing that terrance couldnt coast the 12th round away from home cause honestly tha would have made a draw feasible i think, ricky just didnt work enough most rounds even when crawford was taking breathers, really it wouldnt be burns fault but if he gets this i might start hatin a bit
115-112
117-111
116-112
Crawford :D
Crawford was expecting to get robbed. Good thing he didn't.
Omaha Nebraska. And I'm from the east coast. But that's the yanks win right there
Crawford rightly gets the Unanimous Decision 2x 116-112 and 117-111.
Good call.
116-112 personally for meQuote:

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:

would give me more pleasure, than watching him fight Crawfords lovely biscuits.
Any boxer who travels to another country and takes a world title from the home fighter deserves respect.
Crawford didn't let the home crowd get to him, he kept his cool and outboxed the more experienced Burns, winning by a wide and clear margin so they couldn't give a gift decision to the home fighter.
Joshua's fight was embarrassing, that guy did not even try.

Reminds me of Lewis/Dascola.
Dascola came into the bout having recently gone 11 rounds with a fighter (Michael Dokes), who had seen better days but still was considered a contender. But when Dascola tasted a bit of Lennox's punches, he soon found a comfortable place to lay down.
