    I think Burns is some what underrated. He's a good fighter that everybody assumes will always lose when matched against a good fighter. Burns seems to find a way to win because he is a good fighter himself. He just doesn't get for being one like he should. I think him against Crawford is a good matchup. I can see it going either way.

    i see it differently with burns. i feel like he isnt that great but is an overachiever. i think that crawford will win the fight fairly easily although i wouldnt be completely shocked if burns won.

    What are you shooting on about? Since he won his world title he has been a big fav in all his defences. The fact he has performed so poorly in the latest would suggest he is very much overrated. He was 1/7 to bear the rican and 1/4 v Beltran.

    Ricky Burns is one of the biggest overachievers in boxing. When he was Commonwealth Champion I didn't think he'd go anywhere. I certainly didn't think he'd be a 2 division world champion who'd knock out Kevin Mitchell. I think it stands to reason that because of this, they have to match him carefully because he's done well, but he isn't a world class fighter by any stretch of the imagination.

    I'd expect Crawford to beat him, but people are jumping on the Crawford bandwagon and he isn't really all that IMO.

    It's a good fight, I'm not totally sold on Crawford but he should beat Burns pretty convincingly imo.

    Says the guy who has recently made threads seeking advice on what type of woman to marry, what type of booze to drink, what type of cigars to smoke, how to sleep, whether he should believe in god and who knows what else. Good stuff man, you're a laugh.

    I'm not either. Its a tough fight for Ricky but its definitely winnable. You can see the talent in Crawford but he has a low work rate imo and that's where Ricky can capitalize. The guy is totally untested and appears to be one of these lazy counter punchers. That Klimov fight almost put me into a coma. The best guy on his ledger is Prescott. A guy with a punch that could not box his way out of a doorway.

    Its troubling sometimes to me at just how much the venue means today in the sport. I hate to say it but in many instances it has actually decided the fight either by dubious officials or the traveling fighter mentally collapsing.

    Tough spot for Burns

    Give Beltran the rematch & there's high potential to lose, or fight Crawford & definitely lose
