Crawford is going to give Burns one of those down South Mississippi ass whoopings

[Galaxy]

Is Crawford that good that he can beat a fit Ricky Burns?

I think so...

Yup..crawford is that good.. better than gamboa and boner combined.

Burns is going to get torn out the frame, its gonna be floyd-gatti all over again.

I was thinking more Mayweather/ Baldomir

That could be the case if crawford decides to play it safe again.. but he strikes me as the type who fights down to the level and the style of its opposition.. he fights accordingly..

When he faced prescott, he played it real safe cuz that was his first big step up and he fought on few days notice... understandable... but prior to that fight and after, theres been fights where he looked exceptional offensively...

He failed to step on the gas in his last fight too but given that he's heading into his first titleshot and knowing he has to impress, I think he will let his hands go.. on top of that, him and his trainer should know how weak of a boxer burns is and his wide open defense..

It could go either way imo.. he schools burns or destroys him..

Floyd's situation with baldomir was a bit different.. he wasnt a full fledged WW at the time and was going up against a stronger WW in baldo.. he wasnt accustomed to the weight yet and had to play it safe..

You could be right though.. we will see

I was meaning how the fight would play out, we may get a very similar type fight. The Sanabria fight was just a showcase imo

I think Crawford is the real deal with very sharp hands. Burns is a nice guy, but I got Crawford wide.

I agree, real high on Crawford. Didn't he beat Mikey Garcia as an amateur? Would love to see them meet in the near future!

I really don't know. He spilt with Danny from what I gather but to be honest I tend to fog over when it comes to ama's. Totally agreed, he and Mikey style wise would be a sharpshooters dream. Crawford cannot lay back and paint by numbers like he did last out...he was in total control but Garcia ripping to the body is something you cannot encourage. Hopefully the roads will collide!

I didn't like Crawfords last fight, thought he was pretty lazy, but he is very well schooled and talented. He looks like the type of fighter who will respond to what is in front of him, I think Burns would have to press the action and get torn up in the process.

I need to watch me some Crawford, I like Thurman and the way you are describing him, he could be better.

Should this take place I'll ride with Ricky the over achiever. I'm not sold on Crawford. He's ok fundamentally but his activity and wait and see approach does not warrant suggesting he's going to "put on a clinic"

Its also not a forgone conclusion that Arum wins a purse bid.

If your getting beat by Beltran & Gonzalez then Crawford is going to be a nightmare

That logic does not really work in boxing. If it did nobody would have to fight.
