    Ok, I agree with ya, but I really believe we've yet to see the best of Crawford.

    Course it was...I made it up.

    Btw, fast car Eddie Hearn has said that this fight isn't happening next.

    Well it looks like this will happen next. The WBO have told Burns' promoter, Eddie Hearn, that he has until December 8 to negotiate a defence with Crawford.

    I can recall many of us predicting Katsidis to handle Burns fairly comfortably, but Ricky proved us wrong. On this occasion though, styles favour Crawford alot, tbh.

    I'm not nearly as high on Crawford as most of you are. Sure, he's pretty talented but he'll have to beat more than a couple of bums and also ran to convince me he's a special fighter. As of now, he's only a talented fighter who fights way too negatively vs overmatched fringe contenders. Still, I don't think Burns is all that either, he lost to Bertrand imo, so in a way, this fight's a good opportunity for both of them to show they can bring it to the next level.

    Ditto.


    It's probably Floyd's most unwatchable fight seeing as Hatton was determined to not let anything that could be construed as actual boxing take place in that fight.

    That was a quality fight to watch. one of the better ones of mayweather jrs fights at higher weight where he beat the fight out of an aggressive guy who came to win

    You can't knock Burns' heart and desire, but I think Crawford's intelligence will be one main factor which beats the Scot. Combine that intelligence with his physical gifts of course.

    It's not terrible if you watch it in fast forward to accurately capture the 30 seconds of action each round in between clinches.

    This fight is this weekend. I'm excited for it. I still got Crawford winning this, but I feel we may see some controversy yet again.

    Yeah, if you can still get a ticket though. I bet it's near enough sold out. The atmosphere will be incredible.

    More revisionist bullshit going on in here.

    The only one who really wanted no fighting in the Hatton vs Floyd fight, apart from Joe No Cortex, was Floyd.

    Outside of his admittedly attractive, proud and just Catlick genes, I fail to see what he can do to counter the herky-jerky skills of his foe
