Comments Thread For: Hearn: There is Already Talk of Brurns-Crawford at MSG

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Eddie Hearn is sure WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns will be back to his best against Raymundo Beltran in Glasgow on September 7.

The Coatbridge star, 30, had to battle back from a sluggish start to overcome Jose Gonzalez in nine rounds last time out, but Hearn remains confident that his new fighter can produce the goods in front of his home fans.

Hearn told Sky Sports News: "It's Ricky's second fight for us. Obviously he had a tough time last time out against Jose Gonzalez. Things were looking bleak for him after seven rounds but he turned it around and carved out a remarkable victory.

"Beltran is ranked throughout the governing bodies and is probably the toughest outside of a world champion. It's a big opportunity for Ricky to look sensational and he really wants to make a statement after a performance that he'd describe as average.

"There is talk already of Burns against a young fighter called Terence Crawford at Madison Square Garden. Crawford is an HBO fighter. But Ricky has tremendous support up here in Glasgow and I think we can make those big fights here

Surely this would be an undercard fight? Unless of course, the card is stacked with talent? Could Crawford-Burns fill MSG? I don't see it.

Maybe they are referring to the theater at MSG that has about 5,000 seats or like you said, maybe an undercard if it's at the main arena..

Very good fight but not a headliner for msg

[Weebler I]

Hearn basically said he doesn't intend to send Burns to MSG when the fight can be made in Glasgow. Crawford is Burns's mandatory.

Burns seems to have trouble with good boxers like he did against Jose I saw that fight and Jose basically gassed out. Crawford is a better boxer then Jose and has better stamina with about the same power he would be a nightmare for Burns but props to Ricky if he fights him.

Que? ..........

Crawford is a bad matchup for him. He's better off fighting Miguel Vasquez.
