That'd be amazing if it did though. Kind of in doubt because Ricky is already going to fight Beltran I think and they're already looking at this? I hope it happens Burns was slated to fight in September (v Beltran) then December but I guess the December fight is now January.

There always seems to be a guy that comes along that I just don't like for some reason n Crawford is the new guy. Lol

Having a hard time believing this will happen after the Broner debacle. So I won't get my hopes up. That'd be amazing if it did though. Kind of in doubt because Ricky is already going to fight Beltran I think and they're already looking at this? I hope it happens

Is Burns going to take a tune up first? January seems a bit far away and Burns certainly did himself no favors getting ready for a guy like Crawford in his last fight. He could use one Burns fights Beltran in September. i doubt this fight happens? Why? Because crawford is a technical fighter that has a good chance to win and ricky burns does not fight those fighters. Just ask broner and vasquez. Burns signed a contract to fight Vasquez, the latter pulled out. Checo is also a technical fighter, Burns fought him and won the bout.

http://www.livefight.com/news.php?news_id=2967&y=2013&m=06 “HBO want Ricky to fight Terence Crawford in January in New York,” he revealed. “Crawford will end up becoming mandatory for the title and we’ll go to America if the package is right but we’re quite happy to fight in Scotland. “But first we’ve got Beltran who Ricky should stop. It’s a fight that’s been well received in America.” Ricky won't stop Beltran. Beltran has been in the ring wig bigger punchers then Ricky.

I like Burns a lot, but that being said I wouldn't mind at all if Crawford inherited the division from him. Good fight, I'd favour Crawford based upon what the long, slick Gonzalez was able to do to Burns before going mental midget.

Hmm depending when in January I might make this event if it comes thru... Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

There is something about Crawford I really like. His whole Demeanor seems very professional. There is something very focused about him, even between rounds and taking instructions. He can fight too, the kid is only going to get better. He has that quiet confidence, kinda like GGG.

Burns stop Beltran? GTFO... Don't be surprised if its the other way around. Even tho Burns should win. After watching Burns get whooped and hurt by the PR Crawford beats Burns. Possibly stops him. I still like Burns tho. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Crawford beats burns wide ud.

Love this fight.

Crawford UD

Thanks for the link. Most interesting thing Hearn said is that Kessler III and Ward probably won't happen this year. He re-tweeted this earlier so I guess Groves is in the box seat: Next fights for @Carl_Froch @StGeorgeGroves - UK @jcchavezjr1 - Vegas @gggboxing - NYC @andreward - Vegas or UK @EddieHearn - job done! Retweeted by Eddie Hearn On Crawford-Burns, I've only watched TC once but he looks like the kind of slick fighter who could give Burns problems. I wonder if Hearn is still interested in the Malignaggi fight for Brook now that PM has lost his title. I guess he is since this article is recent. I can see Paulie taking that fight.
