Terrence Crawford Got No Love In Orlando

Yeah he's not an "unaggressive" (If that's a word) kind of fighter but I wouldn't class him as aggressive. He's a boxer first and foremost, with a high guard and boxs behind a techinal jab. He's not going to go at Crawford and throw a load of punches when he get's caught everytime like when he fought the Columbian (I forget his name). I think the chances of it being boring are extremely high. It would be a tactical fight and neither punch overly hard. That is pretty much it, although you do never know. Usually though in a contest of boxers one will be better then the other one is essentially SOL with the guy that is losing only realizing that much too late to really do anything about it, if they even can because sometimes guys can just never get out of their box.

At his best Burns is aggressive for a boxer, he isn't one of those cagey boxer/counter punchers that you see so often as he is constantly trying to land the jab with real authority. At his worst, like against Beltran, he is overly aggressive, leading with body shots with his chin flying high in the air. I just think that if Crawford is more inclined to be aggressive than people are giving him credit for then it could be a pretty exciting fight, especially if Burns keeps missing. If Crawford really is so settled in his ways of being overly cautious then it will be a snoozer. I'm optimistic for the former.

He's a good young fighter but he should have gotten that guy outta there. He had him completely ovrrmatched yet he fought at a slow, steady pace even though there was literally no danger. He has a lot to learn. End Thread here :wave:

Crawford vs Burns will be slow paced. Crawford is awkward and can switch hit. Burns will be off balance and hesitant to throw. If there is going to be any action it will have to come from TC. i dont mind if its slow paced. but if hes gonna box, crawford has to box his ass off. he has to be reasoning well in the ring, setting traps, effective counters, proper foot work. im not expecting to see adrien broner or mikey garcia in there. i can settle for rigondeaux/,moreno. but if thats what hes gonna do then he needs to do it right. cuz that **** he pulled saturday wont cut it.

No I was referring to Burns. He's not really an overly aggressive fighter, he's more of a boxer. No way Crawford forces the fight, Burns will end up being the guy who's forcing but he's going to miss and not be overly aggressive. Has dull written all over it. But you never know.

But you never know. if crawford doesnt force that fight and look specatular, hes pretty much writing his ticket to undercard tv. he'll be one of those many fighters talked about as being really good but never getting any coverage. the casamayors, the morenos, etc. and it'll totally be his fault unlike those other guys. hes got his shot. if he doesnt make it count its on him If the fight happens overseas and is not televised by HBO he might be able to get away with it. Cause how many Americans will actually be watching besides us on a stream? Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

I take it you mean Crawford? I think he fights well within himself and that in a big fight for the title against an aggressive boxer like Burns, who also makes a lot of mistakes, that he'll show a lot more aggression. I'm sure he will always display a more methodical style, more of a bit by bit breakdown than a crash wallop aggression, but I think Crawford will really be going through the gears against Burns.

Why do you think he'll be aggressive? He's not really an aggressive fighter. I take it you mean Crawford?

High chance of that being a snoozer aswell. Likely. But a different kind of slow pace. Burns is a lot more skilled than Klimov and I don't mind a good chess match. It would be a lot better than waiting to counter a guy that doesn't want to be in the ring which was the case on Saturday.

If you can win without risk whatever, not like anyone will remember this fight if he does better in bigger fights which he probably will (as long as he fights a bit more obliging opposition). Not everyone is aggressive as long as a guy is winning things will be alright for the most part. He was winning every minute of the fight, that is still the object of the game.

Burns will be aggressive even if he is hitting air all night, the opportunities will be there for Crawford to lay it all out properly. I might be wrong but I think Crawford will be more exciting in the bigger fights. Why do you think he'll be aggressive? He's not really an aggressive fighter.

He is if he's fighting a guy who's not aggressive. Burns is going to hit air all night and we all knock Crawford's not going out of his way to stop Burns. Burns will be aggressive even if he is hitting air all night, the opportunities will be there for Crawford to lay it all out properly. I might be wrong but I think Crawford will be more exciting in the bigger fights.

Burns is rarely in snoozers and I think Crawford might bring it properly in that fight. The fight might not even happen if the Burns-Beltran rematch happens.

Your not going to be in an exciting fight everytime out,,,,, I still think that crawford is a future p4p guy and would favor him at lightweight over everyone but vasquez and that would be a 50/50 fight IMO, just for the fact that vasquez has a horrible style for anyone to figure out

High chance of that being a snoozer aswell. Burns is rarely in snoozers and I think Crawford might bring it properly in that fight. The fight might not even happen if the Burns-Beltran rematch happens.

This is really all that needs to be said. He'll have another opportunity against Ricky Burns to rise to the occasion. High chance of that being a snoozer aswell.

RL dont know sht about baxin

Fuk the crowd, you don't fight a stupid fight for them. It's not Crawfords style to go in there and bang. If you want to blame someone, blame the promoters for matching these two bad styles against each other. Anyone could see it was going to be a snoozer from the beginning.
