Burns to defend WBO belt against Crawford

Doesn't Burns owe a rematch to Beltran? I know Ricky wants to rematch Beltran 100%. As ever, promoters and money dictate who fights who.

Of course it will be in the UK... unless Crawford's promoter can win the purse bid. Why would anyone be surprised by that. Damn shame for Beltran though, he deserved the rematch. Hopefully Beltran gets the winner. No matter who Burns ends up fighting, he'll get criticized, unfortunately. Both are good fights.

Doesn't Burns owe a rematch to Beltran? He has offered Beltran the rematch. Apparently Beltran agreed but Top Rank rejected it cos they want Crawford to get the shot instead.

Doesn't Burns owe a rematch to Beltran?

I`m sure you want the fight the fight to take place in the UK so Crawford can get robbed if the fight goes to decision. Fans don't care where the fight takes place. The point is that the money is in the UK. Unless Top Rank make Burns a huge offer to come to America, there's no reason why he should go there.

Really think Ricky Burns is overrated in terms of boxing ability and skill. His heart leaves no room for doubt though.

It wasn't Ricky Burns doing the judging and the last thing he deserves is abuse. It's the "in" thing now Weeb... Talk down on actual fighters, disrespect those who have a different opinion, barely be able to communicate coherently in written form, openly display bigoted views without fear of reprisal from forum moderators. It's a damn free-for-all.

Inclined to agree. Unless Crawford can fill a venue like Burns does in Glasgow, don't see it happening. Besides, Burns is the champion I`m sure you want the fight the fight to take place in the UK so Crawford can get robbed if the fight goes to decision.

and Burns offered Beltran an immediate rematch and also said he is willing to fight Crawford. This somehow makes him a "loser", a "fool" and an "accomplice to criminal activity" who apparently should be detained by the authorities. Well he did lose... He's not an accomplice. Or a fool. But he doesn't deserve to be champion.

Would you rematch the guy in the same place where you were robbed once? If you go walking thru the hood and get robbed will you ever think about walking thru there again? You're fkin idiot if you do. With that said, Burns is loving his Alexander treatment isn't he? Never leave the UK and accepting gift decisions. What other gift decisions has he got? I would go if I was Beltran because he isn't getting paid anywhere else.

Would you rematch the guy in the same place where you were robbed once? Beltran wants the rematch, Top Rank do not. They want to promote Crawford as their next champion. But to answer your question, it depends on the financial offer. They fight for money. With that said, Burns is loving his Alexander treatment isn't he? Never leave the UK and accepting gift decisions. Plural? Burns didn't even get the decision, it was officially scored a draw.

To win this fight Crawford will have to bring out the banger in him again. He could stop Burns if he does. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

Now Burns is a thief and a criminal who should be arrested? I really don't think you've thought this through, either that or you're on something tonight (and I'm not talking about a beanbag).

his promoter paid the judges so yes it was his fault because he hired his promoter. burns said he won as well so he clearly has problems coping with reality. he deserves abuse and so do the judges for destroying boxing and beltran's career while this fool parades around as a champ even though he got his ass-kicked all over the ring.
