Personally, i'm torn. I like Burns - he's a down-to-earth and genuinely humble guy - and hope he can pull it off, but fancy Crawford to get the win.
Who are you rooting for and why?
I am rooting for Crawford. Burns is fighting at home too much. Crawford is going to Burns' back yard to try and win his title. Itr's a big handicap to fight a Scottish world champion in Scotland. I have nothing against Burns. He is a good fighter. He is tough and game and shows up in top shape.
Crawford...I'm really impressed with his abilities and think he will rise to the top of the sport in a year or two. He has many aspects to his game including intangibles which will separate him from the pack. He wasn't a "manufactured" boxer, he came from nowhere in a little town because of how much better he was than everyone else around him. These are the types of boxers that make it to the top.
just an FYI, as an amateur, Crawford had amateur wins over Danny Garcia, Mickey Garcia, Carlos Molina and Diego Magdaleno.
I have to go with my man Burns, can't but help root for the genial Scot butt he reality is that Crawford maybe too good for him. Too quick and too smart, especially the way Burns has dropped off in his last couple fights. Having said that, if the same Burns who beat Martinez and did a number on Mitchell turns up, Crawford will be in for a long time.
I'm rooting for Crawford, nothing really against Burns, I've watched plenty of his fights. Don't always get the chance to see young US fighters go overseas like this so I'm putting on the merica hat and will root for him to not fall on his face and have it turn into a Jeff Lacy situation. Still question Burns' injured jaw, so I'm hoping Crawford's accuracy enables him to get a late round stoppage
I'm not really rooting for anyone. Despite the generous judging towards Burns I can't blame the guy, he's just the fighter.
I got Burns.................................by robbery :lol1:
