People gave crawford credit for beating burns and even said he did it in his hometown. Well Crolla the F fighter won a ud against one of crawford's best wins. Lomachenko destroys crolla and all of a sudden everyone forgets crolla was a world class former champion. The double standards and fan boyism on these forums is sickening.

To be fair Crolla's fight with Burns was a lot closer than the scorecards would have you believe.
Both Crolla and Burns are good fighters, they were just out of their depth against great fighters like Crawford and Loma. No shame in that, people who try to claim Burns and Crolla are bums clearly dont have a clue
That kind of logic sux. Idongo also beat Burns in clear UD and Crawford KO him in 3...
That wasn't my point. My point was clorra is a much better fighter than people make him out to be. Also burns fought indongo at a higher weight class.
Burns of 2014 was better than Crolla of 2019. That's the problem when just looking at a resume or a fight at a different time. Sometimes it doesn't work like that for example was Cotto's win over Mosley better than Trinidad's over Vargas? Not remotely.
Crolla probably would be better than Benavidez, Molina, Lundy, Jean, those level of wins. He's probably been a better fighter than Indongo but Indongo had unified two titles and had a more dominant win over the same Burns (as Crolla).
Your more than entitled to your opinion, as we all are, but where i was sat it was a close fight and Burns was hard done by on the cards.
You should know yourself seeing it in person is much different than watching it on television. For example, when I saw Lomachenko vs Linares live, it looked to me that Lomachenko was dominating the fight. Que my surprise when I heard the scorecards/people's scores.
Not at all.
Gonzalez was putting a beating on Ricky, then something had a word with his team and offered them a deal to pull him out.
Everyone knows it and nobody talks about it.
I don't know it!
What i know is that Gonzalez threw everything he had at Ricky and Ricky kept coming, landed a brutal shot to the body in round 8 and took what was left of his heart in round 9, Gonzalez quit on his stool when the going got tough............Victor Ortiz style!!!!!
... Crolla did a UD on one of Crawford's best wins in Ricky burns...

Beltran broke Burns' jaw on Oct 2013... Burns came back on March 2014, vs Crawford...
Crolla fought Burns after Zlaticanin, Figueroa Jr, and Indongo beat him...
F**k me bro your deluded as hell!!!!!
Burns took Gonzelez's heart that night, again, it might just have been from where i was sitting though :rofl:
I agree Gonzalez controlled the fight right up until the 8th round then Ricky took over in 8 and 9 and Gonzalez lost his balls and didn't come out for the tenth.
Get your facts right about fights before posting absolute nonsense about them!!!

It is one of his better wins, which shows you how weak Crawford's resume is. The thing is that Burns shouldn't have even been the champ because he got a gift v Beltran in the previous fight.
Burns was also getting whooped by Jose Gonzalez in the fight before the Beltran fight until Gonzalez got pulled out of the fight for no apparent reason. There's still something fishy about that. He was in control of the fight quite easy and beating Burns up, then quits in his corner. I always felt someone got paid off or something.

Well then i don't know where you were sat, but it must've been a seat facing the other way.
Good comeback :rofl:
The fighters themselves acknowledged after the fight that it was close and Crolla even agreed to go to Glasgow for a rematch then shat his pants.
Crawford won the fight but he lost a few rounds. No bias thats just what happened, he caused crawford problems, i watched it live.
You literally said Crawford struggled in that fight. There was no struggle. Don't try to change it now bro. Burns was whooped. Your bias is showing

Yeah, it wasn't a total shut out. Burns had his moments and picked up a few rounds, despite it being a clear win for Crawford.
I've never seen anyone mention Burns as one of Crawford's best wins. I think people we're surprised Crawford got a decision win in the UK because that's not always the case for Americans fighting over there.

Not his best win but best performance in my opinion
Your more than entitled to your opinion, as we all are, but where i was sat it was a close fight and Burns was hard done by on the cards.

Thing is crawford struggled with burns aswell. Cant remember exactly but think it was around 116-112 on the cards.
116-112 is struggling to you? :lol1: I swear some of you guys need to pick another sport. Your bias against certain fighters is sad. Crawford whooped Burns. Maybe you should watch the fight
You must be the only person that scored it a draw.
It was a pretty boring fight but Crolla CLEARLY beat Burns on points.

The scorecards didn't reflect the fight bro, Crawford schooled the **** out of Burns.
I was full of hope at the weigh in, Crawford looked spooked as hell but he dominated Burns in every way on fight night!
