Burns to defend WBO belt against Crawford

[Hallaqsillaq]

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I know Ricky wants to rematch Beltran 100%. As ever, promoters and money dictate who fights who.
