crawford is going to handle this kid something vicious.

From what I've heard Crawford has sublime skills, this looks like it for Burns. Wish he would've taken Broner on.

Burns is no loner the same fighter who beat Martinez or starched Mitchell. His decline has been so steep, I dunno what the reason behind it is. I think Crawford could possibly outbox him, noway is there a stoppage but if Burns can turn back the clock, he could handle Crawford, rough him up and beat him.

It's sad that people tend to forget the Burns who schooled Katsidis who had just gone to war with JMM, starched Mitchell who was then still a very good lightweight and beat Martinez who was just considered one of Mikey Garcias best opponents.

I don't like burns but I think he might beat Crawford for the simple fact that Crawford has brittle hands

Im sure it doesnt mean spit on theae boards but I'm glad to see somebody from O.NE get some shine and share the spotlight with the city.. Omaha has a history for their talented and skilled professionals to move away and claim another city. Lets go Crawford! Keep rep'n and Bring It Home!

Correction - Gary Russel Jr. has the brittle hands not Crawford. - Crawford will seriously hurt burns - there is a reason why Broner high tailed it out of the 135 division! Crawford makes very good adjustments, has good power / defense / foot work / and speed ! He is the goods, used to be Timothy Bradley's sparring partner - Very good fighter !!
