Comments Thread For: Hearn: Crawford is a Much Tougher Fight Than Beltran

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Ricky Burns' press conference in Glasgow to promote his forthcoming WBO Lightweight title fight against Terence Crawford was held by Matchroom's Eddie Hearn. It was the promotion of Burns' return to the ring for the first time since September when he earned a highly-disputed draw with Ray Beltran, albeit the 30-year-old Scot fought with a broken jaw sustained in round two.

Hearn is spot on. Fighters ARE special people.

Yes, Crawford is.

Burns will need another hometown decision to keep that belt.

would anyone be suprised if ricky burns pulls out of this fight last minute, the biitchassness coming from that side of the pond recently has been unreal

[US Dirk Killer]

Crawford is going to KO Burns

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Crawford is the real deal... This will be his coming out party

[Hougigo]

Box smart and box with a sense of urgency. Crawford needs to understand that fighting away from home

I'm a Brit and I kinda get your angle but Burns is like Barker can't see him doing it out of spite or *****yness. What happened last time wasn't Ricky's fault. I'm surprised he is back so soon though. I could see him pull out if he doesn't feel ready...

Crawford is one of the up and coming fighters who has a complete arsenal. Very well rounded set of skills, Burns shouldn't be much of a problem, It's the judges he has to worry about.
