Comments Thread For: Burns' Trainer Wants Activity, Jab Use On Crawford

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Billy Nelson, trainer of WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns (36-2-1, 11 KOs), wants his fighter to be "extra busy" against mandatory challenger Terrence Crawford (22-0, 16KOs). The fight is scheduled for March 1 at the Scottish Exhibition Centre in Glasgow, Scotland. Burns is returning from a controversial twelve round draw with Raymundo Beltran last September, where the Scottish fighter had his jaw badly broken.

Let's see how Burns reacts when Crawford takes that jab away.

Burns has one of the best jabs in boxing. No one is going to outwork him either. I initially thought Burns was going to win on points, but I've seen him in the gym and I can't see Crawford coping with the pace and lasting the distance.

For real? I would give burns his props if he can do that but he's stepping in there with an elite, world class fighter. One that won't quit on him either.

too bad

Goodnight Mr. Burns. You are a true warrior, no doubt at all, however, Bud will counter your slow jab with right hook or straight left and good night. 2 rounds tops.
