Comments Thread For: Burns' Trainer: Crawford Won't Be in His Comfort Zone

[Corelone]

Its evident that you have not watched much of Crawford to dismiss him. Dude is the goods - he has very good defense, good rythm, head movement, and he can punch almost forgot good punch placement - do your homework, burns was good but he has hit his ceiling, watch the crawford vs prescott fight and tell me what Burns can do with crawford .. Burns should have stepped his competition up a couple of years ago - too many domestic level fights - crawford is a good fighter.

Crawford just isn't aggressive enough, he waits too much. If Crawford beats on Burns, but not enough to stop him, Burns will get the Scotch rules home town decision. Burns may be able to out run, river dance, and get points for standing up to punishment while dragging himself to the final bell. Crawford is good, but it might take a little more than that.

For those suggesting that the scoring might be an issue here - in light of the reaction to the Beltran decision, do any of you think there could be an effort to 'get this one right' - thus leveling the playing field for someone of the style of Crawford?

Of course hometown decisions will always be around, I only ask because this is the very next fight
