    Bit of an overstatement don't you think? He can't be more than 2-1. Coupled with fighting in hostile territory and his lack of elite opponents, he can't be that big of a favorite and it would mean something if he won.

      I don't know many if anyone picking Burns in terms of on here. The bookies odds might be slanted depending where you look. Crawford is supposed to win. It would mean he did what he was supposed to.

        He should be asking, 'What can the judges and ref do?' He'll be in for a rude awakening when he hears the scores if it goes the distance. Maybe getting robbed would make him fight a little more aggressively.

          Doing what you are supposed to do impressively can make a statement. Granted with Crawford, that could be asking too much.

            Overstatement? I read boxing forums daily, and I have yet to come across anyone who is picking Burns to win.

                I got a feeling Burns will shock everyone...

                It might be blind hope though lol

                  To be honest, he comes across as boring and a little slow in his interviews.

                    Maybe I'm underrating Crawford, but I could see him getting psyched out and losing this.
