I like how the judges gave every round that wasn't pathetically one-sided to Burns. At least the right guy won.

Crawford did well today. The only complaint I have is that the pace and intensity he started the 12th round is how he should have maintained for the entire round, and he should have stepped on the gas around the 8, 9th round instead of the 12th. But overall good showing. And I agree with Watts, he definitely caught Burns at the right time.

TC did what everybody asks American fighters to do. Go overseas and beat the champion on his own turf. Great win.

Personally thought Burns took it, but meh...

Damn what drug were you smoking? Crawford CLEARLY won that fight!

i'm a burns fan but struggled to give him any rounds....... never troubled crawford and whenever he landed tc came back at him. burns best days are behind him but still a classy guy with great heart!

This sounds crazy, but I swear to God, he looked like Marvin Hagler in there.

LOOKED like. Not as good as Marvin.

Used his gloves to blind Burns to push him back, and blast away on the inside. Smooth boxing on the outside. Seamlessly transitioned from southpaw to orthodox.

Impressive as hell on the inside. Just lacks that KO power.

Personally thought Burns took it, but meh...

Burns won 3 rounds at the most

Crawford put on a great performance!!! Showed great defense when burns was holding and trying to hit won 10 out of 12 rounds on my score card.
