    Burns didn't look right at all, he fought scared for his jaw, didn't want to open up. I don't blame him but he shouldn't be in there.

      Burns has been really poor for a while now. I get the feeling he was after a last payday before calling it a day.

        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.
        It's not crazy. Stylistically he looks like a mini Marvin Hagler. It's the way he switches stances and slips punches.

          116-112 was a bit generous for burn,he won 2 rounds for me,crawford totally dominated from start to finish....theres pretty good competition at 35 but the real fight is crawford vs vasquez.....regardless of styles its the biggest fight at 135.

            Pretty much what I expected to happen the day the fight was announce.
            Crawford fought his best in his biggest fight thus far...VERY IMPRESSIVE!

            Also liked how every time he got hit he got more aggressive and came forward and put together punches.

            Cong**** to Crawford! Respect to Burns as well I doubted he would even take this fight.

              i actually agree, a lightweight broner rather easily disposes of burns in a few rounds. every right hand had burns reeling

                  Crawford was impressive. Solid win. Can't wait to see more of him.

                    Stop listing to Jim Watt I serious doubt Jaw would have made any bit of difference, just a horrible style for Burns
