Yeah he was over the top today. Kept blaming it on the jaw, it wasn't the jaw, it was the speed of Crawford's attack, and his attention to defense. Crawford fought really well.

He's over the top every day. He's terrible.

I gave Burns 2 rounds. The question is.. What good fights can be made at 135 for Crawford? Miguel Vazquez? Dude got skills but it looks like this is his ceiling, Crawford doesn't seem to have the power to have much success above 135..

They can work out vasquez, Mikey Garcia, Gamboa.

Gamboa and garcia are great fights imo

Might be wrong but garcia looks special to me. been following him the last couple of years and he looks a class act.

Can't fault Crawford tonight . He defiantly has has the heart of a champion

Anybody else hear Jim Watt say he wasnt really impressed with Crawford? It was in the later rounds, i think 9. Then again this is the same guy who scored Pascal-Bute for Bute by a point

Jim Watt said that at least 5 or 6 times.
He seemed to have it in his head that if Crawford was as good as they said he was, he would blow Burns away easily. Kind of disrespectful to Burns, I thought.
Crawford boxed well on the ouside and whenever they went up close he forced Ricky to back up, which I didn't expect to happen. He fought a very good fight and won it convincingly.

Nah, Beltran put a beating on Burns. Personally, I didn't see anything great about Crawford tonight. I don't think Crawford has the firepower to make Beltran weary. I want to see Beltran-Crawford. I am sure we will get that fight next.

Crawford is the class of LW and it'll be proven in due time.

He's too slick for Beltran. Crawford fights totally different from Burns
