Crawford is a bad dude...

[Holywarrior]

He's very good. People are underestimating his power. If Burns and his corner weren't so proud they could've threw the towel in after 8 or 9

[sugarsmosley]

No, but he always gave it a go. Tonight, nothing. He fought scared. I don't blame him but he shouldn't be boxing anymore.

Also, Chelo not a journeyman. He'll show that in time.

well u cant blame him, its hard to hit crawford cleanly. ricky has some speed but not good enough to be able to put it on crawford anyway. he would be wasting energy throwing a buncha missing shots

I liked that he was trying to get the knockout at the end. He had the fight won, but he wanted to make a statement at the end. That's the sign of a true champion.

i dunno man... ricky was never wobbly but was obviously hurt. its hard to stop it at that point especially ricky was defending his title

Yeah but he'd usually take one to land one. Tonight he was scared to take one and literally ran to the ropes. He shouldn't have been in there and should retire. I hope he got a good payday.

Right, so why talk up Crawford on that performance? makes no sense.

Honestly, Burns does have great heart and determination but showed none of it tonight because he's still injured and didn't want to get hit.

I think Crawford is good, but comparisons with Hagler and talk of PFP after beating that version of Burns is premature.

lol, i haven't talked up Crawford

He clearly has world level skills though.

first time i saw crawford fight,
he is a classy fighter,
im defo a fan lol

i was impressed with the way he paced himself,
i also think crawford hits harder then the way jim watt was making out...

I think it was in the 6th Burns buckled pretty badly off a counter hook. Maybe he didn't see it, but it really hurt him.

[JACK1190]

Bandwagon incoming. He beat a past it Burns, and I wasn't really that impressed to be honest, I expected him to but I also expected more.

[Tom Cruise]

Wasn't that impressed, not the same Burns in there tonight, he was scared to open up. He's shot, and needs to retire. Shouldn't have been in there if he's afraid to take punches.

Crawford definitely has skills but that version of RB is no barometer.

I think Burns was average before, but has gotten worse. I give credit to Crawford for travellng and winning clearly but i dont think he was 'the next big thing' amazing.

He might prove me wrong though
