    He was??? Sounds good because I can't stand burns! Really didn't care for this fight at all though.
    Pretty much. Beating the hell out of him is probably a slight exaggeration, but he had Burns covering up on the ropes taking hard shots every round at some point, and answered every punch Burns landed by going forward and brawling.

        Damn bro, you're making it sound like I missed something good. Lol I'll try to check it out eventually. Just waiting on Lomachenko and Jr to fight now.

          Bradley's face was fine after the fight, while it took Ruslan 2 months to recover from the swelling. Tim just beat a top 5 P4P ATG boxer after this alleged "beating" he took from Ruslan so it must not have been that bad of a beating to begin with. People get concussions all the time.....scar tissue stays forever though.

            I mean, it was completely one-sided and had about a minute and a half or 2 minutes every round where neither guy did anything, so it's not like it was that good a fight. Crawford sure as hell didn't fight boring though, and if you want to see Burns get smacked around then you'll probably like it. First 3 rounds ******, after that Crawford did some damage.

            Literally, though, every time Burns landed a punch from round 4 on, Crawford went at him and Burns ended up on the ropes covering up.

              I hope you're laughing over there, ridiculously weak trolling.

                Aside of his amazing defensive skills I was most impressed with his mental composure. Every time he got hit he shrugged it off like it was nothing and responded with hard shots of his own, stayed composed in front of thousands of screaming fans, picked his shots extremely well, didn't complain about the **** ref, didn't panic at all.

                Few guys have that toughness, this guy is cold blooded.
                Nah, good defensive fighters don't get hit. I didn't see anything great from Crawford tonight. I think Beltran beats him, easily too. Beltran gave Burns a beating. Crawford fought a guy who got his jaw broken in his last fight. I am sure we will get Beltran-Crawford next, at least I am hoping. Crawford is holding Beltran's belt, for now.

                  He basically shut Burns down in a quiet way, no KD or anything like that but he took the play away from him at every corner. Burns looked like he just wanted the fight to end after the 5th round.

                    I was very impressed on how he took the fight to Burns. He has not shown that recently. He looked slightly more vulnerable defensively, but also much more like a champion caliber fighter. He looked more complete.

                      I have been saying for about a year now, that Crawford a future p4p guy...

                      Told anyone that would listen that Crawford would undress burns...

                      Honestly Crawford didn't look as good as I thought he would..

                      I don't like how he squares up ala Berto when he gets aggressive. Burns was able to land some nice shots when crawford squared up in exchanges
