    He wanted the toughest, most dangerous fights out there. He forgot the 3rd dimension, the fight where he actually had a chance of winning. To be fair, sure he'd fight Crawford but it would be a massacre - still it brings the possibility of a unified champ which is always good to see.

      I like this fight.Indongo's story is cool and Ricky's managed to come back well from the Crawford defeat.As an American I was rooting for Crawford but can't believe the level of angst people over here have towards Burns because he lost his biggest fight but still manages to fight on TV.Overcoming setbacks is the basis for every boxing story you've ever seen or read..Arturo couldn't beat Oscar or Floyd.Mosley couldn't beat Forest.Etc etc.Could be that Burns and Indongo don't have the God given talent that Crawford does but I bet this fight in the UK is more entertaining than any Crawford fight this year

                Two Fraud Champions

                It wouldn't surprise me if Burns got KO'd by this unknown. Everyone knows that Crawford is the only real champion in the division and that Felix Diaz is still being avoided by everyone at 140 and 147.

                  All this after one punch that could have been just luck? Crawford couldn't KO Burns and like you say, Crawford is way more than a one punch wonder. Burns @ 140 is a handful and Indongo reminds me of Barosso. An old KO artist that you never heard of before.
