Burns vs Crawford RBR

[gilgamesh]

Ahh....I got you

[keithmoonhangover]

A black friend of mine, who isn't a boxing fan, just text me about AJ..... "That boy is one big tough n1gger". I'm guessing that's a compliment.

[expe]

Ahh....I got you

It's cheap and one bottle has the same amount of caffeine as 8 cans of coke, 43% of alcohol fuelled crimes are by people drinking buckfast and in some places 35% of litter is bucky bottles.

Eddie in a whisper "Make sure you say how great the crowd are and how you want Ricky Burns to win".

Did he actually say that or are you purely taking the piss there?

I bet my eyeballs and bollocks that's what he whispered.

I have just watched Crawford vs Sanabria.

The Mexican was tall & rangy & appeared heavy-handed; he surprised Crawford with some straight shots & a couple of authoritative jabs, the occasional left hook as they came out of exchanges. Crawford used a quite savage long/mid-range body attack to weaken Sanabria, then took him out with a brutal lead left hook thrown off a feinted jab (i.e. he showed the Mexican a jab then pulled it around into a hook) at the start of the sixth, same sort of punch Jhonny Gonzalez flattened Abner Mares with. One punch job;though Sanabria got up, he was gone.

Crawford reminds me hugely of a certain Jose A. Gonzalez. Not as slick defensively but punches in the same stance, from the same angles.

This is going to be veeeeeeeeeery interesting.

I agree on the Gonzalez comparison.

[JimStone]

You can't knock the Scots for getting behind their man. Good turn out.

[lefty]

I think Crawford looks better as a southpaw than an righty though. I think we'll see him fighting more out of the southpaw stance.

[keithmoonhangover]

HA'WAY RICKY BURNS SON!!!!

[lefty]

Just coming into the ring now mate.

[Datsue]

aint they started yet!!

Burns walking to the ring. Crawford in the ring, predictably, being shown a fair & non-partisan welcome in the best Scottish sporting tradition.

Wish someone would inject the cunting ring announcer with deep-fried smack, or something.

& Burns' gay disco ring entrance never ceases to dismay, er, I mean amaze me.

[misterpunch]

thanks I feel better now!!

[lefty]

Feel like im at a rave....

[JimStone]

Ricky is just starting making his way to the ring. Scorching atmosphere. Not sure what the song he's walking in to is.

[Old bones Ian]

Well here's hoping Ricky can pull of the win, i've gone for a Burns points win

[lefty]

Where's my glow sticks...

[lefty]

Never like it when we boo the national anthem. Looks classless.
