Burns vs Crawford RBR

[Horse]

10-9 Burns

[MightyWarrior]

He looks class, RB could be heading for canvas shortly

[Finn]

Burns is going to have to take him to the trenches to win this but burns is looking ok

[gilgamesh]

Crawford won that 1st round

Yep...bit of a faster pace than I expected. Let's see if they keep up at that pace.

[Tanzio]

Nice jabs by Burns. More telling blows by Crawford. Close.

1-0 Burns

"Terence Crawford, you're a wanker, you're a wanker"

Crawford is waiting to time with the counters

Crawford eats the first jab far too often.

[Horse]

20-18 Burns

[Datsue]

Septic's giving up his jab by fighting lefty...

round 2 to burns

[gilgamesh]

Burns took that 2nd round.

I agree with Watt, Crawford seemed more effective in the orthodox stance than in the Southpaw stance. He should go back to the right handed stance.

[Final round]

Has anybody seen Crawford fight before?

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.

Thanx Datsue. It is interesting. Jim Watt has it spot on as usual. Burns has been "reaching" with his punches but Crawford "isn't living up to his billing so far..."

[lefty]

Now im convinced that Crawford wasnt as good as Gonzalez.

[tommo100]

even round in three

[expe]

2-1 Burns

[Horse]

30-28 Burns

[Tanzio]

2-1 Crawford. Chess match.

[gilgamesh]

I think Crawford took that 3rd round.

Being in Scotland though he's not doing enough to separate himself from Burns.

2-1 Crawford. I wouldn't be surprised to see the official cards at 2-1 or 3-0 Burns. Crawford better step on the gas.

[JimStone]

Crawford will feel he's three up. He's by far the better boxer but I feel the judges will have a Jim Watt mindset.

Burns missing quite wide but Crawford not making him pay. Crawford is not good at southpaw, Burns should try and take advantage. Easier said than done.
