Im a fan of both men,Crawford is a class act in and out of the ring,i was gutted when he beat Burns but it was pretty conclusive and probably even wider than the cards suggested,it was great to see him KO Gamboa,Ricky can hold his head up and say he was beat by a great fighter,i just hope Terence gets the oppurtunities to get the big fights,he'll have to move up to 140 after this one i think

Beltran's someone who should have been world champ,how Burns managed to escape with a draw was incredible,even Ricky himself acknowledged Raymundu beat him and wanted to give him the rematch but the WBO insisted he face Crawford,its good that Beltran has another crack but its a pity its against a man who's levels above,assuming Crawford wins and moves up,Beltran's time might yet come

I cant wait to see the atmosphere again in Omaha,if theres a better one in the US currently,ive yet to see it

This is nothing but a display for Crawford nothing to get excited about here.

Beltran is as ordinary as they come just a tough guy.

The real fight tonight is Velez v Gradovich.

Crawford deserves every bit of praise he gets for what he accomplishes, imo. He isn't afraid of taking on guys he isn't supposed to beat, fights anywhere, against anyone, and so far has been impressive. I think he will be even more of a force at 140, and within a year or two a top 10 pfp guy.

Agreed 100%. With his lanky frame I could eventually see him ultimately being successful at 147 as well.

Just curious...with the name Badhusker, is it safe to assume you are either from Nebraska or maybe just a Husker fan?

Former Husker athlete. The older I get, the better I used to be.

Crawford will beat the crap out of Beltran. Maybe not a stoppage but easy win. Too fast.

And rightfully so. Crawford is currently ranked 1st in the world and Beltran is ranked 2nd... Could be a fight to remember...
