Sky boxing night.

The words and tune of Flower Of Scotland are getting further and further away from each other with each passing line.

 

[The Kid Frankie]

Can see Burns getting schooled tonight, sadly.

Hope I'm wrong.

I think you are right... Burns looks nervous already. Really hope he pulls this off.

Likewise, but I somehow can't see it.

Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Ernest]

Burns been lucky the last twice will the luck run out tonight ?

 

[The Kid Frankie]

Burns working well enough behind the jab but Crawford looks very quick. Atmosphere sounds unreal.

 

[Questions]

Crawford nicks round 1...... Just.

 

[red star portslade]

I don't think Burns is good enough to beat Crawford.

Saying that, if he goes the distance then the judges will probably gift him the decision anyway

 

[The Kid Frankie]

Crawford nicks round 1...... Just.

I would have said Burns - but could have gone either way. 2nd to Burns as well despite there barely being a single punch landed.

 

[Questions]

3rd to Crawford I reckon but very close all

 

[The Kid Frankie]

No real risk taking from either fighter thus far. It's almost like they are keeping their energy for the latter rounds. If it stays like this then Ricky puts it on him in the final third he can win this.

 

[The Kid Frankie]

Bad round so far this for Burns...

 

[Questions]

4th to Crawford

 

[red star portslade]

Crawford Rd 10 KO

 

[Questions]

5 to Crawford

 

[The Kid Frankie]

Crawford finding his stride now. Be surprised if Ricky can find a victory

 

[Questions]

Burns has lost 5 of the 6 and doing very little.

 

[red star portslade]

I find Burns quite frustrating to watch. Quite predictable, very straightforward, a pretty boring lunging style.

 

[Ernest]

Burns got beaten by a mile

 

[red star portslade]

Crawford won in the very, very least nine round there, possibly as many as eleven. Very disappointing from Burns. Think he should pack it in now. Not sure he's got much left. Crawford wasn't great, but he didn't have to be.

I don't think even Eddie Hearn could have got away with fixing that one. This debate about being at world level will rumble on, this was Burns's 10th world title fight but how many of those were arguably hand picked easier options by Frank Warren, even before he joined Hearn and the questionable results?
