    Ricky Burns v Terence Crawford

    Anyone else going tonight?

    Tough night ahead for Ricky imo, he'll need to be at his very best to win based on what I have seen of Crawford. Although Crawford hasn't fought anyone of Rickys standard before.

    Looking forward to John Simpson v John Murray, Simpson is never in a bad fight win or lose. Seeing Anthony Joshua should be good as well.

    Not going but looking forward to watching it on SKY, also the De Gale fight is on channel five tonight so a decent night of sport on TV following the Liverpool game at 5.30.

    On Burns, has there been many if any boxers that have successfully returned to the ring following the damage to the jaw that he has suffered? Crawford looks a real danger to Burns but as you say his previous opponents have not been anywhere near the standard of Burns so it will be intersting.

    The only one who springs to mind is Muhammad Ali. He won the world title back after Ken Norton broke his jaw.

    Looking forward to this, expecting Crawford to win by KO though but would love too see Ricky do it!

    What time does the Burns fight start? 9/930?

    I'm here! Watching Appleby just now. He's fighting well but is telegraphing that right hand.

    Agreed.

    Heavy knockdown but should have been allowed to see out the fight.

    Simpson struggling big time here.

    Mismatch. Murray far too big for him.

    Joshua really looks the part.

    Not the best opponent but the power and speed is scary

    Absolutely brilliant atmosphere.

    Hope Burns can deliver. A win would raise the roof

    Hope Burns wins but can't see past Crawford as he looks sharp. I think he'll win by KO.

    Crawford isn't the superstar I was led to believe. Burns needs to be more confident.

    Crawford dictating now. Burns needs to lift it for the last 3 rounds if he gets there.

    Burns needs to knock him out to win, he's been 2nd best since the 3rd round.

    Crawford certainly isn't the next Mayweather on this showing.

    Decent enough but a bit slow and flat footed.

    Deserved win for Crawford but he's a million miles from world class.

    I had him by 2 rounds.

    Personally only gave Burns 2 rounds, he was a shadow of the fighter of a couple of years ago.

    Agree, hel get found out very quickly when he steps up in class. Decent but nothing special, Beltran would probably the belt off him.
