They had to take it down while they fixed the fight for Burns. This one was just too lopsided to pull a Beltran on.

I had the other dude winning every round until the blackout. I assume Burns floored him in all the rounds we missed so he should be ahead on the scorecards. Can't wait to see Jim Watts scorecard. Should be hilarious.

Yea, we come back and Watt has Burns winning just about every round during the blackout. Which means... absolutely nothing.

I'm convinced Watt is basically a RNG scorer. Never have I seen a scorer so consistently off about fights. Maybe he's just blind or something.

Huge setback for Burns though. They're going to have to give him the Brit prospect treatment and give him a half dozen 17-14 (4KOs) type fights to build him back up!

Watt prob suffered brain damage during his day as a pro boxer that cause him to judge fights like a moron.

Pretty good bet imo.

Have to go to the fight. It's the first time in like 250 years that Omaha has had a title fight.

I'm excited for Crawford-Gamboa, even though I may not get to watch it (traveling). I like Crawford to win it, although I don't know about laying -195. The market beat you Chicago, it's generally -175 and as low as -162 now.

Don't think Burns getting upset yesterday has a huge bearing though. In a vacuum, perhaps, but there's too many intangible variables in play - Crawford fighting in Omaha, the possibility that Burns might not have taken Zlaticanin seriously enough, Gamboa's year-long hiatus from the ring, and all his other issues..

Maybe Burns isn't who we thought he was, but Crawford's win in Glasgow was definitely legit imo.

Burns hasn't been impressive since he beat Kevin Mitchell 2 years ago.

Crawford vs Gamboa is a high quality fight but it might be a bit of a stinker.

Hawks - Yea, I got burned by the market this time. Oh well, I feel like I've ran really good on where I've gotten my bets in this year.

JayTee - Decided not to go to the fight (friend that was meeting me there had something come up late and I'm not degen enough to drive ~7 hrs each way alone to watch it haha).

nojacket - My prediction is Crawford in a clear but boring decision. 116-112 for example, not a ton of heavy action.

This opening bout is somewhat boring. The silver trunks guy, Korbov or something, has had a few good shots.

Commentators just said that this is turning into a war. Not really sure if they are watching a different fight on ipad or something while calling this one...

1-1. Good fight so far. I expect Crawford to start countering well if Gamboa keeps getting more aggressive.

Is that the first time Gamboa has been on actual Queer Street as a pro?

Man Gamboa fights so stupid in these exchanges lol. Crawford just pummeling him in those.

Well, that was a damn fun fight. Can't wait to see Crawford at 140lbs.

Imagine Crawford - Bradley at 140lbs. Crawford - Provodnikov. Marquez/Manny would be fun matchups too.

And obviously, Mikey Garcia vs Crawford at any weight.

All that can technically be made within Top Rank.

Mikey Garcia/Crawford would be incredible. I'd think Mikey has a slight edge but it would be one hell of a fight.

Awesome fight.

Gamboa needs to move down. He's too small and his chin is too weak for 135. Crawford v. Garcia needs to be made!!

wow what a great fight.

Gamboa looked absolutely dominant the first 3 rounds. Ninth round was incredible.

Crawford's fights always so great. Just a joy to watch such an intelligent technician solve his opponents. I even loved the Klimov fight.

Any regrets, Nostradamus?

No more good HBO fights for a long time now.
