Not sure if the crowd is showing support, sounds like a bunch of boos and general restlessness in the crowd lol.

Belal outstruck Burns over five. That's crazy

Don't even think Burns "looked flat", because he looked great early on. Belal just neutralized him

This card would have been no worse without this fight imo. I sound like a hater for saying this but feel free to downvote if you disagree. Maybe I’m being overly harsh
