    Not really but had a title and a ring ranking, now he's known as the guy who avoided Broner
     
  2. Dunky its a hollow victory, Im not for one bit taking pleasure in all this, In fact Im a bit sad, Im of the opinion that Burns could have beaten Broner and would have done?, Its his management that really needs looking at

    For me he's not only guy that has weight troubles or is big at the weight. I personally feel they wasn't to sure Ricky was ready for the top guys and thought they could milk the Scottish fans by serving up **** poor defence's. He's always been big at the weight really and truly..

    I take no pleasure in it, squire. None at all.

    I'm shocked Billy, really poor this.

    1of the worst reigns by a champion ever! could have been redeemed aswell with a victory over Broner

    Sorry mate, but this is really disappointing!

    I understand where your coming from :good

    Like I said I don't have anything concrete, I just thought that may be a reason he was fighting **** opponents. Can't believe I'm defending a Scot :lol:

    :good

    VVarren has done it before with other fighters but tbh less embarrassing then this reign. He was milking Ricky's glory that's all i can see from this utter debacle of a reign.

    By the way i still believe Ricky's ducking my challenge and by moving up i get a personal victory. ;)
     
  8. An event win for sure :lol::good

    Billy with all due respect how long has Ricky been "struggling" at the weight?

    No offence but something tells me if a Latvian dentist was the WBO 130lb mando then Ricky wouldnt be moving up.

    Just sayin.
