Those left hooks that had Mitchell on ***** street will have Burns out for the count, nothing against Ricky but Katsidis may be finished at the top of the sport but he hits a damn site harder than Martinez and puts the pressure on far more efficently, gonna be painful just to watch.
just asked myself, gave a different answer to yours. At the end of the day, Kat done well but was beaten to a standstill inside the distance against a great fighter, granted, but NOT a huge puncher. Dont see how that means that Katsidis was so amazing. Trouble is here that the hate for Burns is so outta control that everyone has turned Kat into some sort of unbeatable god here cos hes exciting to watch & wears a flashy helmet, cos they want to see the back of Burns. Trouble is, they have overhyped the guy up too much, & are going to be in for a shock when Rickys boxing his ears off & whipping in the bodyshots & uppercuts every time Kat tries to steam in. Let the haters worship their latest false idol, cos I know Burns can & WILL pull this one off. Too fast, too skilful & in his prime. Kats is in BIG trouble:smoke
Ricky, who couldn't even stop tiny, non-puncher Evensen walking through the front door? You're a buffoon, Dunky, just as ******ed as Primadonna Kool.
no need to throw your toys out of the pram dude, you asked a question, I gave an honest answer. As foe Evensen, I dont remember Ricky having any problems in that fight, it was a canter. Oh & dont even get me started on Graham Earl, who Burns gave a boxing lesson to when Ricky took the fight at short notice bu the same Earl had everyones hero Katsidis on ***** street, & Kat even admitted on the bunce show that he was 'buggered' & was lucky he got the stoppage. So thankyou and ****you Dftaylor.
Did you notice in the poll Dunky? that your the only person to vote Burns TKO/KO :rofl yes mate we are all the deluded ones, A lot of good posters disagree with you and that is for a reason,,, they have eyes! that may come as a shock but its true, not everyone is blinded by nationality. :good
Trust me fella, Im not blinded by nationality for this one, Im picking Burns on merit. I would argue that most folk here are blinded by nationality the OTHER way, & arent giving Burns a hope in hell cos hes a jock, simple as. Just cos the brit ESB angry mob say Ricky Burns cant knock this guy out, doesnt mean its true you know. To the tune of the Kaiser chiefs angry mob We are the angry mob, We read Brit Eastside every day We like Michael Kat We hate Ricky Burns & were all so easily swayed
burns must attack, if he hits and runs kats will catch up with him sooner or later and take him out because he will be fresh, but if ricky attacks and keeps the tempo high then he can drag kats into the deep end and not the other way round! heart says ricky, head says kats!
ach I know, its all big bad Billy Nelsons fault Burns is being written off as a ****in bum again come on dude, Rickys the nicest guy in brit boxing but hes got a hate mob here. I refuse to accept is cos Billy Nelson argues with Gary Barlow.
Hate mob? SO because he is a nice lovely lad we should all say he will win? 90% of people on here are picking Katsidis because they think he is a better fighter how is that hard to work out? I think Kats will ko Burns does this make me a hater because that is what my boxing knowledge tells me?
So considering nearly EVERYONE likes Burns and nearly EVERYONE like Katsidis, you think that we're all haters? Most posters are fed up of Billy Nelson and his hypocritical bull****, but most think Ricky's a nice guy who deserves some success. If you look at this fight on simple facts it's hard to pick Burns.
Dunky, you're a mong. Seriously, this is getting beyond ridiculous. 1. At least read the thread before making baseless accusations, i.e get some proper reading comprehension you twonk. Exhibit A: When I said that I was a fan of Burns earlier in this very thread. Exhibit B: In the very post you quoted, I never actually said Katsidis was "shot", I said he was past his best when he fought Guerrero, and the beaten he sustained in the process may have elimated him as a top class fighter. 2. Have some background knowledge before you, again, make baseless accusations. The example being the fact I've been saying this about Katsidis since he fought Guerrero, not just since he signed to fight Burns. I've been cordial enough with you before, but to be honest I can't bare you anymore. I know, I know, you helped "make this forum what it is", only I thought this forum was infested with Jock-haters?:think I think, if there is in fact an anti-Scottish agenda around here, you're probably the key component of why that is, with your idiotic, attempted smart-arse comments to anyone who has said something that you don't quite agree with. "Martinez was #1!" "Who had him #1?" "Oh look it's the ESB rankings police......." Is one example. You can't have a logical conversation, I said nothing in that post that would make anyone attribute the word "worried" to it, but because I don't say Michael Katsidis is in his absolute prime that means I'm making "excuses" in the scenario that a fighter I like wins? Your logic is flawed in just about every post you make nowadays, and it's getting more than tiresome. You keep up the ESB William Wallace act though, it suits you down to the ground.:thumbsup (and I'm not British, so no need to try to play that card again)
