no...... murray lasted how many rounds???? mitchell has power, speed and will box rios. rios is overrated.
Mitchell is a natural boxer, whereas I think Burns has worked very hard with less talent. Burns seems to be more than the sum of his parts. He reminds me of a successful Rendal Monroe.
Froch lost his belt fighting the best the division had to offer. Burns defends against 3 gimmes and moves.up as soon ad a viable challenger comes. No wonder the lads a 'champ'. Beating a faded Katsidis who came off the back of a ko and a ud beatdown isn't what I class as a defining fight either so enough bragging. Go call out Rios before he jumps to LWW, beating him would define Ricky. Instead we have to look forward to bull**** defenses of his interim belt. Wahey :-(
Rios stops him imo. Rios hits way, way harder than anyone Burns has been in with. One punch is all it takes the way I see it. Would cheer for Burns like but absolutely convinced its Rios by ko.
id say burns on points in a great fight, rios does hit hard if you stand infront of him but ricky wouldnt do that, rios can also be a bit of a plodder when he has to chase, great fight though no doubt about it
Add me to that list, I had Murray up by a round before the first knock-down. Kevin was never "in control" of that fight until that moment.
cmon billy get burns in with Rios a totally winnable figt hehe or that overated broner mug far easier tests than them tough african ****ers
A well prepared Kevin Mitchell is unbeatable. The only question is how many weight divisions would he rampage through?
