Ricky Burns would punish Rios

The brits speak about Burns like he is an ATG. LOL pretty funny.

 

?? And who has Ricky Burns beat? And dont say (past his sell by date) Katsidis.

Ricky Burns fans need to calm down and wait for him to beat someone with a pulse before makin ridiculous predictions.

Gettin excited about him beating up shams is a bit pathetic.

 

It is an old fashioned question of distance: can Burns keep Rios on the outside? Considering more accomplished fighters such as Alvarado and Miguel Acosta were unable to do so, I doubt Burns would be able to. However, I would really like to study Burns footwork a little more.

 

So Burns is going to go to 140 to duck Broner?

 

rock, paper, scissors doesnt work in boxing

 

and if burns was he'd be in the states
building up a guy like burns as you are is exactly why promoters like war+en hold back the careers of his fighters for hometown $$$

and its also why you'll be making fantasy matchups about guys under frankie's sway (cleverley is a prime example) but the fights will never happen

 

I'd favor him against drained Rios at 135. At 140, probably not.

 

agreed but Burns hasnt beaten anyone of high note either.

 

the Rickster would give Rios an absolute torrid time at 135 or 140.

Definite Burns win.

 

Good fight. slightly favour Rios at 140 but it's a difficult style match up for Rios if Burns has a chin (seems to be OK in that department but hasn't fought anyone worthwhile to test it so not sure). I'd l;ove to see it and would be rooting for Burns, he has a chance.

 

Burns is an excellent boxer. I don't think he will reign for a long time but he is great to watch. Brilliant jab, decent defence and very underrated. He's also the pride of the beautiful town of Coatbridge.:rofl

 

Burns fans already talking about Rios because they know BURNS is going to duck Broner again
