Ricky Burns vs. Jose Gonzalez - "Fighting Pride of Scotland" - Who you got?

What the **** are you talking about? Does every mortal thing have to be all for or all against? Why does everything have to be sworn to allegiance with you lot? Fanboy-No fanboy, Red-Blue.

You might not like it, but every time you lot open your mouths, you prove me right again and again. That is bound to get you even angrier, can you not control yourselves or debate like adults?

I've been down the middle with this fight and I believe it could go either way. I'm hoping for a great fight, everything points towards that. may the best man win, as it stands I am the only person on the forum to vote for a Gonzalez points win. If that comes of, I won't celebrate in your faces, however, if Ricky wins, you'll be all over it, "You doubted Ricky again" and all that bull****. I wouldn't be surprised if either man pulled this of its a 50/50 fight IMHO.

I knew this thread would become overrun by bravehearts. :-(

The Scottish will hype up every single fight Ricky is in to make it seem bigger than it actually is. Especially at this stage, where Ricky is fighting low ranked fighters. I started noticing this in the other thread, where to begin with people were saying he is low ranked, but as the thread went on, the Scottish were hyping him up as if to legitimize the fight.

I like Ricky and he seems like a top guy, very down to earth, aint got a bad word to say about him. But I suggest you lot get the tissues ready, because you have become so fanboyish and attached, the only way is down.

His fans, I cant believe he attracts these type of nutter fans, I really cant. I could understand it for a cocky and arrogant fighter, but Ricky couldn't be any further away from that type of fighter.

I hope for your lots sake Ricky will pull it of and then go on to the proper big fights in the division. Good luck Rick!

 

I'm not hyping Gonzalez up, I'm giving him credit for what he is, not what he isn't....a lot of people see this as a forgone conclusion and he doesn't deserve to be in the same ring with the "world class" Ricky Burns. This isn't a pushover, I've watched Gonzalez and he looks more than capable of defeating Ricky Burns, but Ricky Burns is also more than capable of beating Gonzalez, so it should make for good boxing. I'm really looking forward to this fight. If I'm hyping Gonzalez up for that, then what are you lot doing for Ricky Burns?

:yep

Oh and what has Adrien Broner got to do with this? Who has mentioned Adrien Broner apart from yourself?

You hate the bloke and me for being a "fanboy" (no concrete evidence) yet you are the one keeping his name relevant. :good

Think about it. No really. Think about it.

Have a look at thee self before pointing the finger. The Broner fight aint gonna happen, I said it months ago that Broner won't wait around and he will move up in weight before you can blink.

I was right....

Doesn't look like Eddie Hearn wants the fight now either (not that he ever did) talking about "with momentum" they may be inclined to make the fight.

Doubt it will happen now. Broner is gone. Ricky will stay around at Lightweight for a while yet and take advantage of the division with the "mover-upers"

 

Same here man.

It doesn't look like Jose Gonzalez has come to Scotland just to roll over. He is game.

He has come to win and so has Ricky. Win-win for the fans and the neutral.

 

No you wouldn't.

Small minded to think people are over hyping simply of the back of devastating KO's on youtube......To think people may have actually watched those fights closely to see what Jose Gonzalez is actually about! :huh atsch

Shouldn't you be getting the Jeff Lacy stuff out yet?....I'm shocked!

Of course Ricky will bring it like no other Gonzalez has faced before, but from what I've seen, there is nothing to say he wont be able to handle that. He seems like a good boxer to me first and foremost (what matters) with plenty of natural knockout power if needed.

If he was just a knockout artist with zero skills, I'd agree with you.

But he obviously has ability to back that 77% KO ratio up.

Write him of at your mercy Rossco. I'm sure Team Burns are taking this fight deadly seriously.

Gonzalez is game and Ricky will do well to beat him. :deal

Credit where credits due.
