Inidividual interviews with IfilmLondon Burns - says he will be back working in the sport shop the following saturday after the fight, only gets Saturday of the fight off! [yt]tNRZT4JtsdA[/yt] Chelo's - likeable guy from the interview [yt]FElbQj8L8kQ[/yt]
Floyd Patterson was a true gent he'd be turning in his grave at some of the hateration you post in his name :verysad This is a good competitive match up for Burns, why all the hate?
Are you suggesting he ducked Vasquez? Funny that,given that he left his promoter because he knew the fight wasn't going to happen. Now,the WBO have insisted he fights his mandatory,whilst Broner jumps two weights to fight a guy who never won a big fight.
What is with ESB hating on British fighters? I give Burns much respect. Vazquez would've been a more dangerous opponent than Broner.
Look at Burns fans defenfing him:rofl We could have seen Broner vs Burns nice fight but he ducked and like it is no biggie he even did not try to cover up his ducking:dead I now want to see theory that he did not duck Broner
He didn't take a late offer because he wanted a full camp(which is understandable,given that there was a fair chance he could lose) No named fighter wanted that offer,hence the fight with Rees.If Burns had fought Rees before Broner,he would've been slaughtered. We've been over this many times,and the whole point of going after Vasquez was to get more negotiating power for a Broner fight. Burns has been a belt holder longer than Broner.He had every right not to jump in with a 7 week camp just because HBO were breaking Broner's balls to get an opponent. That's why Broner fought Rees. Don't thank me Filip.I usually get on OK with you so I won't charge for dealing with your request.:good
Gonzalez is a typical boxer puncher who can do everything inside the ring. But even i can look like a world beater with the right opponents. This will be his first test vs world class opposition. So he will either prove he is legit or otherwise. :hat
On what basis do you feel that he ducked him? Because Broner said so? If not taking the hardest fight of your career without full preparation and sparring because Broner couldn't find an opponent to fill the date is your definition of ducking,then I see where you're coming from,but looking at it objectively and asking yourself "what would I do in that situation?" might result in you at least considering the alternative explanation. Alas,with a heavy heart,I suspect that won't be the case.
