Ricky Burns

ricky with respect would stop both Derry and Tommy it would be two mismatches and Derry and Tommy know it there not dafties

 

I'm good mate, how's things at the gym?

I thought that would be the answer mate but I wouldn't like to state something without it being the truth!!

Imo it would be very hard to work with him again the way he handled the change of trainers but at the end of the day you worked with him for so long and had great success so that might have been something at the back of your mind!

What sort of impact do you think Ricky could have at light welterweight? You have stated that he made the weight easy against Crawford so this seems a bit strange after 1 more camp he is suddenly struggling!!

 

Burns is done, his last fight showed that, i've defended him many times but it was clear mentally he is finished, he looked like the ring was the last place he wanted to be last time out, He has no buisness at 140, if he wants to carry on he should stay at 135 for some good domestic fights. He's done at world level, once a fighter is gone their gone Burns just isn't the fighter that beat Mitchell or Martinez anymore and never will be again.

 

To be clear i'd be very happy to be badly wrong but based on what i saw last time out he's nowhere near world level now.

 

Its pretty clear he is on the decline and nowhere near world level now

 

I'm pretty sure both have sparred Ricky inside the last 12 months or so & with all due respect to Derry & Tommy neither of them will pose the sort of threat for Ricky to see where he's at.. he'd stop the pair of them.

I do agree though that he perhaps needs a confidence booster, a fight to get him re-bound and then a good domestic dust up e.g. Crolla who for that matter I think Ricky would stop as much as he has improved recently.

 

OH Ricky's World Class alright just not TOP of his peers.

many fair and decent observers did comment their observations and concerns and there is certainly no harm in that. But most of the time they were treated with 'defensive' abuse or outright contempt. Ricky 'might' have been more, but more likely he would never have climbed into that top tier.

but a good and likeable and at times exciting fighter who always had a certain worrying predictability about him. But WELL DONE Son!

 

Aye seen him running a few times lately, think eddie tweeted last night hes on the Leeds bill

 

Yeh Leeds on October 4th he is out

 

Aye ****ing pied me when I asked him yesterday but then replies to somebody later on asking the same question.

 

He's making a habit of it these days , forgetting the people who's spent hundreds going to see him.
