Thoughts on Ricky Burns next move

Hearn tweeted yday prob out in Vegas next on undercard of possible froch/Chavez fight... (Also could be McDonnell I think)

@EddieHearn: @thefightscore looks like Vegas

@thefightscore: @EddieHearn Sounds like on the Froch vs Chavez bill?? Guys asking if it will be at 135?

@EddieHearn: @thefightscore yes

 

If you read my post correctly you will see I am referring to when Ricky has fights, he has regressed massively. Now even in build up to his last 5 fights everyone who has seen him spar says how great he looks, I am not doubting he does, what I am correctly saying is he doesn't look good when it comes to fight night when it matters, most people would agree with that. Kevin Mitchell was a better talent when they were younger, he breezed through British level, were as Ricky was losing at that level. But as I have also rightly said Ricky has had and I have no doubt will finish with having a more successful career than Kevin. And you seem to have a constant knack of belittling Scott Harrison the fighter, even when he is not mentioned.

 

I just wonder if it might be Denis Shafikov? He is still rated highly and is boxing in Vegas this weekend.

 

As an aside-The McDonnell card will apparently feature all 3 Kameda's with talk in the Japanese press suggesting Koki will have a world title fight on the card

 

yeah just remind who ricky fought in his last wto fights , two serious journey men , one beat him and one he looked awful against

 

don't get me wrong im a huge burns fan just stick of the stupid conversation saying that he is so much better than Mitchell when the truth is he isn't anymore, yes he was at the time but not now, regarding zlatacanin whether or not he won a eliminator he was awful on all levels apart from being able to throw a huge right hand, he is not fringe world class let alone world class and burns should of beat him everyday of the week but he didn't because he is on the slide fast, its a shame but its fact and Mitchell who lost to burns would give him hell if they fought now

 

Totally Agree, one point I would add, the big right hand that Zlaticanin throw was thrown with a telegraph attached. Cant believe how Burns could not get out way of them

 

Exactly, if you can't see that Ricky has seriously declined over the last few years, then your either blind or stupid and you certainly don't belong in the game.

 

must add im glad rickster is getting to fight in vegas though he deserves it before he retires

 

He probably will retire after he loses again in vegas

 

well I cant comment on that because no one has the ***** to say who he is fighting!!

 

your a source of inspiration mate so you are

 

Ricky is on the slide no denying that but I hope he wins this one to shut up all the trolls on here if anyone deserves a big night in Vegas it's definitely Ricky I just hope he turns up well and doesn't freeze under the occasion but he's a 2 time world champion so I don't see him freezing.
