Ricky Burns in negotiations to fight Josh Taylor on May 18th

Burns cashing out? Surely doesn't really believe he can beat Taylor at this stage in his career.

 

If it does go ahead, I hope to keys get paid well.

 

Not surprised really, haggis it sells

 

Underwhelming. I was planning on going up there for this. Good scalp for Taylor’s record but career ending for Ricky. Brutally stopped early/mid rounds.

 

Was gonna go but I'm not forking out to watch a shot Burns get blasted.

 

Really
Other than being a fan boy wtf for
Hell they might let you in free at half time
Sh it ground no fans sh it ground no fans

 

Burns has had a great career, hope he is getting a decent pay check for this. Lets hope the beating Taylor gives him doesnt leave no lasting damage.

 

Is the Ivan Baranchyk WBSS fight not happening then?

 

He has already cashed out in nearly every fight since Ray Beltran broke his jaw

 

Horrible fight coming from a fan of Burns.

This would be at a weight he shouldn't be at and against a really talented and skilled fresh young Southpaw, the stance he has always struggled against.

Hope it doesn't happen but can see why he'd take it if its paying well.

 

Yeah?

Ricky is one of the toughest fighters I’ve ever seen.Stopping him early would be a major statement.

 

Josh is so wrong for Ricky, speed, strength, power and he’s a southpaw
Hope this isn’t true

 

Tell you what, be some story if Burns pulled it off with one last throw at the dice.

Stylistically this is all wrong for Ricky I'm afraid.

 

Any hungry talented young fighter is all wrong for Burns at this final stage of his career - never mind a World Class fighter such as Taylor.

He should know he is finished after losing a decision to Pants Crolla - the man in the ring against Martinez and Mitchell would have wiped him out easily.
