Just watched the ifilmlondon video with Hearn after last night, Eddie hinted maybe about possibility of moving to 140. He said about Ricky looking sluggish etc in his last two fights, is this just another excuse or do you think there's a good chance of Burns moving up in weight. Ricky's power last night looked ****, Beltran was just walking through him quite easily.
Ricky is defo big enough to move up to light welter but Billy seems adamant that his weight was ok for this fight so i see no reason for him to rush with a move up.
Stay at 135. He faced an awkward and skilled fighter in Gonzalez who would make most look bad & as we all know, he faced 10 rounds of agony fighting on with a broken jaw against a guy who was winging hooks in.
Was at the fight last night and was surprised at how Beltran was able to physically bully Burns at times, he looked weaker than normal to me and it crossed my mind that maybe he had trouble with the weight. He looked fine though, so probably not.
I read a thread on the scene forget who it was but a boxer that has sparred with Burns and Beltran said sparring with Beltran is like sparring somebody 2 weights above .
yeah no doubt he is very strong. People might laugh but i would love to see beltran v broner at lightweight
I recon Broner would knock out Beltran, his power & hand speed would be way too much for Beltran, who doesnt move his head enough.
Sorry but Burns will get spanked at 140, Garcia, Matthysse ect would KO him, stay at lightweight and give Beltran a rematch he deserves one and regardless of what fast car saids it should be in America it's only fair
