if you were chocolate you would eat yourself ya bawbag....Crawford didnt get out of 2nd gear against your golden boy on his patch...ive seen about the last 50 rounds that Burns fought and i doubt he won 10..was it you who taught him to throw punches way outta range so he is stretching all the time leaving himself wide open for left hooks? face it ,Burns is average and got lucky to be a World Champ but fair play for getting there...
Burns has been a classic victim of his own success, a think the **** ups and inactivity after the mitchell fight when he was on fire was the start of the end, he should have been right back in there, since then its been downhill. Very Proud a Ricky Burns
shut up ya **** you need a whole lot of skill to win a world title not luck, remind us how many champions you've trained from behind your computer
Good summary mate of what most seen. Even if the opponent is better, at least go down trying and fighting.
Billy and Ricky have done a great job 2 weight world champion and some defences , I can't believe all the criticism on this forum . IMO Ricky hasn't been the same since breaking his jaw and perhaps a step down to domestic level will rebuild his confidence and career . If he can get back to his best he will be challenging again .
He was brilliant against Martinez,not the most naturally talented of fighters ,the point surely is that Billy and Ricky deserve respect for the two world titles.
He has not looked the same hungry fighter who beat Martinez since the Kevin Mitchell fight. Dreadful performances in all 4 fights since.
Agreed he hasn't done well since Mitchell. Brixton assbomber is just another fanny who gets the digs in when a man's down. A pussie
Embarrasing some of the stick thats gets put about. I dont know why billy or anyone else bothers...i wouldn't. Seen a thread about frankie gavin on boxrec a forum that he actually takes the time to post on...full of negativity against the boy and yet he's always aquitted himself well when he's been on. As fans of the sport we should be encouraging our own. No one's saying agree with everything they have to say...but the level of respect these guys get that come on is shocking. No real fans left...everybody loved ricky when he was winning titles etc suddenly after a few bad results he cant fight, doesn't move his head, fights out of range, is scared to take a punch, isnt giving 100%, is a fraud and more. When it's simply down to the level of opposition he's been facing recently. . Also anybody that trys to brush the guy ricky fought the other night as a no-hoper doesn't have a clue. He looked crude at times but would be a dangerous opponent for most. Some wont rest until billy tells us that ricky is shite and he's a fraud of a trainer. Billy has came on and said a few things that i dont agree with...eg regarding the beltram fight and broner fight. But if he was coming on forums telling us that ricky has no chance against broner he wouldn't be much of a coach. Never yet heard any football manager that didnt believe their team could beat any team they were facing. Lets have some respect before chasing another poster thats actually achieving something in the sport we all follow off of it.
Also agree he hasnt look the same since a great performance against mitchell. Started trying to sit down a bit more with his punches since...and he's getting caught more for it.
