Yes fair play to Burns for fighting half the fight with an injury! But it's the talk quitting that I don't get! He got injured he got to deal with it. He did. Don't make it an issue!
atsch damn! the way some fans treat fighters is unbelievable. They are not machines you know that are just there to get battered for your pleasure. Do you think boxers dont feel pain and a broken Jaw is nothing for them? We all know that Burns lost but to fight 10 rounds in such a pain is some achievement.
When someone who you admire like Billy Nelson turns out to be an arrogant ***** and gives you abuse for asking him a question then he puts himself in the firing line.Your dam right I'm thriving on it,this has nothing to do with Ricky,it's all down to Billy Nelson and his smug attitude towards people on this forum.He deserves all the stick he gets and you need to take your tongue out of his arse you sound just like him.
Most others havn't even bothered to stick around on this forum, including fighters and trainers. And no wonder, considering the abuse they get if they so much as make a mistake I wouldn't quite have approached it like Billy did, but to be quite honest, If I was in Billys shoes, I would have stopped coming here long ago. Don't be so smug mate
The blokes a stud. Heal, come again and set the record straight. People can't see it yet but a clear victory in the rematch will build the legend that is Ricky Burns.
That quote always make me laugh, silly thing to say that was made him look nad. If you re watch the last 2 rounds of the fight Maidana was battering him and was going to get a stoppage win anyway so he just quit. That was the first fight i ever watched in America live and the punches from both men sounded like bombs going off, never heard a live crowd react so much from the punches and kd's.
Agree with you. Burns showed world class heart getting through the fight. Jquik and Solaris have both used the bad decision to rundown Billy Nelson and Ricky Burns. We saw a trainer keeping his fighter going and fighter responding to his trainer and staying in there. If he were Mexican people would be naming their kids after Burns. World class heart and guts. I hope Burns recovers and can come back.
