Billy Nelson on ringside

If i was Crawford i would have asked for OST for this fight, just a hunch i've always had abour Burns.

Won't matter though as Crawford wins this either by stoppage or comfortable UD, it really depends on whether Burns ends up in survival mode after 6 rounds(UD) or keeps trying to win(stoppage).

Burns has had a good run but his time is up now, no matter what he'll always be able to say he was a two weight World Champion unless something is found out about him that alters that achievement.

 

you are underestimating the power of Eddie Hearn and his judges/refs

did you not see Burns last 2 fights?

 

Hearn is corrupt but even he can't cheat Crawford winning this as either Terrance will win at least 9 clear rounds or he'll stop Burns.

 

Yet you dont pick up on his wild claims about Burns juicing? hahaha crazy

 

Ricky must be doing something right if he's been accused of 'juicing'.....more of a compliment than anything.

 

the only juice he goes near is irn-bru

 

WHAT?!! I'm a fan of Ricky but come on even I can tell he's not that concussive of a puncher he ko'd Mitchell because Kevin with no disrespect is a way over rated euro level fighter and he got caught on the button with a nice counter left hook.

 

Well let me explain.

I followed Ricky's career from the very start especially his losses to Alex Arthur and Carl Johanneson. I thought he was a decent fighter but nothing special and would be lucky if he became British champion.

Just to a few years later after those defeats, Ricky mysteriously becomes WORLD CLASS. Now i fully accept some boxers improve with age and become more refined and skilled with experience but the jump in levels Ricky made is a bit dubious to me. Also the fact that Ricky can sustain inhuman beatings and still seem to retain his stamina and come on strong later in fights is something that from a biological viewpoint goes against all scientific knowledge of how the human body works.

Ricky isn't the only British fighter i've had my doubts about though, have always had suspicions about Carl Froch too and the way he was still standing and seemingly becoming stronger against Groves as the fight progressed is unnatural.

So i'm not saying they're dirty, maybe they're just superhuman but i would like the BBBofC to be the first World boxing body to enforce a year round OST for all British boxers and hopefully send a message to the rest of the world to start doing the same to their nations boxers.

 

to be honest i firmly believe the majority of elite athletes are using PEDs in 1 form or another and if they are not then they should do....i just dont see Burns being elite though. if he goes on to smash Crawford then a couple of Cubans then yes but untill then i dont believe it

 

given there was a few years gap, it's possible that burns got better through training, no mystery at all. and froch steadily recovered from the kd while gg faded.

having said that, i think it's very tough to compete at the top without peds.

 

Well you aint no Brad Pitt lookalike{but who among us is}but to be completely honest I thought you were in pretty good nick{no homo}and nothing wrong with my telly as these days I make sure there isn't,as its a major hobby.Its also big so I can watch the boxing and footy.All the best to Ricky by the way.

 

Honestly ? Would never have guessed that. Everybody else seems to know what a meant

 

Ricky Burns and juicing.. Haha heard it all now.. I'm sure he follows Herbalife or so I've heard.. I hope they don't check him for meal replacements

 

Hope you don't mean Johnny Nelson's missus :yikes

 

I wonder where Ricky burns would be if he still under ****** career wise!
