Mitchell would demolish Burns on that performance

He doesn't need it though. Beating Burns means nothing at the minute really, he needs to rebuild before he becomes a big win again

 

Although it's quite sad he lost to burns and shows if you dint take the game 100% you get nothing!

 

Why does Burns get all the hate on here? Put Billy aside theres no other reason for it Ricky is a nice down to earth guy doing what he enjoys for a living became 2 weight world champion yet you'd think he shagged some of the people on here's Mrs theres no need for the hate and i'm fed up reading it on every thread related to or started about Ricky just to act a hardman and say "hurrrhurrr i got a bite off Billy Nelson".

Kevin boxed well tonight and i'd favour him in a rematch but we won't see it while both guys are trained by Simms.

 

I agree, Bit of a nothing fight though. CRolla is a better match.

 

Yessir

 

absolutely, mitchells next fight is for a world title. :happy

 

Sod Burns, let's see him up against Linares or Bey. Mitchell beats either of them.

 

My predictions:

Burns to beat Mitchell

Mitchell to stop Estrada with an uppercut (Its in the general)

Solaris trying to bait Billy and **** on Burns as usual

give it up ffs and stop trying to take credit from Burns




The same guy who tries to say Kiko Martinez never got better than the Monroe fights like 6 years ago, but Mitchell is a new man and Burns is lucky that wasn't the guy he was fighting

 

How is it "sad"?

This is a real insult to Burns

 

Kevin Mitchell has credited Ricky as one of the guys who has kicked his ass into gear by how hard he trains, and by how he kicks Mitchells ass in sparring regularly

It's quite disheartening how many people are now ****ting on Burns' win over Mitchell, like Ricky Burns ever beat any good fighters

 

Exactly you'd think Ricky went in as an unknown beat Kevin then dissapeared again people forget the Martinez fight when Roman was considered #1 at 130 and would walk through Ricky and destroy him, Katsidis was apparently shot 1 year after fighting Kevin but if it had been Kevin winning a year earlier the same people would be classing it a career high for Kevin, Burns deserves respect for the fights he's had for being humble and being 1 of only 8 British 2 weight world champions.

 

Burns beat Mitchell easily that night.....he has had a great career.i hope Kevin can get a world title he has always had the talent.

 

Ricky, in my view, is an overachiever.

His heart and toughness outweigh his skills ala Froch.

You wouldn't teach the basics of Boxing to a beginner by telling them to watch Ricky Burns tapes, would you?

Burns, Garcia, Froch - All terrible at Boxing 101.

Floyd, Rigo, Cotto, Frampton etc - Those guys have the fundamentals to a tee. Not guys like Ricky.

This Mitchell stops Ricky in 8 rounds.

 

I would tell them to watch DVDs up to and including the Kevin fight, fast hands and feet water right defence hence hardly ever a mark on him after a fight, mate try not to find it hard to same someone is better than another at something, Kevin's own words "you don't win two world titles without being good"
Let Kevin enjoy his win he boxed excellently and stop all the rubbish he'd smash Ricky, well done Kevin!!!
