Omar Figueroa vs. Ricky Burns

Thank you couldn't of said it better myself he just lucky to have big promoter behind him

 

Figueroa by wide decision, or maybe even a stoppage.

Omar is on a roll, while Ricky is in a six fight slump.
After his impressive win against Mitchell he never impressed anymore and is lucky that he didn't lose 5 in a row since until fighting a lower level opponent.

 

Pretty sure this isnt for the 135 title.

Think they're fighting at 140

 

Figueroa isn't anything special but should have enough to beat Burns.

 

Figueroa probably by points , Ricky really doesn't seem to be able to fight the way he used too

 

Burns in his prime wouldn't be hot fav vs Fig, but this shot to sh it version stands no chance. Its a mismatch.

 

Another big fight for Burns. How many chances does he get to redeem himself.


I think Hearn just hasn't got the testicular fortitude to tell him he's done at world level and wants to milk anything that's left out of Burns's career.


If Burns wins it wouldn't surprise me if Hearn pushes for a Mitchell fight later on down the line at Mitchell's comfortably weight or at a catchweight close to Mitchell. It would sell out the O2 so Hearn would be pleased.



Him and Brian Rose need to be told the truth about their careers but Hearn like the clever businessman he is will not do that.
