I don’t think Burns would want to be brutally put in a retirement home? Nice easy cash out and retire for him.
It does as Ricky is experienced, got great punch resistance. Would take Ritson the distance or late. Plus Ricky still better than anyone on Ritsons record.
Ritson doesn't look to be special in terms of his basic skill levels but his strength and power look potentially elite for 135lbs I saw a picture of him with Josh Kelly earlier in the week and he looked to have a bigger frame than Kelly. Mat Macklin said Ritson fought at Welterweight in the amateurs. If I was Eddie Hearn I'd move him to world title level quickly whilst he can make the weight comfortably which gives him all the physical advantages.
Boy has terrific basic skills. Liked Bellews comparison to Scott Harrison, as like Harrison Ritson has basic skills most people miss. His subtle footwork is world class, cuts ring of brilliantly.
