Adrien Broner on Ricky Burns situation.

Depends how much quality training you are doing though? Rees and Lockett seem alright with the 5 weeks. Just getting the fight and the platform means 5 weeks is enough for them. Gavin has trained hard for this fight away from home and away from family.

I can understand you and Ricky wanting more time, because you genuinely think you can devise a strategy to win the fight. Every team is different, Ricky might feel he needs 10 weeks for this fight. IMO Ricky could do a tough 5 weeks and take it to Broner like no other. Like you said before, a fitter fighter this side of the pond there is not!.....apparently.

10 weeks or 5 weeks though. Ricky Burns is still losing this fight.

 

I cant remember whether Billy said fitter, or more hard working? :huh

Getting ld now

I appreciate fighters having to peak Brenny, but for a super-fit superb boxer living a clean lifestyle like Ricky Burns, 5 weeks would have been surely enough? Considering the size of the fight and Ricky really needing that "arrival" fight, I would have expected him to have been all over it, especially with the confidence factor.....

It was enough for Gavin Rees.....although we may see come fight night, that 5 weeks wasn't enough.....we'll see! :good

 

In the words of David Haye - "I can't wait for this fight, I've got a f*cking hard on, its gonna be a great fight, A GREAT FIGHT"



I'll be getting the 10 inch out come fight night.

What? ....... Pizza!

My followers will love that! They are all here.....all ignored.....all cant get enough!

I feel like Luis Suarez. :hey

 

:good

Finally someone who talks sense and not this blind deluded zombie brainwashed hypocritical in denial over protective bull****.

Though?

Maybe you can get some abuse bam bam for speaking the truth for a change....

I'm always getting it!

Why always me? :huh

 

Yes, I do PTF.

A domesticated world champion is what Ricky Burns is.

:tong

 

If you read again, you'll see why I said 5 is enough. If Ricky Burns is as good and as hard working as some say, then 5 is ample enough amount of time. And like I said, this isn't' like Ricky Burns 10th huge fight, this would have been Ricky's first and arrival fight. Some will say that Vazquez is just that, but Broner would have been more so. Gavin Rees jumped at the chance after being given the same amount of time. If it had been 2 weeks, Rees would have been all over it. Lets not forget, Broner is getting the same prep to. Rees knows how important the fight is for his own career. He needs that take-off fight, this could be it, and it could reignite him, win or lose.

But your man turned it down because 5 weeks was not enough. I'm not gonna argue with that or you, afterall, you know your fighter, and your fighter knows what he needs and like you say, everybody is different. But don't you think it would have been better to say - "The fight was on the table, but I don't want the Broner fight just yet, because it's not where I want it, it's too one sided and I deserve better. It's an important fight for me for a number of reasons and also important for Adrien Broner, a great fighter, and we wont rush into it, because I believe I can win and that will take time, hard work, and mental preparation"

The fact that he came out and said 5 weeks is not enough, makes him look like a bit of a ducker, especially when later on Rees gets the fight at short notice and is all over it. Who was more deserving at this moment in time? Everyone was calling for Burns vs Broner....

Some will say, if it meant that much to Ricky and he was that confident, he would have been all over it.

No doubt about it. But if Vazquez was already in the pipeline before the offer, then I guess I'll give Ricky the benefit of the doubt. But like I said, this next fight isn't of much interest (to me), the next fight and the future is. Where does Ricky Burns go from there? Take off? Or go back to square one?

If Ricky beats Vazquez (and thats IF) and then ends up fighting Scott Harrison in the summer. Then atsch
