All this talk of Vasquez getting robbed is pathetic

    I can see the scenario where Vasquez frustrates Burns with his negative, spoiling style and edges the fight but loses on the cards because Burns was seen as the aggressor and 'out-worked' him.

    I think Burns is good enough and has the style to win legitimately here. He's good enough on his feet to cut the ring off and pressure Vasquez and that is going to be very important imo. His conditioning and punch output is always good too so I think he will be able to win a legit decision. I can see him being frustrated for few rounds so he'll need to be patient and not get lured into making mistakes which is what Vasquez preys on.

    Whoever wins it's not going to be a pretty fight but it's an important one for the division and hopefully the winner get Broner.

    Promoters run this game all over the world, there's no difference between the US and anywhere else, apart from the level of corruption . If you cant debate sensibly, don't bother coming in my thread

    If its a close fight, how can it be called a robbery?

    Um did you forget dirrell? Nothing what you've listed was worse of a robbery than Dirrell. Froch landed on air for 12 rounds. Prescott vs Mitchell. and they were trying to rob Corely when he was beating the brakes off of paul mcClosukey. They had paul winning the fight while getting rocked since round 1.

    Dirrell vs Froch was a close fight where the hometown champ got the decision, nothing near the level of the fights I mentioned. Even Dirrells biggest fanboy on here scored it 7-5

    Mitchell boxed Prescotts face off, you're either trolling hard or just have no idea how to score a fight

    McCloskey-Corley was in Ireland not Britain

    Im english mate and even i think this could turn out to be a robbery, maybe im just gettin sour on the sport after seeing decidions like froch v dirrell (dont care that he fought like a chicken**** for most of the fight dirrell won) mccloskey v presscott... prescott won, ashley sexton v shinny bayaar , bayaar spanked him...jamie cox v obodai sai...the list goes on.

    Not saying Britain is synonymous with robberies or anythin robberies happen everywhere but vazquez has that ugly style which while it should win him the fight it wont cos the judges are gonna favor Burns..thats just how i see it happening.

    The truth is it doesn't really matter, because Broner is gonna beat the **** out of whichever wins. Not trying to be a dick, but it's clear who the best fighter is between the three of them.

    Here's one for you if you really want one: Jaime Cox -- Obodai Sai. Widely considered a robbery.

    It doesn't help that one of the so called "writers" on this site write articles saying the only possible way Burns can win is via robbery


    the fight hasn't ****ing happened yet, but no, rather than give both guys respect for a tough, awrkward unification fight that could make or break either fighter, it's more negativity being spouted out left right and center

    If boxer A clearly wins 6 of the 12 rounds, boxer B clearly wins 4, and 2 rounds can go either way... It's a close fight wich can be scored anywhere between 116-112 to 114-114, but still a robbery when they give it to boxer B.

    They are as bad as each other. They would have a similar ratio of robberies to fair decisions.
