    :rofl

    Go watch the British forum RbR of that fight. Most scored it to Dirrell. Then the decision came out and they all suddenly changed their opinion. Revisionism at its finest.

    that's actually a difficult one because Burns KO ratio has always been deceptive, and his power has improved even more since his move to lightweight, Vazquez isn't a banger himself but a lot of that may have to do with his style...I believe Burns atm has the more pop

    Burns. Not saying much, Vasquez doesn't set his feet very often or get his weight into his shots.

    Burns IMO. The left hook that dropped Mitchell, I couldn't imagine Vasquez produce and Ricky definitely hits harder to the body. Also believe Ricky is quicker with better jab but Vasquez works angles better jumps in with unorthodox leads, he is good and will be tough to beat.

    55-45 Burns IMO

    Ricky Burns.

    Vasquez doesn't really sit on his punches, he's constantly on the move. I really do hope Vasquez gets a fair shake. Although Vasquez has a style that is not pleasing to watch, he does outbox and outland his opponents.

    Not that it mattered much in the end but Tom Dallas - Zack Page was a really bad one.

    That was a bad robbery, forgot about that. Was a small hall low profile fight tho, I'm talking about world level

    Matthew Hatton v Lovemore N'dou was a blatant robbery

    Because there are a few people who are very worried about large plates of crow if Burns pulls this off and worse still, looks good doing it.
    Far from an easy task,but still bad news for quite a few on this forum.

    I'll go into the fight expecting a fair decision, just like I always do, but I'm not going to ***** and moan about a fight that is weeks away.

    Most fix jobs are done by the promoters, not the location of the fight. Don King could host a fight in the UK and manage to rob the home fighter if he managed the other guy.

    Dirrell is 7-5? LOL more like 9-3 if being generous to Froch. 10-2 is closer to the truth. Froch vs Dirrell is such a big robbery. Abril/Rios was a close fight. Rios at least landed more than 5 clean shots than Froch did on Dirrell.

    U Need to get ur eyes checked if you think Mitchell "boxed" prescott face off. He was running for dear life the whole fight. The only reason you believed that he won was bc of the constant brainwashing comentators.
    -When Kevin gets hit, Those bozo said wow what a chin Kevin got.
    -When prescott misses a shot, They speak negatively on Prescott's skill level, even though Mitchell is not even doing **** but running.
    -When Kevin lands ANYTHING, they act like he just landed a ko punch.

    Dirrell would have got the W if he hadn't run like a ***** all night.

    No matter which way you put it Dirrell got on his bike and ran like a *****, wasn't good defense, just blatant running.

    Most cowardly performance I have ever seen
