end of the day Burns lost and isn't a champion. dont give a **** what the rankings say he lost clearly wasn't even a close fight no to bull **** home town decisions in the UK.
Lost all respect for Billy tonight. Shocking. In instances like this the boxing control should step in and reverse the decision. Making Britain looks absolute mugs. We have no right to critisize the US or Germany ever again. As bad a decision as I can remember
That's the point though, Billy didn't judge the fight or have any input into it. And why do people think he'd stand next to his biggest fighter and criticise him on live TV
Like Dan I didn't expect Billy to say anything else and it was plain to see that he knew he lost. Ref was a disgrace!!!
I agree no case can be made for Ricky winning or drawing that fight. Bad Bad decision. Even worse reffing.
Beltran said it best so there's no need for me to say anything really.Beltran is the real WBO belt holder in my eyes. Nelson might be fat but he ain't daft, he knows Ricky lost this and could have lost his last fight as well. Ricky is slipping big time.
bad decision...not ricky's fault......gets himself another earner...deserves it.....when you look at what footie players get ...he should be getting millions...................win lose or draw.....
Top bloke is Billy Nelson, keep the chin up lad, your boy did well. Dont let these bitter so and so's talk down to you.
It's not ricky or billys fault. I thought billy gave good advice in the corner and he knew ricky was losing the fight and told him to stop feeling sorry for himself. I'd just rather he didn't say it was a fair result, just say you need to watch the tape to give a fair opinion but it was a hard fight. Eddie hearn and matchroom are the ones to blame. They might think decisions like that will make them money in the future but It's what puts people off watching the sport.
Ricky certainly lost, no matter what anyone says, but, Ricky or billy never scored fight, the judges were **** poor, simple
"I thought Ricky had built up a good lead until he hurt his jaw in the 2nd or 3rd" Quality as always Billy.
