I cant praise your work with Burns enough Billy, truth be told. Rickys a defining fight away from being arguably the greatest scottish fighter of all time IMHO. You turned Ricky from a kid with amazing natural boxing talent into the complete world class boxer-puncher that he is today. nuff said.
What makes you think Burns could be sparked early doors, bearing in mind Burns has never been TKO'd, ever, and he has fought some strong fighters Ponce De Leon has been taken out in a round before, Broner didn't exactly destroy him did he? Be realistic
Craney, he is open to a long range jab, he has been outjabbed, he had been outworked, he has also improved a lot, but what is your obsession with hammering home the point that you think Broner beats Burns? To pick a fight with Billy? lol we get it, and it's a valid POV, but realise that Broner is not invincible
In my opinion it would BB my good man After all, they were telling us on HBO that Max Kellerman was stating if Broner beat Demarco, he should be in the top 10 P4P list.
:rofl Dont try and make out your some sort of boxing oracle because you predicted Broner vs Demarco correct. I never predicted Demarco vs Broner craney, i sat on the fence and pointed out that because Broner is stepping up in class it COULD be a hard fight for him, even a defeat. Broner vs Demarco i viewed as a fight that would give me insight into how good Broner really is at that level. Broner looking impressive didnt surprise me at all, it was only 1 of many potential outcomes in my mind. Demarco has been smashed up before after all. Broner impressed me alot in area's i never thaught he would tho, that being inside work, toughness and grit. I was actually quite surprised at how easy Broner was to hit at times but i think a bit of that was down to the fact Broner knows he has good whiskers and didnt respect Demarco's power so was willing to take a shot to dish it out. He looks a hardy little *******! Broners foot work is in my opinion quite ****, Burns has far better footwork. A technically sound intelligant boxer with a long fast jab, high work rate and the ability to fight at distance is the type of fighter to beat Broner, Ricky burns is all that and more. great chin, physical strengh, teak tough and a big heart is Ricky's other gifts that make him WORLD CLASS, plus his inside work is clever, very underrated. I know it might be a bit boring to watch and im no boxing expert but if i was Burns i would Ronald 'Winky' Wright that mouthy overhyped mutha ****a! Easier said thah done tho. You keep banging on about the Ricky Burns fan boy's but where are they craney? Im a big Burns fan but defo no fan boy! appart from the odd trolling in the general ive never seen one Burns fan say ''smash him, ko round 1'' and actually mean it. your talking **** AGAIN! As a scot and a big Burns fan i have it 50/50 as of now. As for you and your little tiff with Billy, i actually think its good to see a bit banter, thats all it should be tho. Keep it boxing. The worst ive read from Billy was things on the lines of ''you know nothing about boxing'' ''your an idiot'' etc. hardly real nasty or personal. Im sure Billy doesnt give a toss what you say but the sarky KFC **** imo is a personal insult on the man and bang out of order. Billy is in the limelight so its easy to get personal. With Ricky Burns Billy has always had the last laugh with the likes of you on here and long may that continue. If its the likes of you that drive them on in the gym then i suppose you should keep up the good work craney ma man. :good
At the end of the day, your not reading all of what I have said rossco, just the first bit and then had a go as usual. Please read all of what I said mate, at least have that basic respect, your making yourself look foolish, when you said, you said before the fight "Broner vs. De Marco was a toss up".....thats exactly what I said in the post you replied t!....But no, you cherry picked bits and bobs and then had a swipe. I said, that people were saying to me, "it was no forgone conclusion", when I predicted a Broner easy work....which it was. But people before the fight, thought De Marco was gonna win! Every time something happens, your trying to move the goalposts, I've never seen a bicycle move backwards so quickly! Before the fight, for some, (not necessarily you, before you get your knickers in a twist) it was, "Broner is nothing special and De Marco will win, lar di dar" "Broner is not a good fighter" "Burns will school him when they fight" etc etc etc...all the usual. But I told you, this fight was in at the deep end, De Marco is better than ANYONE Ricky Burns has fought at this weight, Broner didn't deserve the fight, because it was his first at the weight, I've said that a million and one times. Ricky Burns was more deserving of the shot! I agree! But the fact is, this is Al Haymon, Sam Watson, of course Broner is gonna walk into fights like this. Open your eyes guys! He got the fight, it was for the WBC, and he made a good fighter like De Marco, look average. De Marco would give Ricky Burns a tough fight! And now the fanboys are coming out saying, "this doesn't put Broner in the top 10 and he is still crap." GET OUTTA HERE! I've seen and heard this **** all before with Floyd Mayweather, whether you like it or not folks, one day, you will have to just accept it for what it is. Your always gonna doubt them, until they expose your boy! I'm sure some of you lot just get worked up because your from Scotland, and this is your boy. You have something to cling onto. And so you should! Scotland don't have many like this....and it's not like you can rely on your national team is it?
Time after time ive predicted Burns to lose and got it wrong.He is a massively improved fighter but i think Broner is the real deal and is a step too far for Burns.Hope im wrong. PS with my prediction record of this fighter everyone down to the bookies and lump on Ricky.
