Burns gets ass beat by Beltran and gets a draw, horrible decision

I would not call it a robbery, It was close I had same score as the commentator 115-113 for Beltran but There were a few rounds, 3 and 11 that could have gone the other way and made it a DRAW.
Now the judge that had burns 115-112 is off for sure but the overall decision of a draw is within reason.

 

I'm from the uk.. it was a clear robbery. Feel sorry for beltran and its bad for boxing and the uk when decisions like this happen. I cannot for the life of me see how one judge had ricky winning by 3 points + he was knocked down... very weird.

 

Explain why you call Jim Watt a biased"ass" yet you said that he said Beltran won the fight. It`s all toys thrown out the pram when ONE wrong decision goes Burns way against an American trained fighter.All of a sudden it`s all UK fighters are Ottkes and all foreign fighters that fight in the UK are 2 points down before the start.Bollocks.

 

Yes. Bad decisions are hurting boxing, but I have seen so really bad ones in America. Matthysse because a puncher because he knew he could never win a decision in America. It happened to Sergio Martinez, Kotelnik, etc.........

Brown Vs. O'Bell was perhaps the worst.............

 

A Ricky Burns fan here,from Scotland,and that was indeed a robbery.The ref was absolutely dire and nights like that hurt boxing badly.

 

The word robbery is a bit strong imo.
I had Beltran 3 points up at the finish.
Go look at the RBR thread if you want to see some really silly scoring, IB had Beltran winning 118-109 atsch

 

I am Scottish, it was robbery Ricky held throughout fight, is second rate and is a paper champion. Bad night for boxing, and Embarrassing for Scotland, Burns is no Scott Harrison for sure. That was a proper world champion.

 

The hometown fighter normally gets some sort of advantage, crowd cheering etc and perhaps given rounds that are borderline or unclear. I thought Beltran did enough to win the fight by 1-4 rounds. However, Ricky would have been given rounds that Beltran took a rest on. Basically, Beltran landed the heavier shots and was the aggressor. He won rounds more clearly, he even had a knockdown. Burns landed the lighter shots and won a number of rounds by basically tapping Beltran a few times when Beltran was taking a break or not attacking. Burns lucky to hold onto the title. He should do the decent thing and give Beltran an immediate UK rematch, once the injury heals.
Burns did not win the fight for me, Beltran should have closed the show to be sure of the result. Why he didn't? Who knows. :huh

 

Well Burns has a broken jaw which he apparently fought with for 10 rounds which would explain his lacklustre performance as he would have been in agony - but to carry on in such circumstances shows he has tonnes of heart & is a tough ****er.

Feel sorry for Beltran though, the judges ****ed it up completely he deserves a rematch

 

What do you mean "deserves a rematch'? He deserves the frickin belt.

 

is hardly a good advertisement to world class fighters being asked to come over to britain and fight infront of the british public
maybe vazquez knew something beltran did not.
beltran should sue for loss of future earnings:!:

 

Yeah, deserves it like I said but did he get it? No.

Therefore, rematch.
