Burns Next Opponent in the states (options)

Figueroa is a come forward relentless fighter who punches hard and is even bigger than ricky at the weight not a good match up for burns

 

I agree being fed to the wolves here. Burns will have to be at his best and figuereo sub par. Hope he does it but i dont like the match up.

 

Figueroa will fight Burns on the 18th of April

 

If Ricky can box like he did with martinez, fast feet, flurries, in and out with punches in bunches and he has home advantage then he can win it, he has the skills but I must say I've not seen burns fight anything like that since he left billy nelson.

 

I dont think burns is the same fighter anymore. His defence and movement are not as good as they were and his jab is not as effective either and those are the tools he needs to beat a hard hitting pressure fighter who will keep coming. Burns could have done with another fight first but its a world title chance so who can blame him and best of luck

 

Ive just heard its Figueroa

 

He can beat figueroa, omar is overated. If hes on form ofc. If not he gets beaten and dropped again

 

Estrada took him the 12 rounds and look what mitchell just did to him

 

Figueroa stopped estrada in the 8th

 

atsch dno what the above poster was on about, But it was a closer fight than the mitchell one.

 

I know some of you are clutching at straws but burns is not what he was and figuereo is a big lw who can punch and likes to brawl and comes forward non stop it is not a good match up for burns at this time in his career. It wont be close and i think figuereo will walk through him amd put a beating on him. It is boxing u never know and omar does struggle at the weight as he is big and has talked about moving up

 

Wherd will this fight be if it is omar? Another southpaw great
