Due to the controversial ending of his fight with Beltran, Ricky is happy to offer the rematch...however only in Scotland. In the same article it mentions Beltrans manager saying they would never come back over for the rematch, would have to be in America..cant blame him either. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/boxing/24016104 Very much doubt this will happen unless Eddie can offer huge $ to Raymundo
If Beltran beats him that convincingly and only gets given a draw why would he ever go to Scotland again, ridiculous statement from burns manager
Convincingly? I had Beltran winning 114-113 Ricky won rounds 1,2,6,7,11,12 in my opinion. That is not a convincing victory, that is very close fight.
You're in the minority then, people have had it as wide as 118-109 but the general consensus is from 115-112 to 117-110 being a fair score. There is absolutely no case for burns drawing or winning the fight, so yeah it was a convincing win in my books for Beltran
I think he will take the rematch in scotland. money will talk in the end. Joke really. It should be in america but we all know ricky will never fight in america
Pathetic. All real boxing fans should boycott this paper champion in my opinion in my opinion. Saying that, with all the controversy and outrage at the disgusting decision on Saturday, IF Beltran did come back for the rematch surly they wouldn't dare rob him again, would they?
He damn well ought to be up for a rematch. Not giving Beltran another chance would color his reign shambolic.
I watched it again and scored it 118-109, Burns won the first two rounds and that was it. The last two rounds were closer, but Burns still didn't win them, I think people were just saying he did to try and sugar coat what was otherwise a fairly one sided beating Burns received.
Plenty of money could make this fight happen in Scotland, be interesting to see if Beltrans team call Hearns/Morrisons bluff on this one. As said above i did think that if it did happen in Scotland, surely the scoring would have to be actually accurate
I had it 116-114 but watching again now and have it a lot clsoer, can see where you are coming from. Boss is coming so will have to watch part deux later.
Beltran will now hopefully get the date with Crawford based on this performance,if there is any justice at all.Burns hospitalised and then will go into hiding for the foreseeable future.
Had 3 at best in it, probably 2 though. Folk going on as if it was a landslide for Beltran, it's got out of hand. Bad decision but this was no one-sided contest that went the wrong way.
