Burns v Kiryl Relikh - Trained by Hatton, what's his chance this weekend?

I can't take that list seriously due to lack of Broner.

 

Will be very surprised if Burns loses this fight.

 

Well at least we won't have Jim Watt droning on about Ricky's jaw if it starts going pearshaped.

It's in Glasgow so Burns isn't losing on the cards regardless of what actually happens, I'll play safe and predict a Burns UD.

 

Oi no fair .... im Glasgow born and bred and damn proud of it .... If i recall correctly Beltrans left hand took a pounding that night ?!
Hope Ricky gets the job done in good fashion on Sat. Guy deserves a nice payday before he has to call it a day, not many fighters out there have made so little money in the game after being a 3 weight world champ (regardless how legit others think it is)

 

Haha. The funny thing is Sky obviously left that moron out for fear it would undermine their little list comparing the Rickster to ATG's and HOF'ers.

 

Just a reminder for everyone that wants to watch it don't forget it is Friday night.....got to say used to enjoy the Friday fight night's on Sky but probably a one off as football on Saturday in Glasgow World Cup qualifier.

Yes money wise boxing and contract litigation eats up a lot of hard earned fighters money.The lawyers the main winners.

 

Beltrans left hook, Superb

I hope Ricky wins, I really do, I wasnt having a pop at Burns I was just saying I can't see Burns getting done on the cards in Glasgow.

 

Comon Ricky - do it for the UK and Scotland's Mike Towell.

 

Relikh won but got robbed. Such a shame really.

Talk about having enough of seeing robberies.

 

I had it a draw. Wasn't expecting much from Relikh but he impressed me I can see him being in some very good fights and potentially winning a world title in the future.

 

He didn't win.

Why can't people score fights by scoring punches? Relikh hit a ton of Gloves and arms especially in the middle rounds.

He had some success in the last 3 but one good small burst doesn't win you a round.

Burns did his eardrum in the 7th.

Was in control until he got sloppy in the 9th or 10th and started trading and got caught by one big shot.

I had it to Burns by 3 rounds.

 

Never a robbery, no chance.burns edged it just.if relikh had a better engine he would taken it....Burns age is starting to creep up on him or its the move up in weight cos he wasn't as strong at the end as he should have been

 

Close fight. Relikh took the early rounds. Burns the middle then back to relikh again at the end. 118-110 ridiculous scoring plus that was a knockdown in the 12th for me. Think ricky just done enough tbh.

Pretty sure the commentary team are just there to try to trick people from start to finish. Burns misses punches...great work from ricky. Relikh hits with good punches...there just arm punches everyone.

I know theres big money at stake but these fighters deserve a fair commentary at the very least. Putting their lifes on the line in the ring disgraceful that they cant even get a fair shake.

They need to be sensible with burns... been in some hard fights. Getting up in years. Top level fighters will take him apart.

 

Didn't agree with the wideness of the cards 118-110 a joke....but calls of robbery are way wide of the mark Relikh won the first two and finished the last three well.The middle rounds all Burns I had it by two rounds Burns.His experience of fighting so many 12 round fights edged it his way,stuck to his boxing Relikh was frustrated at times but a great effort.

Relikh will come again especially for getting the pacing of his first 12 rounder under his belt and will of won a lot of fans with his fan friendly style.

For Burns he gets a nice payday beckons against AB.I think he gets stopped in this one just after the middle rounds but at 33 makes perfect sense to take the biggest fight on the table.
