Burns V Linares

Yea his performance against Indongo was bad, but he was not as his best weight class either.

I think he has gotten over the jaw issie now though, I don't really see a problem with this fight at all to be honest. If Burns loses and badly then he will have to drop down a level or call it a day, if he wins he puts himself right back into the mix.

 

Burns isn’t winning...it’s a terrible fight because he’s a shadow of his former self.

 

Linares has been knocked out 5 times and tasted the canvas on numerous occasions, not by KO artists either. This is winnable, obviously it's lose-able too, Linares has largely been a classy operator throughout his career so this is by no means an easy fight. Whilst Burns doesn't have KO power he can win this, I really hope he does and the two of them can then retire having had fantastic careers. Jorge will always be King Jorge and Ricky, well, he's a credit to the sport.

 

Please stop

 

Reports are saying Linares is fighting in Japan in September so Linares vs Burns is probably OFF.

 

Aw well not that it would be missed by the majority on here m8. Price v chisora is all the rage along with dave allens rebirth to the fiery depths of area levels.

 

Feels like Burns has been pro forever

 

Heard rumours of some undercard fights which were not great TBH -- pity though as would have been good for Scotland to have Matchroom back again

 

Burns needs to get out fighting ASAP

 

I know Linares has lost a few recently by KO but he still is a level above Burns.

I think it’ll be a similar fight Linares had vs Corolla he’ll just outclass him to a points decision.

 

Cordina is the best prospect in Britain just now imo patera will let us know.

 

Eddie should do the right thing and make Ritson/Burns.

 

Lewis beats Ricky, remember Ricky’s lightweight and Lewis super lightweight

 

Plus isn’t Lewis and Robbie Davis Jnr fighting for British and european

 

Ricky won’t fight Ritson or Cordina or anyone like that. He wants to cash out against a decent name. I don’t think he’s willing to let his legacy be tarnished by a prospect.
