Dejan Zlaticanin from Montenegro will face Ricky Burns, just announced over here that this fight is arranged. Zlaticanin is the best boxer in my country and i think it will be good fight, one thing is sure it will be GREAT to watch.
how the **** is burns in a wbc world title eliminator on his last three outings , fast eddie writing them cheques
I don't know this guy, but Lora (dropping the hardened Dominican-Spaniard upset specialist en route to a UD), Payozoc (via KO, only man to ever stop the Uzbek), and Petrov (once destroyed by Maidana, but currently headed into the Boxcino finals) are halfway decent wins.
:conf Here is an early match, tooling over a tomato can: [yt]DDQrkM9PpsI[/yt] Well-built southpaw, good fundamentals if not terribly fluid or athletic, solid power, average speed, uses a mixture of arm-based D (turtle shell and pick-off windshield-wipers) and prefers to be on the frontfoot. Not sure how much of a handful for Burns he'll prove (and might not even crack his dozen best opponents to date, considering: Crawford, Beltran, Chelo, Mitchell, Moses, Katsidis, Cook, Evensen, Rocky, Amidu, Johanneson, Arthur and Earl) but he is no cab driver.
I have not seen the Petrov (Russian-Spaniard) fight, but I read some reports about it and the scorecards. I'd try to watch it to ight to find if it was a legit win xD
The fact that cards range from 118-110 to 116-114 and it being in Montenegro does raise a red flag... :think
Its common thing in boxing today for scorecards to be far apart from different judges, all his wins are clear i watched majority of his fights live... I can tell you this i have never seen robbery here on level of Rios - Abril, Helenius - Chisora etc, fights where "winner" won 3 rounds :deal Dejan is pretty short for this category and i wonder if he will be able to get close enough to Burns, but it will not be walk in the park.
