Eddie Hearn

He just gave Ricky burns the chance to unify 2 world titles it's not hearns fault that Ricky couldn't do it.. not hearns biggest fan but you can't blame him for that!

just

 

If we are honest Ricky has heart but basic skill and isn't very quick but his opponent also had very basic skill but quicker, fitter and axkward but didn't stop throwing the straight left to body & Head all fight and connected all the time because there was not any Head movement or side stepping from Ricky at all. Basic rules of boxing is hit but don't get hit and Ricky was a sitting target. He's a legend for what he's achieved anyway and a top pro, pity he lost money with FW as he deserves every penny he earned. Well done Hearn for taking him on too and making him a nest egg for his future. Ricky best fight some big U.K. names now and cash in.

 

Not sure how the promoter can be blamed. Indongo may of been wrong for Burns but if a fighter isn't ready to fight s unification fight regardless of the opponent I would say the problem lies with the fighter.

We can't on one hand moan that champions don't fight champions then on the other hand criticise a promoter for making a unification fight.

You can't just look at the risk without the reward. Burns wins and his in line for some great future paydays.

 

So because Indongo is southpaw and Burns can't fight southpaws you'd rather he didn't try to take on the challenge of unifying the belts? That's everything that is wrong with boxing.

Burns should be grateful that Hearn got him the Indongo fight when tons of promoters were trying to get him to fight their 140lber.

How about someone trains Burns to handle southpaws. You can't blame Hearn for securing a unification fight that's ridiculous.

Indongo is also 34 years old.

 

Hearn don't care it's all about ££££ with him.

 

I hear what your saying Billy, but if Burns and his team pushed for the unification fight.. what's Hearn to do?

 

Definitely a career to be proud of, he's given some big nights to Scottish boxing... in fact he's carried Scottish boxing single handily for a number of years now.

Hard as nails.

 

No issue with Hearn here as Indongo was a largely unknown quantity and a unification was possible for Ricky.

 

I don't doubt that. But that's still not a legit reason to avoid taking on a unification clash even if Burns is not a true 140lber.

 

For arguments sake one could agree however nobody before Saturday night was calling indongo a world class southpaw.
