Burns would be favourite IMO. Who has Broner really fought? He got a gift decision against a super-bantamweight Ponce De Leon, and beat that midget Perez. I think Broner is talented but he hasn't mixed in the same company as Burns, Ricky could just be too big and busy for Broner.
Burns would struggle to catch him clean IMO. Broner would probably sit back and force Burns to fight on the front foot. Ricky Burns is fast but I still don't feel his speed would be enough and he'd get countered a lot. At this stage I think it would probably go 12 rounds because Burns has a good engine, defence and chin but I think Broner is just the better overall.
In the first half of the fight, probably. Broner has lazy patches in his fights, and seems to lose focus, I'm not convinced he has a great engine either, Ponce completely took over in the second half of there fight, and TBH he landed with regularity at times. Burns best chance would be to go to the body early, and slow Broner down.
lots of funny posts imo, hope it happens so I can bump the thread and laugh I have a lot of respect for Burns though, I'm not underrating or disrespecting him
this sort of shite always appears after a Burns fight in an attempt to bait Billy Nelson into a response. pathetic really.
I think Burns extra 3 inches (no homo) makes the difference... Burns points, pretty close maybe 1 or 2 rounds in it IMO.
Fact of the matter is we don't know if he can go late, and if he can how will his power hold up. I honestly think that he's the most overrated fighter on these boards, a bit of a flavour of the month....Hes so wild and clumsy that when he comes across a class accurate counter puncher he'll come a cropper
