Prime Scott Harrison vs Ricky Burns

If only you knew the truth Ryan, Scott and Peter should be very thankful of Alex and what he done for him whilst he managed him.
But only himself to blame for the parting and Alex handing him his contract back.

 

Man vs boy. :hey

 

Burns wouldn't "destroy" Harrison like someone mentioned.

But IMO he would box his head off while Scott would just get angrier and keep coming until such time the bout would be stopped as both his eyes would be closed with the amount of jabs he would eat. Pretty sure his eyes were heavily marked against Walsh.

Burns doesn't need KO power to beat him, he would simply outbox him easily right now.

Harrison like many others would is just chasing a payday. I wouldn't fault him for trying.

 

Judging by the fight with Crawford. Ricky struggled with pressure. Scott has a Iron Chin and Ricky doesn't hit hard enough to discourage him.. I'm guessing Ricky would have to deal with the pressure. Before Crawford fight I would say Ricky wide points. Now I'm sure every coach will have the same plan with Ricky. Go after him put on pressure he doesn't seem to like it.. Would now give Scott a chance especially if he was fit and could keep the pressure on.

Prime v Prime I would go for Scott by wide points or TKO

 

Pressure from Crawford (slick, long reach, quick, switch hitter) and pressure from a shop worn Harrison is two completely different things.

 

Pressure is pressure. A good Scott Harrison would be on his chest all night.. If anything Scott is Ricky's worst nightmare.. Maybe not now but 10 years ago

 

10 years ago I'd agree mate.

Just can't see it now though.

 

What one's did he get Billy 7 is not bad, you know what grades- how many A's B' ect ect. Got 8 myself & 4 higher grades too

 

He got a GCSE in art.

He's Scotland's answer to Rodney Trotter. :hey

 

Eddie Hearn has started to follow Scott on twitter over the weekend, so hopefully he is taking notice. Feel sorry for Eddie, he went to a lot of trouble to get Ricky to Matchroom, pays him top dollar, promoted him in 3 sell out shows in Glasgow, and Ricky has been **** in all 3 fights to be fair

 

You haven't a clue what Ricky's paid and to be frank it's none of your business.
This fight WONT happen IMO

 

According to Eddie Hearn he has been really well paid for those fights (said publicly). Also your right its non of my business how much, as I never paid to watch him (thank god)but it is for the poor punters that have paid hard earned dough to watch his 3 **** performances is it not? Against Gonzalas hardly landed a punch in 6 rounds, Beltran hammered him for 12 rounds, and well Crawford he never lay a proper glove on. Is he taking fans for mugs? People have off nights, but not 3 on the bonce and to not to take it to Crawford at any stage, embarrassing. Ricky has got slower in the ring, stopped throwing double jabs, and in last fight showed no heart. Its ok bumming him up Billy, you made him and u a good few quid no doubt, but he should lay it all on the line and back up your boasts, and 8-10,000 peoples hard earned dough with good performances

 

Hearns twitter has been bombarded with fans demanding to see this match up between Burns and Harrison.

 

His trouble got him 3 sold out shows, I'm sure Eddie isn't bothered mate. it's all about the green after all with him.

And the cash cow that is Ricky Burns isn't finished yet.

 

The thing is mate if your a boxing fan who would you rather watch Ricky v Scott or say Ricky v Abril for a world title coz Scott will never get sanctioned to box for the world title again IMO, it's a very clear winner in Abril, Ricky also has the added advantage of winning a title, Wereas with respect he boxes Scott beats him how would that enhance Ricky's career?
Moog Scott was a great fighter and tough as nails but he had a huge advantage size wise on other FW he hasn't got that at LW that would will be is downfall should he box again
