To be fair mate im shocked by some on esb, there understanding of boxing lets them down badly at times
Exactly billy :happy soon to be Scotland's 1st 3 weight world champion :good Fighting pride of Scotland:good
He moves up he will loose to the top guys, Ricky needs to stay at 135, fight a unification if he beats Crawford, as was pointed out even if he looses to Crawford plenty of domestic big fights at 135, Burns at 140 just won't work i like Ricky but Provodnikov would batter him , to big powerful, to much pressure ect. Provodnikov barley lost to p4p top 5 WW Bradley he isn't going to be beaten by anyone coming up from 135.
Not officially he hasn't, but there isn't a single person out there other than you who thought Beltran didn't win that fight.
To be fair I can see where a draw is possible the only scorecard I disagree with was the American 115-112 for Ricky but the 114-114 and 114-113 Beltan cards I can see a case for both I watched it again last night and scored it 114-113 for Beltran.
I think Crawford beats ricky but the lack of respect ricky gets is shocking, burns isnt an easy fight for anyone at lightweight or 140, hes an underrated fighter who is one of the sports good guys..
Mate i'm a fan of Ricky and wish him all the best and want him to smash Crawford, But that Beltran fight was Daylight Robbery! Beltran won that clear i'm sorry their is no case for Burns to win or draw that fight if that happened to Ricky in America everyone would shout robbery and rightly so, Beltran won and won clear one of the biggest robberies of 2013.
I like Ricky but he was clearly beat by Beltran, regardless of how the judges had it. Deep down you know that as well as everyone else does.
