Ricky Burns is now WBO Lightweight Champ - Official

JMM at number 1

KRAPency at number 10

I have no problem with Ricky though - he won the interim against a strong fighter and is defending against a former champion. As long as he mixes in that sort of company you'll hear no complaints from me.

 

Brillliant news !Scotlands 2nd two weight world champion !

 

no problem with ricky burns he deserves to be world champ (also doesnt he deserve to become world champ in the ring?)

but it does sadden me that britain has two world champions and neither won their belts in the ring

 

It's not ideal, but neither Cleverly or Burns can be held accountable for that.

Braehmer was ****ing about and JMM vacated, or was stripped, or whatever.

Anyone want to nominate themselves as mandatory challenger? then fill this baby in and get yourself in shape!

 

yeah fair point just would rather have them gone down the old route (none of this interim crap) of striping braehmer and jmm and having clev and burns fight for the vacant titles

 

Wouldn't happen, Burns has been ducking Clev for years.

 

In a perfect world that would be, well, perfect.

 

LMAO Done i'm thinking before Easter as the eggs will surely pile on the pounds. Also whats the crack with the KIDS DRUG FREE logo!!!

WBO - Waste of Blood and Oxygen

 

If anyone deserves it its a guy like Ricky Burns.

 

Nice one Ricky, so Marquez ducked Burns amazing!!!

Can you leave FWP so you get the kudos you deserve and probably a much bigger following. On SKY Burns could be huge. :good

 

Not a hope in hell my friend

 

i think you'll find Ricky did win his first belt by the conventional route
