    Burns down in the first then bashes Martinez up good in a total war, wobbles him several times on the road to a convincing win

    Judges scorecards 115-112 115-112 115-113 and the NEW WBO Strapholder Ricky Burns! :happy:good

    Grats to Burns, he fought with a lot of heart. Hes a champion now and no one can take that from him.

    Props to Martinez too for fighting a brave fight and in the other man's hometown but he was never going to be something great. Just a limited fighter that was a beneficiary of a lousy division.

    Well done Ricky! A genuinely nice guy. If he had more dig he would have had Martinez out of there with some of the clean shots he managed to get off. some great uppercuts.

    a big well done for Burns - he did really well tonight - Martinez showed nothing all he could do was swing wildly and had no skill at all. I give ricky alot of credit for his performance but i still dont rate the guy (one of the worst world champs imo) although hes a nice guy and i hope he proves me wrong

    If Burns stays disciplined and focused from now on he could hold on to belt for a good while
