Ricky Burns to vacate and move to lightweight

He is pretty slick not in the style of a Zab Judah but he times his overhand right excellently.

 

Yes, and he had to be the beneficiary of an incorrect decision to win that fight. Ponce deserved the decision but didn't get it, which doesn't say much for Broner, considering the fact that Ponce is in no way a super-feather, and Broner once fought at light-welter.

You're overrating him. For the most part all he is, is speed. Which he doesn't even implement well.

 

His footwork is poor, apart from that i quite rate the lad

 

Why aren't people acknowledging the probability that Burns isn't going to get a fair crack of the whip against him in the States. Seems the vultures on here are just waiting for the opportunity to **** on boxers.

 

Cos we dont rob anyone do we mate atsch Victor Polo anyone :smooch

 

burns is a joke he has 3 easy title fights and when he has to fight a top ranked fighter his now says he cant make weight

 

Can we have some official word on this from Billy?

I have no reason to believe Morrison would be bringing this up if there was no truth to it, but i'll give them the benefit of the doubt before I criticise them.

 

That has absolutely no relevance to my point whatsoever.

 

no surprise whatsoever, this is boxing of today

we might lose so lets vacate and seek greener pastures, burns should never of been world champion for so long had he fought the best, now he claims to be the best but avoids the best opposition

 

point to me in the article where Burns himself states that he can't make the weight

 

This talk of being robbed in the States is bollocks. It's hurdles like this that define a quality fighter.

Okay, if that's the reason, fair enough. Doesn't mean Ricky, or rather his team (AND NO BILLY I DON'T MEAN YOU!!!) gets a free pass and his fans can't get irate.

I for one am very confident Ricky will do a job on Broner, just by watching them both. Broner is abysmal, like a worse Berto, which is saying something.

And saintsmike your logic is totally skewed son. Honestly, your posts on this thread are laughable, and prove you've hardly watched any Broner and are just picking up on hyperbolic tidbits you've read of him. Either that or your ability to analyse fights and objectively rate a fighters ability is poor, I imagine it's a bit of both.

 

I dont give a **** but this is a clear case of ****in ducking. If the mandatry was someone like his 3 previous defenses you can be ****in sure he wouldnt be moving up.

 

The fact BN hasn't been on calling us English ****s suggests this could be true

 

:deal - Twice

 

Marry me.
