Unlucky tonight Jeffrodamus. Burns didn't really let your man into the fight except for a few fleeting moments where he hurt him briefly. Consolation is...you looked pretty stylish on Sky Sports.
Cudos on the celtic gear jeff :goodTake it that was Mikey's idea? i think Burns has the style to beat Martninez and isn't as vulnerable as Cook. Lets not forget Cook was outboxing him until he started getting involved inside. Burns could keep him at long range all night. Still i'd like to see him in a couple more domestic fights, Mitchell would be a tough fight.
Just back from the fight Anderson broke a rib early in the fight, his brother came out and told us, Dean powell wanted to pull him out, dont know how the **** he carried on, was taken to hospital after.
nice one lads hope you enjoyed it and felt a little involved by having an eastsider there. We told sky that we had a man in our corner called norman stone just for you lot. Ha ha . . . Anyway great night. Rickys a cracking little fighter. It was great been there and experiencing such an incredible atmosphere. Night night.
that was me pal. The other guy is kev maree mikes main trainer. He did a great job and got mike to turn back the years physically.
Nice one Jeff, people shouldn't take the ****. Credit to Gomez and the team for getting him out there when there's clearly nothing in the tank.
Unlucky to Team Gomez (Jeff), Gomez has got alot of heart, Burns boxed well. Good to see a fellow ESBer on Sky Sports.
Just started watching it now. Some bloke pulls the sombrero off then in the background you can see Jeff getting it back
Just finished watching the fight. Awesome stuff from Burns. His jab, combinations and handspeed were all fantastic. He didn't allow Gomez to do his stuff on the inside fought his own fight. If he only he had a bit more power.... It's time for Gomez to hang 'em up now. He's had a great career but this fight showed he hasn't got it anymore. His best round was easily the 4th where he actually hurt Burns with a great uppercut but apart from that it was all one way traffic. Just one more thing, Howard Foster is a wanker.
Gomez said in the interview after the fight he wants 2 easy 4/6 round fights to get up to 50 fights as a pro. No one will begrudge him that.
Billy nelson has done a great job. He's made burns a much more compact fighter and his body punching was troubling mike a lot more then was apparent- I would give burns a 50-50 with Martinez, he's a really nice kid and hope he does well.
