Ricky Burns vs. Andreas Evensen

Round 2 was fairly close, though I think Burns landed the harder, cleaner shots. This has the makings to be a good fight, so let's hope it carries on like this.

 

Round 3 for Burns. I think Evensen may be struggling with the height difference because a lot of his head shots are landing on Burns's gloves. He looks sharp though and he's game.

 

Round 4 to Burns. Close round and Evensen is starting to land a few more shots. He's getting back into it, though Burns still looks good.

 

Round 5 to Burns. Close but clear. As in the other rounds, he's landing the cleaner, harder shots, including the punch of the night, a really good right hand around 2:10. Burns is looking good and Evensen won't give in.

 

Round 6 was a good round and very even. I'd maybe give it to Evensen, who landed quite a few good shots towards the end. Burns needs to calm down a little bit. Sharpen up his shots, work on accuracy and he'll be ok.

 

Round 7 was close again, like the last. I gave that one to Evensen but Burns came back well to take the 7th. I think he's won the fight, barring an unlikely stoppage loss or any knockdowns.
