Ricky Burns vs. Julius Indongo & Scott Cardle vs. Robbie Barrett RBR.

clever matchmaking but burns has fought some very good fighters, Even the Mad Bee Relikh seemed to be a good talent and he is relatively unknown. Indongo sparked out that highly ranked russian, who was ranked in top 3. Then you have kastidis, beltran, Crawford, mitchell, zlaticanin, figueroa, good domestic names like - alex arthur,gomez, cook. one of them is p4p, the others are former world champions or contenders, european champs. etc

 

I always thought burns was a midget but hes 5ft10 which is average height

 

Meanwhile Crawfish, who's best win was a tentative chess match vs the 140lb version of Wlad Klitschko with Malik Scotts power (LMAO), is fighting a genuine beast in Diaz where he will be forced to fight the entire fight as an orthdox fighter or get his ish pushed in (LMAO)

Diaz KO8 Crawfish is my official prediction.

I wonder if Kellerman will be saying Diaz is p4p #1 after June

 

I Burns gets stopped.gets carried away with the crowd and gets into a brawl rather than boxing.

 

Going with the underdog Indongo.

 

I don't think he's 5ft 10, he looked exactly the same height as Crawford when he fought him

 

Ricky Burns by TKO mid 9th

 

How long until we have some actual fights on? Anyone know?

 

I believe Sky Sports coverage starts at 7:30pm in 10 minutes, so probably about 20 minutes until the opener.

 

Here is a documentary by Trans World Sport for Julius Indongo

I have to say to call a three weight world champion 'not that good' shows a poor knowledge of Ricky Burns. He has had a bit of luck on the cards but has granite determination and a solid chin. He is unifying the division due to Indongo having a freak knock out, nothing to do with clever matchmaking. No way he was getting near Troysky and Crawford, an elite P4P has beaten him already (UD). Agreed, his style is not everyone's flavor but the guy keeps on coming and against the odds has come back from some losses that would have put other fighters into retirement - to position of unifying a division.

 

holy **** have not watched transworld sport since i was a little kid, can't believe they still have the same narrator, That just took me way back and hit me in the feels.

 

Same here, I completely forgot that Transworld even existed until this video was just linked.

 

I simply mean that he is not as good in a H2H sense as his accomplishments would indicate. Clearly compared to your average boxer he's very good and has had an extremely successful career, and I also agree about his determination and solid chin.

But there are definitely better fighters who never became three-weight world champions due to lack of opportunities.

 

What is your prediction on the fight?
