  1. Seems like he's made of glass. Pillow fisted featherweight Burns is hurting him at will near enough.

    With the knockdown, the thought in my head was confirmed, Rocco probably isn't finishing this fight.

    di roccos steller 40=1 record shows you just how hard it is to win in italy as he is as poor a world title challenger as you will see.

    Not sure what R-Burns has done to earn this title shot at 140 after going 3-3 in his last 6 and not beating anyone of any substance in any of those 3 wins. However, he's a very nice guy so I'm pleased for him. Di Rocco doesn't appear to be much at all. He's better looking than R-Burns though. Not that R-Burns is a bad looking chap or anything. It's just an Italian thing. :yep

  13. How many world champions will Eddie Hearn have after this? Plus let's not forget Bellew will bring home the bacon tomorrow.

    Closer round because of Rocco's body work but he had to get hit with good shots towards the end of the round by Burns.
