It's no Broner fight but it's the next best thing. Vazquez must really be scared shitless to fight Broner when he opts to take less money to go to the UK and risk getting robbed. I hope Burns whups Vazquez' ass but I see a scenario where Vazquez deserves a 7-5, maybe even 8-4 type decision and gets robbed in the UK. Hopefully the winner will actually fight Broner.
http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=454479 For all the people saying that Burns was scared of Broner,watch the first three or four minutes of the video in the thread I've linked. If that was any other fighter saying the same about any other big fight,it would make perfect sense. But not in spastic land where everyone should dance to Broner's tune.Too many people are ignoring the obvious,and it's interesting that Burns asked for Broner to put the date back and they said no. That date had to be filled and it was too short notice for a top name,which is why he's fighting Rees.
"Ricky Burns is a poor mans Hatton" People seriously underrate Burns, americans talk **** about him saying Broner would knock 7 shades of **** out of him without even knowing his style.
[CODE][/CODE] you have never seen Burns fight, Have you, maybe once but that's it - dont even pretend
So.....this is where the Euro fights somebody other than his biggest challenge and the Euros claim it vaults him past the true number one while the Americans criticize the opponent who is likely on par or better than anybody the American has beaten. Somehow this sounds familiar.
Ricky was always an underdog, but he kept coming through. That's what made me a huge fan. He's a regular down to earth guy & he's worked very hard to get where he is. I don't understand why people hate on him. The fact that everyone underrates him makes him even more dangerous.
