ricky burns vs yakubu amidu

Should be a good fight thats for sure. Rickys got a good chin and hits reasonably hard so i'm sure unless the kids a bit special he'll come through.

 

heard this guys a real danger and if ricky fights the way he did against akaba he's in **** street. he took Ali Funeka 12 rounds and from what i read the boxing news reporter said he's got potential and the scoring was tight. Also he bangs hard.

ricky (minus new tiger tattoo) and his next opponent :good

 

If Yakubu turns out to not be an afro bum he will beat Burns.

 

Amidu is like alot of ghanian fighters at this stage of there career. A decent looking record a very good knockout percentage and one or 2 decent names on there record of which they've usually lost to. So wether Amidu's record is superfitual or not im sure we will find out, but one things for sure he will probably have a very good chin.

 

i cant disagree,it will be good warm up fight for when burns goes to over power kevin mitchell.

 

as the only brits poster who is pretty involved in the west african boxing scene. the opinion is that most ghanians fancy this boy differently. you got to understand that Bukom and Accra get mixed up. he trains in Bukom now.
from my uncle (who is a photographer in west africa did alot of boxing work) he says, has a very high guard, solid jab and decent handspeed. sadly the high guard means that he doesnt throw alot of punches per round and his kos usually come from an accumalation of punches which just happen to stop guys pretty early.


even tho people may look at his record and look at the number of dubutents he has fought. take into account that these are tough tough men he is fighting. these arnt the typical debutents you see on trailer park series or on an undercard journeyman...these guys look to win. and they arnt non boxers they know how ot fight just arnt refined and dont have th ebacking. if you make a 3 fight winning streak you will recieve alot of attention.
money is so scarce in these areas. a trainer in bukom called miguel castalanas says that most of his trainees dissappear after 12 months of training to fight in the pro's.

point im saying is that these are not record builders they are money figths for both men.


the kid can fight but im sure will get outboxed for the large majority of it.

 

FAIL

Not often I disagree with you, but I do here.

Johanneson made Burns look silly and took his best shots.

Mitchell has a better chin than Carl IMO, though probably not as much power.

Mitchell UD or late TKO.

 

is anyone going?i bought my ticket from kenny anderson last nigth.should be adecent night of boxing

 

Because Burns loses to anyone who is better than journeyman status.
