I thought Burns won clearly tonight... IMO he lost first 2 rounds then went on to pretty much every round from 3-9. lost 10-11 then 12 was a toss up! I scored it 116-112. Johnny Nelson had it a draw which us a joke IMO. Kinda feel sky give Burns a rough deal... If he beats Broner there can be no criticism over his achievements!
Burns by 1 but at least 3 rounds which i could see going the other way. Disappointing fight at the end of the day.
I had Burns losing the fight by 1-2 rounds and thought a draw was on the cards. The judge scoring this fight by 8 rounds to Burns should really go back to judging salsa.
He's a domestic/euro level bum who is backed by british corruption. His hands have no right to be anywhere near those belts. He has now stolen lucky wins/draws against beltran, Gonzalez and now this Relikh. They all beat the **** out of him and lost
The Beltran result was the biggest **** take I've ever seen in recent years. Beltran didn't just win, he won comfortably and gave Burns a dislocated jaw to boot. Hearns mentioned Crawford potentially for a unification, Crawford won't just outclass him like the first fight, he'll hurt him this time out IMO and no chance he gets close to a half-motivated Broner.
This content is protected What were the punch completion stats because i never seen so many fresh air shots in my life. Burns is the luckiest guy in boxing history to be a three division champ.
Hope he gets a nice payday aginst broner then hang his gloves up as a 3 weight world champ. he deserves it with all the sh*t that happened to him with warren.
Is this just pathetic trolling or what? Burns has fought 12 (TWELVE) world title contests across different organisations and on different promotions. His conspiratorial aptitude would put the mafia to shame. Three weight world champion, get over it.
sadly he is euro level, nothing changes that. hes won one bout at world level since this so called 3-weight fiasco began, the rest have been a series of fixes that if anyone had any honour, would make them sick to the teeth. That at best qualifies him as ONCE barely world level. not anymore. That said, he has at leats got back his old confidence, if not able to touch world class again.
Relikh got talked up during the fight due to the ricky hatton connection, he did what any challenger for a world title should do he had a go and started well after round two ricky got the jab and right hand going and imo shut him out til round 9, fair play to relikh he was told to go for it and came out banging last two rounds, ricky tired against a much younger guy who punched hard but he was way ahead upto rounds 11-12, Relikh was a bit of a twat saying burns ran from him as he had his head boxed off from range rnds 2-10 and if burns was a banger fight would have been over in 8
