    Would size or skill prevail?
    Who wins this matchup?

    Burns is impressive in some areas but his defense isn’t amazing. He was very hittable even against Gunner Moir even when he shouldn’t have been. His offensive output is good though and he had good power which could give Ray trouble

    Burns was good, but not good enough. Think of it like a closer Jones Jr - Ruiz (Apologies for having to compare Tommy to John).
