I think it's only a matter of time before Burns KO % looks better. His shot selection is second to none but he' had a run of gritty opponents. He's done himself justice tonight... Gd man
Fantastic stuff from Burns tonight. Jab was exemplary. Score cards may have been a little on the wide side but Burns won by at least 3 rounds. Made up for him and his trainer. Great shot in the arm for Scottish boxing.
Yeah well done :good the tactics was spot on and Burns fought out of his skin, I had him winning by 2 rounds, good fight.
Fantastic performance well done to Ricky Burns and well done to his team. Billy has said it for as long as any one would listen that Ricky was world class and the kid showed it tonight. Great stuff boys well done
Well done ricky, great boxing and gritted your teeth to get through the tough points in the fight! IF Burns Mitchell happens, Burns will box rings around him.
Reminds of another Scot: Jim Watt A fair domestic career, destined for nothing much, then has an Indian summer... I was not sold on Ricky, but it actually it may take the next Arguello to beat him, he is that good. I thought it was Guy Fawkes night, but I stand corrected: Remember, remember the fifth of November, as it is Burns night! I guess 30 years down the line, our Grandchildren will be moaning about that awful Scottish commentator/analyst, and we will be suggesting, they show a bit of respect and hark back to a Bonfire night back at the start of the Century...
