Maxy Wrote:Yep I share those concerns. He seems to have a good jab, and lands good clean shots, which kinda makes you think his power must be really shit. The shots look good tho. I think he seems to have maybe just enough to keep an opponent wary, but not enough to do serious damage.lloyd mayflower Wrote:Anyone catch Burns's fight lastnight? I havent seen it. Combination of not having set up boxnation yet and being too sleepy to look for a stream. Glad he won tho. Pretty one sided from what I hear.Yes mate, good solid performance from Burns who was made to work but won clearly. The concerns remain about his power, if and when he faces the top tier in the division. I'd worry for him if he boxed a Rios but can't take anything away from him after last night. I did have it closer than they did on the official cards but there is no doubt Burns won clearly. |

Caught the last third of the fight. Same old stuff, Burns looked fast and sharp...but how would he do against a real world class fighter?
Katsidis and Moses are a level below true world class, despite what the commentators would have you believe. Moses never won a genuine world title, the same as Burns hasn't yet. I like Ricky. He is a good cinderella story and I would genuinely love for him to snatch a WBC, WBA or IBF belt. It would make him one of Scotland's only genuine champs of the modern era after Ken Buchanan, Walter McGowan and Jim Watt. But that WBO belt around his waist is often a curse. Once they win that strap, the likes of Katsidis and Moses is too often as good as it gets. Black Edit: You could, I suppose, count Murray Sutherland as being a Scottish champ, too...but was he more Canadian than Scottish? |

I suppose fana maybe was recognised at super feather but I still consider beating rocky martinez rickys best win of his career rennaisance |

The WBA belt is currently vacant since MArquez was stripped...although Rios would have been awarded it if he hadn't come in overweight for the Murray fight.blackbelt2003 Wrote:Caught the last third of the fight.

Del Boy Chisora goes before the BBBoC tomorrow. What's the guess on the punishment he'll receive? A massive fine? A big fine and a mediocre ban? A lengthy ban? A life ban?
