Re: Ricky Burns nearly ambushed by young thugs.. Called the police on the little kids
Frank Warren is lining these youths up as opponants for Burns next interim WBO title he fights for.
Re: Ricky Burns nearly ambushed by young thugs.. Called the police on the little kids
Good. Getting the shit kicked out of them would unlikely do anything for these kids except make them angrier and more violent when they came across someone weaker.
Police involvement however will make them think twice before attempting the same hijinks.
Re: Ricky Burns nearly ambushed by young thugs.. Called the police on the little kids
How is Burns getting criticised here? Fighting a gang of youths is like being the bear baited by a pack of dogs. If you start to chase one of them, the rest will pelt you from another angle with stones bottles etc. He's at less of a risk running away and having stuff thrown rather than trying to get involved and grab one or two of them.
Re: Ricky Burns nearly ambushed by young thugs.. Called the police on the little kids
Burns made a wise choice but I just thought it was kinda odd cuz Ive rarely heard about fighters calling the police for help.. These boxers are proud men and more times than not, we read about them getting into fights instead of dialing 911..
Burns: Operator, help help!! group of young kids are threatening me..
Dispatcher: ok ok slow down and take a breather... Identify yourself and what is going on?
Burns: I'm sure you've heard of me. I'm Ricky Burns, the champion boxer.. lol please send the swat team down immediately cuz im fearing for my life..

You are making light of it, but if he had retaliated he could have a) got into serious trouble b) get knifed or have a jagged bottle slashed across the head. The UK is a savage place with a serious youth crime problem, the last thing you should be doing is going 1 on 6 with a gang of youths.
He's a boxer and has his pride, but that doesn't mean he has to be an idiot too. I salute him on making a very sensible decision. Good choice.

In fairness, I'm not convinced everyone in his household knows who he is, let alone the 999 operator.

Yeah but this is in Glasgow. Burn's is a pro boxer, not a Power Ranger.

He did the right thing. Getting into a fight with some twats on the streets could have got him jail time. At best a fine! Not to mention the bad press. 'World champion boxer assults youths' He could have messed up his hands that would be great for his career! Or maybe one might have pulled a knife on him and killed him! Seriously pride doesn't come into it, he would have to be as stupid as ElDickBreath to jeopardize his career by fighting some youths.
In a perfect world he would have beaten the shit out of those twats and they get some jail time...alas that is not the case!
