I'm sure at the time that Paul Pender had no business being in the ring with Robinson let alone beating him twice.
Burns just needs to keep on the same road map. He's got an optional now and he might want to use it or go for Abril or Vazquez. I don't see Broner coming back to 135 and he was all wrong for Ricky before Saturday and still is.
THey are thrown under a bus just as quick as they are put on a high horse. Seriously, people talk about Ricky like he was world class and giving him a chance against Broner. He has one name on his record, Martinez, where he fought well but struggled. He then looked good against average fighters. He was over hyped and this is what happens to overhyped fighters.
