Agreed to the fullest.. Even though I really dislike Vazquez' semi-coward style of fighting, he's definitely a better fighter than BUrns overall and will win this fight on neutral territory..Quote:

Yawn!!was only a matter of time before finitos issues with burns would arise!since when has London been Ricky burns back yard? Think ul find it actually Kevin mitchells!lol
Im just being objective, pal.. Vazquez has mastered a frustrating style of boxing that most people can't solve and Burns will be no different..
This fight is going be held in Europe which means Burns is in favor.. Are the Europeans going to favor a Mexican?? :rolleyes:
Burns obviously has the crowd advantage and he'll receive a gift..
I'm going to stay optimistic & hope the judging doesn't interfere with this fight
Vasquez' style will definitely cause problems for Burns & he's as tough as they come, but Burns is also a very good fighter
Vasquez on Pts
MYTH. Where are the biased judges? Scotland? England? Europe? What a joke. You seem to be saying that a Mexican fighter can only get a fair crack of the whip in Mexico, or possibly America, two places with plenty of dodgy desicions. Burns not only destroyed the idea that he had no stopping power in his fight with Mitchell he also proved that he was a very underestimated boxer. Ricky won't need the judges, just like Froch didn't in Nottingham, despite people insisting he would.
I doubt your talking to meQuote:

I think Ricky will win a comfortable ud without any help from the ref or the judges.Ricky has improved every time out and its been noticeable. He's become more of a complete fighter imo and has even brought a little added and needed power up with him. Perhaps 130 was killing him because he did fight much heavier earlier in his career.
You could be right about thatQuote:

Burns has been a study of improvement, he can box, has shown punching power recently, has a good beard
This is going to be a very difficult task for both guys imo
Now now what has Ricky Burns done wrong but KO, KEV swallow that pride now Bud.;DQuote:

I never did find out the day when Mitchell all of a sudden became good. How long the Burns groups gonna keep milking that win? But than again what else they gonna use? The Cook knock out? Anyways, Burns did look nice when he stopped Mitchell. But Mitchell was never all that good anyway. And if I remember correctly was he not dealing with legal issues going into the fight? Burns stopping Mitchell might impress a lot of people. But that's cuz they see it for more than it really isQuote:

There is no such thing as the Burns group. Ricky has earnt his own reputation, and Mitchell didn't suddenly become krap because Burns, outboxed, outfought and outpunched him. Credit where credit is due.
This is one of the fights I'm most looking forward to this year. I'm pulling for Vasquez because I think he's a great all-around boxer. I believe he's vastly underrated. On the other hand, Burns is legitimate too. If he beats Vasquez, does he put himself on the list of greatest Scottish boxers?
That's how I feel tooQuote:

What are you on about, A KO is a win and you can only win lose or draw in boxing, you are makingQuote:
