Ricky looked the business tonight. Great power, skills and combinations. He has taken his game to a new level entirely. I remember when he won the title vs Martinez there were people on here saying he was a KTFO waiting to happen. Theyre looking pretty stupid right now.
Best fighter in Scottish history and Britains best fighter right now. Frochs a close second but he will never be the best in his weight class whilst Wards around. Burns however is possibly already the best lightweight.
Hopfully burns now a gets a few big pay days he deserves it!wot do you guys think the right move next is opponent wise?
Burns was never going to lose this fight, i was very impressed when he beat Katsidis, Mitchell isn't in the same class. It will take a very good fighter to beat Ricky Burns in the next 12 months.
Well i did say Burns would win by stoppage , although i did think it would take a bit longer than that.
Well done Ricky .
Ricky never normally punches that hard, shows what hate against an Englishman can do.
I was pulling for Kev. Hats off to Burns.
Props to Ricky Burns.
It was reported today he'll be fighting again in December. Good to see top fighters like Ricky remaining active. :)
I can't imagine Adrian Broner ever being brave enough to fight him in Scotland, even though it would draw a huge crowd there (while "The Problem" can't draw flies in the USA).
I was really impressed with Burns. Quickly adjusted after round one and landed the cleaner harder shots. Definitely didn't expect him to be stopping Mitchell.
I think he gives anyone at lightweight a great fight, although, his next two fights will be John Murray and Scott Harrison both for WORLD titles the Frank Warren way. Ricky Burns seriously deserves the big vegas fights and he should beg Warren for them. Time for him to face truly world level opponents and test himself against the finest. Seems to want it too...... Good kid.
Yea murray and harrison would be a huge step backwards i think he beats any1 apart from maybe broner
Haha spot on masterQuote:

You're correct. Adrian Broner has Al Haymon behind him + a lucrative relationship with HBO. The Ring Magazine had him on the cover of the latest issue, suggesting that he is the next superstar in boxing. I doubt Broner would go to Scotland when HBO/GB will already pay him a lot to fight in the USA.Quote:

Who should Burns face next?
Hey, I'm no boxing analyst by any stretch, that can be noted by my already lowly position on the Prediction League, but it just seemed to me that Burns picked up the distance spot on after the first. Mitchell landed some good jabs in the first and after that none so notable, so suggests to me Burns reading of the distance was very good. I'm sure someone will be in here to shoot me with a better analysis but thats what I thought.Quote:

He was very clever with the distance and footwork. He probably does a lot that he doesn't get credit for. I'd say that there aren't a huge amount of fighters that can adjust as the fight goes along. Lots just roll with their plan.
Kevin certainly won the first round, I watched it again to see why Mitchell did not use his right hand more, but could not find a reason like he hurt it. Burns took over in the 2nd and landed fast counter rights and pushed Kevin back. Loved it when both were beating their chest and went to war!!!!Quote:

Cracking fight and I am definatley a Burn's fan now. Would love to see him batter Rios and Broner, he could do it if they could be bothered to make weight.
You said your not not a boxing analyst but i don't use to see explanations like yours from most "analyst" around.....it cames to my mind jim lampley saying "....¡hard left hand by pacquiao!...¡hard left hand by pacquiao!...¡hard left hand by pacquiao!.....And then i watched the extraordinary "Decoding Pacquiao-Marquez 3" video and i asked to myself....¿what i've been watching?Quote:

And predictions not necessary measure your knowledge.I remember Teddy Atlas saying David Lemieux was too young and too strong for Marco Antonio Rubio before the fight, and you remember what happened that night.
I like when you say..."there aren't a huge amount of fighters that can adjust as the fight goes along. Lots just roll with their plan".It makes me think Burns adjusted his style to a puncher....because he's a slick outside fighter....am i right?.
Great post my friend.
