Rocky Martinez-Ricky Burns - Saturday 9pm Sky Sports 1 - Who Wins?

[Fenster]

Burns has struggled with pressure exerted by British level fighters - Carl Johanneson, a faded Michael Gomez and Kevin O'Hara. Quite simply he can't punch for toffee. He can't keep good fighters off.

This fight will be a carbon copy of Martinez-Cook, no? Burns will look good for a few rounds boxing and moving until the Puerto Rican catches up to him.

7/4 for the stoppage is a decent-ish bet - yes or no?

Deffo good bet Matinez will stop him imo.

I read earlier the Martinez KO opened up at 5/2!!! What a bet that would have been, I need to get back on the ball.

How do you see Smith-Simpson going? Seems a lot of confidence behind the underdog Smith

I don't know mate I have been super impressed with Simpson recently and Smith with all this talent like I said in another thread alot of fellow pro's say he is the best prospect in the country, all the money is for Simpson they opened up more or less 5/6, I fancy Simpson I think it has come a little to early for Smith. But deffo tough one to call.

Martinez should beat him handily. Can't quite believe Burns has landed a shot. Good luck to him though.

That KO is into 6/4 now. I've gone for Smith in a few doubles and trebles too.

(Do any Brits, apart from a few of us, even watch boxing on here if a "name" is not involved )
