Say two or three years ago when I saw Burns lose to Arthur, and then get beaten by Johanneson, I thought he might be a gatekeeper type fighter that would often end up in eliminators and never quite make it to the main event. I'm chuffed to say I was wrong. Burns has grown into a very good fighter, and I think he can really compete at the very top level.
