He's a little better than ordinary domestic level, but he's not top level by any stretch of the imagination. De Leon - a heavy-handed southpaw. Litzau/Burns - light-punching orthodox fighters. A win earns Broner a Bilbo strap too. This is good matchmaking by Al Haymon. For Burns, he'll get his highest pay day, 200,000 British Pounds.
This is the same Ricky Burns who was clearly beaten by Alex Arthur, no disrespect to Ricky Burns who has done well and better than expected. But i didn't really rate Roman Martinez that highly either, and his opposition since Roman Martinez has been very weak and handpicked. Because his team know he's weak belt holder and there making the most of it.
Burns' manager said this fight is OFF due to weight issues.. Sounds like an excuse to me but a wise move I guess.. Burns didnt have a snowball's chance in hell..
Broner/Diego Magdaleno would be nice..
Moving upto lightweight apparently. He's gonna struggle there. Has no power in his punches and will facing tougher, bigger hitters. He would struggle to beat the majority of the top ten in the weight.
Still, it's all set for a Warren in house Mitchell/Burns WBO title within the next 18 months or so....![]()
