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.
If you don't mind......¿Could you explain me in details why you said Burns "Quickly adjusted after round one...?
It's a great comment because it helps people to try to see and understand boxing even more.
Hope people like you keep posting more!.
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.

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.
