Not making excuses for Ricky as I was gutted for Beltran, but here's an X-ray of his broken jaw. Big props to Burns for continuing with that, total clean break which must've been agony

Burns to have plate fitted following broken jaw PHOTO

I concur, Beltran was a class act and you have to feel gutted for him. Burns showed a lot of bottle though to fight ten rounds in that amount of pain. I remember his trainer Billy Nelson giving him grief saying "stop moaning, you are a champion and you only have to fight for 6 more minutes" or something like that


Here is a bigger pic of Ricky's X-Ray.
