If you blur your eyes a little bit, particularly in the forum's default font, burns and bums look very very similar. Just saying...

Burns has done it!!!!!

Fair play to him, Ricky dominated this guy, although in reality it did show up why Di Rocco has mainly competed at the lower levels, rather than moving up to the world stage. Burns deserves a round of applause, but no doubt in my mind that there will be plenty of guys lining up to take that belt off him.

I think Burns vs the Postol-Crawford winner would be a really exciting unification fight These trinkets these days, the WBA have to be the worst. The Di Rocco guy was the number 1 ranked, apparently.

Good performance from Ricky. That's the best I've seen him box in years. Landing his shots, avoiding punches and using the ring well

3 weight world champ! in the history books now

He has brokers old belt and that's a fight that's been close to happening for years as they've moved up the weights together. Love to see burns maul adrien in Scotland.
Well done Ricky

Broner would beat the shit out of Ricky Burns, and I dislike Broner as much as anyone. Burns has about as much claim to being a champion at 140 as Charles Martin did at HW.

We'll see. Porter and Maidana mauled Broner. Ricky might not hit as hard as them but he's stronger than malignaggi who pushed Broner all the way.
In Scotland I'm not sure if Broner would get a decision with his lazy style and if Crawford can't drop Ricky I doubt Broner can either
