Ricky Burns-Michele Di Rocco - Sat/Sky

[Dia bando]

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

Porter and Maidana would have mauled Burns as well, these are bigger and better fighters you are talking about. The guy Burns fought tonight was terrible, every good opponent he's faced in recent years has beaten him. Thought the Figueroa fight could have gone either way but I don't rate Figueroa much.

Yes the European Champion was poor but he was the number 1 contender, but Burns beat him fair and square and you can only beat who's in front of you.!
Burns maynot be the the best but the beast Crawford could not stop him.!!!
Ricky lost to so called number 1 in Crawford he was not overwhelmed or Ko was he .
Ricky Burns has done it the hard some defeats in the start of his career, he became a Champion at 2 weight, got screwed lost his money, came back lost his title , and some defeats regrouped and came back and won his 3rd title.!
Well done Ricky a really nice guy and more a decent boxer not a great one, but if you want a role model for boxing you just found him.
