Ricky Burns v Julius Indongo - rd-by-rd/Sky Sports

Wasn't it burns that was getting beaten by that skinny legged dude? The other dude was miles ahead and only had to see the last two rounds out and he would have had an easy win but he quit on his stool, I think it was the fight before the Beltran fight...then again I think I could be making this up entirely

You are and to think primo trusts you as his promoter/manager.

That fight definitely happened with someone, I can't remember who it was though

I demand you and primo by association be drug tested.

If actually be clean, I've not touched an illegal substance for about 5 years, Primo is roiding his tits off though

The only drug in me is 100% pure PASTA!

The geezer @Batman you're thinking of is Jose Gonzalez. He schooled Burns for about 6 rounds but had his heart broke as Burns wouldn't slow down, bottled it and quit

Was Burns coming back into it then at the time that he quit? I thought that Burns would have needed KO to win because the other dude was that far ahead on points.

I might see if it is on YouTube or sommet and refresh my memory

Well at the time the majority of wally's claimed it was a fix (to save face Eddie paid the PR's mob off).

I was dumbfouded by the quit job at first, as he was winning so easily, however, watching it back it's clear he was wilting badly just before he quit. Then a few fights later quit again when winning a fight. Clearly a dodge pot.

Ricky Burns says he will show Julius Indongo he is far from retirement when they face each other in their super-lightweight unification fight on Saturday.

WBA champion Burns will meet the unbeaten IBF and IBO world champion at the Hydro at the age of 34, the same as the Namibian.

Indongo, when asked about Burns, said: "I thought he was retired by now."

"He is going to find out the hard way, hopefully," responded Burns.

"This is only the second time fighting out of Namibia, so we will see how he is going to like the Glasgow crowd and we will also see how he is going to like it in the second half of the fight when I am sticking it on him.

"It is going to be a good night. Training has gone well. The last week is a pain, with all the things to deal with, but roll on fight night."

Indongo won his belt with a first-round knockout of Russia's Eduard Troyanovsky in Moscow in December.

However, Burns, making the second defence of the title he picked up in May, was unimpressed.

"It was the first 30 seconds of the first round, so you can't really take a lot from it," said the Coatbridge fighter, who has his 34th birthday on Thursday.

"He could have caught that boy cold. It could have happened to anybody.

"Before that fight, he had 20 fights and 10 knockouts. Obviously he can punch a bit.

"But I don't think he is this big puncher that he is making out he is, but we are going to find out how good he is on Saturday."

Burns has struggled with southpaws in the past and has been preparing for Indongo's style.

"The big difference in preparation is that the sparring has been with southpaws, getting in a good variety," he said.

"We have been bringing in boys similar to the boy we are fighting; tall, rangy, awkward.

"But I have been handling southpaws a lot better than I thought I would have done.

"Preparation has gone well, sparring has gone well, so it is just a case of taking what we have been doing and producing it in the fight."
