re: Ricky Burns v Julius Indongo - rd-by-rd/Sky Sports
I'm gonna take a chance on Burns stopping him (6/1) even though he's not a puncher.
I watched a little bit more of Indigo other than his 30 second sparko, he's very tall with a rangefinder jab to set up the left hand but looks a rinse and repeat merchant and clumsy going backwards. The only other fella of note he's beat is an old Kaizer Mabuza, on PTS. That one punch sparko looks a bit misleading as far his whackabilty goes.
Burns has the experience at top level against every size and style. Excellent engine, beard and although best from range - jab, right hand - can fight on the inside and targets the body. Expect Indongo to start well but at 35 (probably 40 going by the fudged African ages) with just 21 fights I can see him getting outclassed, forced backed and punished on the ropes. 50/1 rds 9, 10, 11.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
