A really typical Scottish boxer, wasn’t he?
A great engine, tough as nails and a beautifully balanced ring technician (with decent, but not crushing power) .... think of Ken Buchanan and Jim Watt etc. The Scots produce some excellent technicians.

Whats your opinion on the Crolla fightYes he was gifted a decision against Beltrám he was robbed against Figueroa he outboxed him ! he lost to Corolla who was flavour of the month at the time.!

Burns probably should have got the decision, thing is he had had his chance by then, more than a few chances, and Crolla was still in the mix, if Burns would have won and Crolla lost then neither fighter would really be looking at any more big nights (probably)
It was a close fight, was it a good thing that Crolla won?

Re: Ricky Burns
Ricky Burns beating Kevin Mitchell was a great performance. It had the England v Scotland rivalry and Burns was on fire that night and punched liked Hit Man Hearns that glorious night.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
