I must admit that my view of this is coloured by my dislike of Ricky Burns, he just seems like quite a dirty fighter, and to see him getting a shot he is fortunate to get doesn't warm him to me either.

His finishing move on Michael Gomez was just plain nasty, a forearm under the chin to hold his head still, then a right just doesn't sit well.

He's got a good chin to have gone 12 with Arthur and Johanneson, but I really think Burns will be way out of his depth, despite his size being more even than those I mentioned before.
