Rocky Martinez-Ricky Burns - Saturday 9pm Sky Sports 1 - Who Wins?

[superheavyrhun]

Shush with your moaning Skel! Some of us have cheesecake to eat.... priorities y'know. Was also surprised with the 116-112 score, thought Simpson had scraped it. Smith was very respectful in winning though, his fight with Martin Lindsay might be too much too soon.

I suppose it would be good to see Burns pull off the miraculous, but the odds say it all really. If you're the home fighter and at 3/1, the chances are slim to none.

Straight right down the pipe from Martinez...there goes the positive start then.

[GAME]

Not the best of starts. Doesnt look like Burns is going to last too long . . .

[skel1983]

Martinez is a different league to Burns who is not even the best in Britain.

[skel1983]

Burns is doing ok here, Martinez I think has got a bit exicited with that knockdown, just love to know a guy with Ricky Burns record has got to number 1 at the WBO? Oh forgot his promoter is Warren.

[superheavyrhun]

Burns getting some good shots off and rattling Martinez, but once Martinez comes forward, Burns looks in a world of trouble. Got to say that Burns has probably tied it up on my card after that knockdown.

[skel1983]

Fuck me this is a class fight Burns in control in that round then BOOM Martinez has him badly hurt, great fight.

[skel1983]

Wow have I got this wrong Martinez is sloppy as fuck he makes Carlos Maussa look textbook. If Burns had power he could stop him, very surprised with Burns here very impressed so far.

[GAME]

Martinez reminds me of Prescott the way he fights. The commentary make me laugh. Martinez has Burns hanging on for dear life and they say Martinez is the guy in trouble.

[superheavyrhun]

Martinez seems to just have his right hand as his plan. Burns is the more vulnerable, but is outworking Martinez at the moment.

[skel1983]

Burns needs to keep on the move stay off them ropes.

[skel1983]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This has to be performance of the year so far from a brit Hats off to Burns.

[superheavyrhun]

Exactly Skel, when he's throwing he looks very good, landing big punches, but when he sat on them ropes, I thought he was going to get hit to his arse again. If he wants to rest his arms, he has to use his legs.

Martinez looks to have underestimated Burns perhaps.

GREAT FIGHT !!! Im loving this.

Both guys hurt
