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

[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.

Wouldnt like to call it from here. Burns actually looks physically stronger but we know Martinez can turn it round at any moment.

That sixth round with Burns looking slightly gassed for periods didn't fill me with confidence, and as you mentioned Martinez has equalizer power. Come on Burnsy.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO This is what you call a fight !!! Martinez had him in loads of trouble there.

[superheavyrhun]

Burns can't afford to give Martinez the initiative like that, Burns has to step it up, and get to moving forward again. Agree with the Maussa comparison earlier. Slickster pitter-patter boxing it is not.

[GAME]

If Burns can hold it together for 3 more rounds he is the world champ but he gets hurt in every round . . . . .

Great fight

Great stuff here, just turned in for the 7th round and got mesmerized by the action.

[skel1983]

Burns is slowing down alarmingly here.

I thought that was a better round for Burns...gave him that one after two to Martinez. Burns boxes in bursts from behind a tight guard, doesn't sit on the ropes, and he will have me eating my words.

Wow it is changing every round, I say Burns looks fucked comes back great next round then again Martinez nearly finishes him CRACKING FIGHT!!
