Well done Ricky Burns new WBO world Champion in FOTY Candidate!!

[Dark Lord Al]

Was a top fight , Burns showed real Celtic grit , and well done to him.
However i feel that in a world of multi title holders , it just goes to show how poor some guys with belts are.
Martinez looked like a puncher with no boxing style or ability to adapt , 15 ko's in 24 wins doesnt exactly suggest Julian Jackson either.
However not taking anything away from Ricky he fought like a champion if nothing else.

Good fight, great win for Burns he deserved it, cost me a mini-fortune though ()

I thought the same as you. Thought Martinez would have far too much for him. Great performance by Burns. It'll be tough for him to hang on to the title, but even if he loses in his first defence, he's still gone much further than probably anyone could have imagined.

just saw the fight, and good job by Burns, Martinez fought a dumb fight and just kept loading up on one big punch, wouldn't mind seeing a rematch, but yea i've said it before Martinez was the weakest of the current champs from PR
