Ricky Burns v Joseph Laryea discussion

[superheavyrhun]

Here we go then. Laryea just spent about 10 minutes between the door and the ring.... I could have walked it in 30 seconds! Fair play to him though, the boos don't phase him!

I reckon if Burns gets on the front foot early doors, he can box his way to a comfortable win, jab jab jab then shots to the body.

Anyone got a stream for this?

Check your PM big man.

Burns doing well enough so far, won the first two rounds. Laryea is trying to come forward and pressure with the jab, but Burns getting success with overhand rights and counter body shots. Decent enough so far.

Burns is doing really well so far, six rounds in and he's got six in the bag I think. Not exactly a blowout though, Laryea is competitive, just isn't working that much, and getting countered when he comes forward by Burns.

[No Contest]

I like Burns bodywork, but he throws a real chopping right hand, which is bad form. He also pulls straight back with his head up in the air.

[No Contest]

I think the bodywork caught up to him, he was sucking wind in the corner last two rounds.

Laryea quits on his stool after 7. Commentators talking about a broken hand, but I suspect he was being outclassed and he knows it. There goes my Burns UD joker pick in the prediction comp, but well done Ricky, and a reasonable performance to step on towards an unification bout in the summer.
