Ricky Burns v Joseph Laryea discussion

[superheavyrhun]

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.

You're thinking of those in porn films who are hard and nailing, and keep cumming all night....

Fair do's though, I'm starting to think that Burns is growing into quite a decent fighter, can deal with different styles, but needs another big win to cement that reputation.
