Ricky Burns v Joseph Laryea discussion

[superheavyrhun]

I always liked burns even before he was a world champ. Did I think he could be world champ, no. Anyhow like someone said before he's growin into a decent champion. I wish him all the best.

Say two or three years ago when I saw Burns lose to Arthur, and then get beaten by Johanneson, I thought he might be a gatekeeper type fighter that would often end up in eliminators and never quite make it to the main event. I'm chuffed to say I was wrong. Burns has grown into a very good fighter, and I think he can really compete at the very top level.

I like Burns, he always comes across as a nice person and he's become a pretty good fighter. I never expected him to beat Martinez, but he showed then and he's showed since that he deserves the title. He landed some good body shots last night and was completely in control until the stoppage. Hopefully he gets the fight with Fana in the summer and we can see him try to unify the division.

Good vicotry hope he can unify the title now.
