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

[skel1983]

Simpson is taking over think he has times this to perfection.

Wow 116=112 was a bit wide I would say. I had Simpson winning. Smith looked a million dollers first three rounds then was an ugly fight with Smith holding alot.

The interaction on this forum just gets better by the week.

Shush with your moaning Skel! Some of us have cheesecake to eat.... priorities y'know. Was also surprised with the 116-112 score, thought Simpson had scraped it. Smith was very respectful in winning though, his fight with Martin Lindsay might be too much too soon.

I suppose it would be good to see Burns pull off the miraculous, but the odds say it all really. If you're the home fighter and at 3/1, the chances are slim to none.

Straight right down the pipe from Martinez...there goes the positive start then.

Not the best of starts. Doesnt look like Burns is going to last too long . . .

[skel1983]

Martinez is a different league to Burns who is not even the best in Britain.

[skel1983]

Burns is doing ok here, Martinez I think has got a bit exicited with that knockdown, just love to know a guy with Ricky Burns record has got to number 1 at the WBO? Oh forgot his promoter is Warren.

Burns getting some good shots off and rattling Martinez, but once Martinez comes forward, Burns looks in a world of trouble. Got to say that Burns has probably tied it up on my card after that knockdown.

[skel1983]

Fuck me this is a class fight Burns in control in that round then BOOM Martinez has him badly hurt, great fight.

[GAME]

Martinez reminds me of Prescott the way he fights. The commentary make me laugh. Martinez has Burns hanging on for dear life and they say Martinez is the guy in trouble.

[skel1983]

Wow have I got this wrong Martinez is sloppy as fuck he makes Carlos Maussa look textbook. If Burns had power he could stop him, very surprised with Burns here very impressed so far.

[superheavyrhun]

Martinez seems to just have his right hand as his plan. Burns is the more vulnerable, but is outworking Martinez at the moment.

[skel1983]

Burns needs to keep on the move stay off them ropes.

GREAT FIGHT !!! Im loving this.

Both guys hurt
