    What happened to Ricky Burns when he looked world class against Kevin Mitchell and the beat downs he suffered subsequently. Is it age, the weight or desire gone out of him?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    He's an over achiever in the sport and he should be extremely proud of his accomplishments. He's had some great wins but at the highest level he's not got it anymore. 135 is a brilliant weight class, especially domestically at the moment. He should look to try and have some big fights against fellow domestic fighters. A beating from Figueroa might pay well, but won't help prolong his career if he intends on carrying on.

    I really like Figs. Want to see him and Santa Cruz but don't know which way they are going in weight. Fig is a warrior. Took a lot of shots his last fight as that defense is an issue for him. He keeps saying he's realizes and is working to improve it but he can't help but rumble, it's just how he likes to fight. Of the up and comers he is amongst my favs but I fear he may not last to long without proper adjustments. He is a nice bright kid, I'd hate to see him end up with a permo slurr.
