Zlatacanin Drops, Shocks Ricky Burns For Glasgow Win

•Jun 27, 2014

Glasgow, Scotland - In his first bout since the March defeat to Terence Crawford, former champion Ricky Burns (36-4-1, 11KOs) was dropped in the first and outfought over twelve rounds, as Dejan Zlaticanin (19-0, 13KOs) pulled off a big upset with a split decision victory. The scores were 115-113 for Zlaticanin, 115-113 for Burns, and 115-113 for Zlaticanin. Sky Sports scored 114-113 for Burns. Beware the unknown fighter… Zlaticanin, from Montenegro, won the WBC International lightweight title after a thoroughly deserved win in front of Burns’ loyal fans. The Scot, like his fight with Roman Martinez in 2010, was down in the first round after a wild left hand from Zlaticanin detonated on Burns which laid the template for the rest of the night’s proceedings. Burns under the tutelage of new trainer, Tony Sims, reverted to type far too often by looking to jab and throw wild hooks in an attempt to deter his opponent.

British light-welterweight champion Curtis Woodhouse has experienced the heat of a Sheffield and Birmingham derby - so he has no fears over the hostile reception that awaits him in Glasgow. Former Sheffield United and Birmingham midfielder Woodhouse is taking on Glasgow's Commonwealth champion Willie Limond at Braehead Arena on Friday night with both belts up for grabs. The 34-year-old retired immediately after winning the title from Darren Hamilton on home territory in Hull in February - but he was soon tempted back into the ring when presented with the chance to take on Limond in Scotland.

Rocky Fielding did himself few favours on Saturday, first losing his Commonwealth super middleweight title on the scales, then putting in a plodding performance in outpointing veteran Ghanaian Charles Adamu, despite a minimum 10 pound weight advantage. Fielding insists that he still plans to campaign at super middle, despite turning up on the scales a mere five ounces under the light heavy limit. He remains mandatory to challenge Paul Smith for the British title, but that fight is now looking increasingly problematic.
