Comments Thread For: Ricky Burns is Nailed Again as Ocampo Withdraws

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Ricky Burns' defense of the WBO lightweight crown on Saturday night is now in jeopardy after Jose Ocampo's unexpected withdrawal. Ocampo pulled out following the death of his trainer from a heart attack and Burns is still expected to fight at Excel Arena in London, but his WBO lightweight title might not be on the line. The Scot was originally due to face Liam Walsh, but another foe had to be found after the Norfolk fighter was hurt in a car crash.

Absolutely. Sucks to be Burns right now.

Very frustrating situation for Burns. Warren's been getting sent red k from the boxing gods for b*tching once too often in his sporadic updates methinks...

How about Chelo Gonzalez, #1 ranked for WBO?

Forget Gesta, Vazquez sent him back to the prelims. Burns might hurt him and I'm sure it would sell in the UK, but why? A win on a Vazquez victim would be a step backward and a loss, god forbid, would be disaster. Burns deserves better, if only to prove he belongs.

gesta BUM

Gesta is ****y bum who doesnt know how to adjust.. his teary eyes in the mid rounds shows he cant just pull it... all he did was show board when he was the one getting beat up.. he is flatfooted... Blessing in disguise that rios did put no attention on him coz we all know whats gonna happen..
