What an absolute slobber knocker! Burns determination and heart is what pulled him through, credit to both fighters they put everything they had left into it. In contention for fight of the year? I think so..
Martinez is nothing but a puncher, no jab, no technique and I suspect that this is not his last loss.
No doubt Marintez was highly overated when he stepped in the ring tonight. I'd have to say his technique wasn't up to scratch, with all the hype surrounding him. Burns just had that little more heart and determination! Martinez was just relying on the KO, swinging wildly throughout the fight, he was all over the place for someone who is suppose to be a quality fighter!! Props to both fighters though, absolute belter of a fight.
Its funny that its always the B level fighters who deliver the best fights. This fight was the guy without power and the guy with no stamina trying to KO each other.
Incredible! What an absolute stonker of a fight!!!
I was near in tears of joy at the final whistle and I had never even seen Ricky Burns fight before! Great heart!
He looked pretty damn tired, that was around the 7-8 round even! He was more determined than Martinez, and wanted it more. What a fight, i'll be watching it again soon.
