FOTY without a doubt, Martinez vs Burns

Just finished watching it. I scored it 115-112 Burns. I gave rounds 1 (10-8), 6, 7, and 9 to Martinez. Excellent fight. Glad I took the time to watch it. Definitely a FOTY contender at the very least.

I said beforehand that this fight had FOTY potential. I think they served up a treat. Probably the best fight i've seen since Dunne - Cordoba.

ivan calderon last fight was better The only reason I say different is because they went back on forth, calderon was gonna win on points if it went the distance, these guys were fighting as if they hated each other.

Gutted i had to nip out after the Smith - Simpson fight, as id been looking forward to these 2 fights. Sounds a great fight, so hopefully its in the download section some time tomorrow.

I'm still buzzing from that fight. No power, knocked down in the 1st against a champ with a great KO % and to come back and win by 3-4 rounds was superb. I was absolutely screaming at those points Ricky would take a breather, sit on the ropes and let Martinez go..... great fight for all the right reasons. A champ willing to travel, a turnaround and a shock, and more heart than you could possible ask for! Oh and a wee chorus of Flower of Scotland before the fight just made a special night for us Scots boxing fans.

:( I really wanted to see this and I had access to a stream. I thought it was just about to start. :(

ivan calderon last fight was better

Haha the brits are so mad, guess you guys dont get any champs too often so I wont ruin the parade. Too bad nobody will know who Burns is in a year except the guy who lost to a ice cream salesman. Dude has no power and no real amazing boxing ability, he was the better man tonight but thats not saying much. Stop acting like hes the re-incarnation of Jesus. if that's all you thought about during this fight i feel for you

Why can't you just acknowledge that it was a tremendous fight and give them their props, these guys just went to WAR for themselves and boxing fans. How about giving a guy who was a complete underdog props for fighting his heart out especially after bein hurt a few times and having limited punching power himself. Must suck to be you with that mentality. That would be a great idea, I can't beleive when fights like these are happening, people are talking about those two, please post the link or bump it up. cheers man, I've bumped that thread so check it out..

Dude has no power and no real amazing boxing ability, he was the better man tonight but thats not saying much. Stop acting like hes the re-incarnation of Jesus. He actually beat the ice cream salesman. And now he's beaten a guy that people were creaming themselves about all week. So give the guy some credit. He's not the re-incarnation of Jesus but he's a good kid and on tonights performance, a worthy world champion.,

No one here is talking about his past or his future, but right now , he beat Martinez even with no skills. Let the man live, damn already hatin and he just got the title.

If you missed this, please try to find someway, somehow to watch this. These guys gave everything they had, awsome. I thought the fight was over in the first but burns thought otherwise. There's only one word: WOW need a link please

I got to see the last 5 rounds and Martinez looked gassed as hell. He could only let his hands go in small flurries. Dissapointed for him that he lost.

Its the truth, Martinez was dead tired and you couldve blew on him and he wouldve fell over. Look at burn's record 7 ko in 31 fights. Those KO were on bums. Didnt he lose to an Ice Cream salesman? Great fight but not exactly world class talent by either of these two, huge hearts tho. Why can't you just acknowledge that it was a tremendous fight and give them their props, these guys just went to WAR for themselves and boxing fans.

Ever heard the saying, if you've got nothing good to say....shut the **** up?! Learn it. Haha the brits are so mad, guess you guys dont get any champs too often so I wont ruin the parade.

Great fight, it's in the running, but not without a doubt. Martinez-Burns was a title fight, so it might have the edge over Escalante-Roman. Calderon-Segura is also in the running. It's a tight race, but there are great matchups and fights coming through the pipe. 2010 is going to have a huge closeout to it.

Burns has no power and Martinez has no stamina. Both would get destroyed against top competition. Ever heard the saying, if you've got nothing good to say....shut the **** up?! Learn it.

In that case you should have voted in my poll earlier to demand for a section specifically for Pac / floyd debates. Sick of it dominating the board. Cracker of a fight tonight, tons of heart, couldn't take my eyes off it. Classic!

great fight! i really regret not going ( i only live 5 mins away!) but i've been in england for the past week, it's a real big deal when scotland gets a champ especially with a win like that , pr will always have another day lol At least you got to watch it
