This bum is still fighting?
He's one of the worst champions in recent years. He held a belt hostage fighting bums in front of thousands of clueless Glaswegians who thought he was some sort of great fighter.
He was getting beaten pillar to post by Gonzalez for 9 rounds then he was paid off to quit on his stool despite winning every round with ease. Then he got a gift against Beltran. Then finally he had his belt taken by Crawford because it was impossible to rob him.
Then Zlaticanin and Figueroa showed Burns is not and never was world class.
To say this man was a world champion is a joke really.
Won one fight at 135 (his last fight) since May 2013.....of course

Boxing is funny they just keep given the same guys that title shots over , over ... Burns is 3-3 in his last 6 gets another chance at a title some young guy that won his last 10 by KO gets no chance
