UK Fans: Is Ricky Burns any good?

[Guest]

I see he's gonna fight Roman Rocky Martinez at 130 for the WBO belt in March.

Appears to be a tall skinny lad.


So is he any good?

Found this.

He's been well beaten by Alex Arthur and Carl johansson.CAPABLE DOMESTIC FIGHTER BUT NOT AT WORLD LEVEL. MARTINEZ SHOULD BE TOO STRONG FOR HIM.

[El_Cholo]

he walked down Gomez in a Commonwealth fight about a year ago. has also beat Graham Earl.

I see the fight will take place in Puerto Rico, there was talk trying to get it in the UK.

Only ever really seen him couple of times and his fights been enjoyable....Is he world class? not imo, Martinez will wear him out before stopping him.

[Guest]

Thanks for the info guys.

It seems like fighting and beating Gomez is a requirement for all British contenders around 130-135.

Gomez is always in exciting fights and it looked good for Burns.

Haven't seen his losses so it seems like he has a fairly good chin.

[ophqui]

yeah, hes got a solid chin, good skills and stamina. **** all power really, certainly not at world level. Hes a solid opponent for a title, but he'll not win one
