Comments Thread For: Roman Martinez vs Ricky Burns Early Results From Glasgow

[lopez36]

dont be silly , why give a hugely rated underdog credit hes due for beating a undefeated champion . sounds silly to me as its better using excuses lol

actually it doesn't surprise me martinez lost,he's overrated

[Ray*]

Martinez would almost move up in his next fight, He looks like he struggled to make weight for this fight, I was shock at how desperate he became during the fight, He was hitting air and getting tagged by burns.

Rematch

No way Burns beat an average Martinez tonight.

He fights guys with 80% ko ratio and makes them look feather fisted.

Tonight he fought a guy with a 30% ko ratio and made him look like Marquez.

A rematch needs to happen.

What did Martinez do tonight to earn a rematch? A knockdown in a round he would have lost if he hadn't? IMO He won one other round (7) in the whole fight. Maybe the 9th at a push.

Funny thing is that Burns isn't even the best in the UK. However, a superb performance from Ricky - the best of his career by far - and a deserved win. The scorecards were ridiculously close though.

Tonight proved that a good boxer will always beat a good puncher, even a great puncher. Martinez is, and was, overrated and needs to reassess if he isn't going to become another statistic.

Burns is a bum.

Martinez was nothing but a hypejob.

What you basically said there: 'I'm a terrible poster. I will never post anything remotely insightful. I know little about boxing. You can't misconscrew what I post because there is nothing to unravel. I'm simple and deal exclusively in cliches.'

i have never seen nobody ever hype up Martinez to be the next big thing where do you nutjobs come up with that BS ?

[TuRoK'em]

Lets go rocky beat this burns and then make a big fight against solis

were u at now ***** ?

[Chunk..]

It definetely is a good win for British boxing. A real shot in the arm.

Most of the guys we are pinning hopes on like: Degale, Groves, Gavin, Cleverly etc are well of world-level, and with Kevin Mitchell getting smashed; I was struggling to see where a next world champ was coming from. Even if it may turn out to only be a brief reign. Burns has done it now. He's made it.

It's funny really. Degale fighting some window cleaner would have gotten more coverage then this fight.

It had no build up here at all really.

Very good fight and props to both guys for a hell of a fight. I was one of those that gave Burns little chance of beating Rocky; goes to show you nothing is given in boxing. Cong**** to Burns for the upset and IMO a FOY candidate.

Indeed, although Cleverly apart I don't fancy the others chances. I do fear for Burns at world class level though, although Warren isn't bad at shielding his world champions ....

REad that Martinez gave a low blow when hurt.

Typical.
