Comments Thread For: Photos: Ricky Burns Becomes a Player at Lightweight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Ricky Burns’ decision to abandon his super featherweight belt – and with that, a date on HBO – proved to be a wise gamble.

The Scot immediately made his presence felt in the lightweight division on the strength of his upset win over Michael Katsidis in their 12-round main event at Wembley Arena in London, England.

me and ricky burns are very similar. . . we are built basically identical. . . im a little bigger than him, and I have "soccer legs", but we both have the sinewy upper bodies and wide backs and long arms. . . Both very tall for our weight classes. . . Im also a bit better looking. . . but very similar. . . We are both built like PROTOTYPICAL BOXERS.

I can't get get over he went 12 rounds with Katsidis and looks pretty flawless. Great and well-earned win. I think he should pursue Barrera or someone else with a name.

I can't believe he's the same fighter i saw fighting agains the likes of Kevin O'Hara a few years ago. So pleased to have another lightweight in the ranks. It can be a really good division if it wants to be.

yeah he is definetly a contender, he looked great against Kats, he looked real strong, could even do well at LW he is getting better with time, bit gutted Kats lost the way he did he didnt seem quite as strong as he usualy is.
