Did Burns really duck Broner?

[leonthegee]

Burns didnt duck Broner. Golden Boy lowballed him and he had a chance to headline at Wembley. He will probably fight Broner once they sweeten the offer. HBOs under the gun to make big fights because Showtime is sonning them right now.

[sicko]

Yes He Did! TWICE!

Now lets reverse this, if it was Broner doing this to Burns, this would not even be a question, people would be on hear blasting Broner

So yes Burns blatantly ducked Broner once at 130 and again at 135...what further proof do you really need?

[-PBP-]

I'm a strong believer that fighters don't duck. Managers, promoters and advisors do it for them.

With that said, I don't believe Frank Warren really cared if this fight happened or not.

The claim sounded ridiculous when Broner's alternative fight was Reese, and now Malignaggi. Gimme a break! While Burns had Vasquez, whom Broner team don't even want to look at.

Oh well...

so if broner turns down a fight he's ducking but if a guy turns broner down he's not. what is it with you guys.

Yes, Burns ducked Broner. Twice.

First when he moved up in weight from 130 rather than fight Adrien and then this year when he turned down a record payday from GBP.

He's also ducking Miguel Vasquez apparently since he is using Miguel's illness and postponement to get out of that fight altogether.

A real fighting champion, that Ricky Burns.
