Comments Thread For: Ricky Burns To Face Chelo Gonzalez, 5/11 In Glasgow

Big step-up for Chelo, doubt he wins. But, you never know. Burns by close UD.

Look, when your the champ you have to give other contenders the chance to win a title the same way Burns was given his chance to win the title.


It just so happens that Burns is erm....more generous than others.

It's his mandatory, and he hasn't fought in ages. If he wins his next fight needs to be Vasquez, Abril or Broner imo.

Chelo has looked good but the opposition is not that great. Burns should box is way to victory.

Burns will get burned

CHELO BY KO

[jtcs1981]

I dont understand how Chelo is the mandatory. WBO was doing so good recently and the effed up with this.

I have alot of respect for Hearns as he does get his fighter decent opponents which is good for the public and lets his fighters know he believes in them - unlike some promoters who over protect there fighters - believe me this is a quality opposition for Burns who will need to be at his best for this fight.

[opotemo]

strip this guy already

strip him for fighting his mandatory?

[Ray*]

This is a bad look for Burns. Should be a slightly postponed Vazquez fight instead.

The fight would never happen under Burns previous promoter, the guy is a con man, I believe the fight would now happen under his new promoter who isn't afraid to put his fighters in tough fights.
