Comments Thread For: Ricky Hatton: Ricky Burns Showed He's a Real Champ

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter and former champion Ricky Hatton praised WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns for his victory last Saturday night in Glasgow when he came from behind to stop unbeaten Jose Gonzalez in nine rounds. Gonzalez appeared to win the first seven rounds, but began to fade badly and then quit on his stool before the start of the tenth - claiming a left hand injury.

Burns deserves credit for not being mentally beaten even when it looked that he was/would be physically beaten, but overall it's very hard to argue that his stock improved with that performance. Hatton did overcome some more talented guys but he never lost the entire first half of a fight but got the W because the other guy lost his will and nerve.

Impressed with Burns and at the same time disappointed in Gonzales. Talk about a terrible ending to a great fight.

The english commentators are so much better than the ones in the US. They were calling the fight right from the start. Gonzalez was getting in Burns ass from round 1.

I've heard a lot of spin jobs in my life but this Ricky burns has the heart of a champion **** is getting old. eating shots all night and getting outboxed for 7 straight rounds impressed no one.

And only won, because his opponent fell to pieces over nothing. I agree, s**t is getting old. Burns is a bum.

I was impressed with the size of the crowd that Burns was able to bring. He can fill out an arena better than Adrien Broner.
