Burns is a warrior no doubt, but Abril schools him.

I wouldn't count Burns out just yet. Abril waxed the floor with Rios, but Rios is a brawler. I think Burns looked like **** against Gonzalez. I don't expect the same against Abril though. We'll see.

I think Abril wins this. He is not gonna get tired and quit like Burns' last opponent.

I rather see Gamboa vs Burns. This match up would be pretty interesting.

Good fight. Burns better be ready, Abril doesn't sprain wrists easily.

Good fight. Burns better be ready, Abril doesn't sprain wrists easily.

LOL

Anyways, if the fight happens, this is an excellent fight between two world class boxers. Ricky Burns had a very poor performance vs. Chelo, probably the worst I've ever seen him. Abril handled Bogere rather easily.

But I'm going with my guy Abril. Burns never faced this style before. They don't have this style of boxing where he's from.
