    I find it hard to criticize him really.

    But there should be a new champion tonight.
    Meh. He's never been any good. He's incredibly limited; no wonder he ducked Broner.

      I like Ricky as a person, and he's clearly got a lot of heart going through the fight with a dislocated jaw.

      That being said, Beltran should be champ and an immediate rematch should be next.
      Some people on here had Burns over Broner, so that's incorrect. I'll dig them out. Burns is done. He's peaked. That's two fights in a row now.

        Burns is crap. He's not world level. He'll defend his title against bums for a while now.
        What fight started the whole "british robbery" thing?

          I'm not saying Britain is a hub for boxing robberies, but on NSB you see it in threads daily.

          Shame this fight was rigged. It's horrible seeing Sky pundits try and talk up Ricky. He was terrible.

            Seriously? I don't think i've ever seen anyone pick Burns over Broner.

            As much as I dislike Broner, he's quite clearly 2 or 3 levels above Burns. Just to think how easily Broner would destroy Beltran just confirms how worse Burns is.

              I'm a big Ricky Burns fan. He's much better than that. The jaw clearly affected him, but Beltran won the fight. The decision is bull****.

                  No no I know. I actually just forgot which fight that started that thing. Was it Froch-Dirrell or Chisora-Scott?

                  regardless, America is 10 times worse than UK.

                    Oh man, I agree. I'll dig out the posts tomorrow and post them here. Burns has been lucky. He's done now, though.

                      I think it was Froch-Dirrell, which was a close fight. I had Froch up a round.

                      I agree with your comment re. America. It's far more prevalent
