Comments Thread For: Beltran To Burns: Prove You Beat Me, Face Me in America!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Earlier today Raymundo "Sugar" Beltran (28-6-1) appeared to do more than enough to win his first world title when he faced WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns (36-2-1) in his backyard (Glasgow, Scotland) but instead had to settle for a dubious draw.

BoxingScene.com spoke to the Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico native shortly after the draw was announced. This isn't the first time Beltran has came out on the short end of a controversial decision but you could tell by the sound of his voice that the pain and disappointment runs deep.

"I thought I did enough to win but you see how boxing is. I have been on this road a long time," said Beltran who felt that he was comfortably ahead on the scorecards. "I think I won by at least 4 points. I won the fight convincingly."

Yeah let's act like the US judge didn't score the fight to Burns.

Everyone knows You won the fight champ. Viva Raymundo Beltran

Anyone with eyes knows who won and it wasn't even close.

You know, if Burns is out for 6 or so months they should award the title to Beltran (it's not like 'world' titles mean anything anymore) and have him fight Burns when he comes back.

You know Beltran will be active. The WBO makes money and people feel all warm & gooey inside because Beltran gets the belt.

lol, nice try.
Your own fault. Should have knocked him down 4 more times or out if you wanted to win.
You just didn't want it that badly

Notice how he didn't even say his home country Mexico, he knows he'll get a fair fight in the good ol' USA unlike the UK

Hearn says no fight in the US because no one in the US wants to watch it, it doesn't make any money. He's talking about Burns moving to 140.

That judge is a Latino, probably Puerto Rican, from New York.

Well he's right about that, people will enjoy it more in Scotland. Good luck moving to 140, he beats none of the 140 champs.
