Comments Thread For: Photos: Burns Saved, Controversial Draw With Beltran

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

GLASGOW, Scotland — Ricky Burns suffered a broken jaw and was knocked down hard by Raymundo Beltran, but mananged to keep his WBO lightweight title after a controversial draw on Saturday. Burns never looked like he was winning his fourth defense, and even he and his hometown fans were surprised when the result was announced. One judge gave it to Burns 115-112, another ruled Beltran won by 115-113, and the last scored it 114-114.

The more aggressive Beltran appeared to dislocate Burns' jaw in the second round and floored the Scot with a left hook in the eighth. The first draw in the pro career of each fighter left their records at 36-2-1 for Burns, and 28-6-1 for Beltran. [Click Here To Read More]

Burns is like the new Felix Sturm. The weakest champ in boxing, congratulations.

Champs are decided outside the ring. Burns is the beneficiary.

Now that cleverly has been exposed, ricky burns is the new fraud of boxing. And dont give me that you cant blame ricky burns ****, he must've held over a hundred times in this fight , every time beltran got close he held , it was pathetic to see, you dont "box" like that unless you know the whole thing is rigged. The scottish fans didnt even applaud after the fight , it was like a mausoleum in there.

Ricky bums. His promoter might wanna keep him away from crawford, abril, vasquez, demarco and the other top 15 ranked at 135 cause he aint winning those fights.

WE may not be giving Raymundo his just due here. I keep thinking that someone better will destroy Burns too, but Beltran has improved with age and is hitting a good stride. Beltran has looked good lately vs ranked fighters, now he looked good on the road, in Ricky's house. Beltran is improving under the radar and not getting enough credit.
