Comments Thread For: Ricky Burns Manager Says Beltran Rematch Nearly Done

That fight was not a robbery......it's was a straight up ****!
Ricky is a stand up man for making this happen but they should fight on neutral ground because the judges in that region cannot be trusted.

Fair play to Burns. He knew he was lucky to get the nod, so is giving the guy the rematch...many other fighters have took their fortunate decision and ran with it.
Providing the injury hasn't effected Burns to much, i think he'll win this one.

Nice for Beltran also..deserves a rematch.

Burns should hang them up imo, it's not worth it.

... This is my opinion also... February is way too soon for such a broken jaw injury...
... But one cannot mess around with the Highlander's pride...

Respect, but probably not a good idea for Beltran to go back over there.

That's one way of looking at it. The other is, having had such an uproar about the decision, the judges will be more on the mark this time. Either way, I think Burns boxes his way to a comfortable decision. The broken jaw played a massive factor in the first fight.

Respect to Burns for owning up and giving Beltran a rematch, and respect to Beltran for going back, and fighting at the same place he was robbed in.

I could watch that sig all day

Odds aren't in Burns's favor. Pretty soon for a broken jaw.
Good for him, but he'll most likely get stopped this time....should have waited longer

I gave Beltran every round the first fight. It was the worst robbery this year bar none

If they robbed him over there the first time I don't see why they wouldn't again

Beltran needs to go for the KO

Make sure there are no American judges this time.

[shade darkar]

fair play to ricky, he knows beltran deserves a rematch, refreshing to see.

[Chrismart]

Make sure there are no American judges this time.

Good point. The American judge was the one who scored the fight for Burns i seem to remember.
:ANYWORD:

If Burns fights on February, he's ******.
