Comments Thread For: Hearn Even More Confident That Burns Can Topple Adrien Broner

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Eddie Hearn has paid tribute to Ricky Burns' willingness to fight the best as the Scot prepares to bring world title boxing back to Glasgow. The former WBO super-featherweight and lightweight champion faces long-standing European champion Michele Di Rocco at the SSE Hydro on May 28 for the vacant WBA super-lightweight belt.

If there's one thing Broner is good at it's knocking out lightweights.

Whilst it's true that Burns has had a tough run of opposition as Hearn metions (including Zlaticanin & Crawford who've since gone onto bigger & better things) he's still definitely on the slide. He's not totally finished though and there could be 1 last top performance in the tank. Having said that I don't think he beats Broner.

Whatever happens from here with his career he is one of the few fighters who I believe has genuinely maximised his talent and gotten absolutely everything he could from his career and beaten boxers who some might say were more 'talented' than him, and it's been a pleasure watching him.

Probably not because Bellew Makabu is for WBC belt

I wouldn't mind seeing Broner vs Burns even if it's way past the time when it was considered a big fight.

[Corelone]

Why not? I don't mind if it's in Scotland too. Broner never traveled anywhere.

[HanzGruber]
