Comments Thread For: Ricky Burns Becomes Three Division Champion, Stops Di Rocco in 8

Maybe we can finally get that much anticipated Burns vs. Broner fight.

Good for Burns. He'll get some bum fights in Scotland and get some money in the bank. He's a nice guy so hopefully this will help with his money issues.

Just shows are useless world titles are these days when you have Ricky Burns and Di Rocco fighting for a world title

[Sparked_26]

Where does Di Rocco ranks in regards to shite title contenders?

He has to be better than that surely.

Ricky looked good, but my boy O'Connor made it dew wat it dew

[giacomino]

Gotta give his promoters credit. Burns had done nothing to earn a title fight at home vs this Italian cupcake but his promoters have paid to put the limited fighter in hometown "title fights" time and time again against beatable opponents. Only Sauerland does it better in boxing. He may not be a legit "three-time world champion" but his promoter certainly is a champ

[Mr.Fantastic]

Cong**** to him.

I can't keep up, is this WBA proper, super, regular, what one is it?

He's the only champ.... Broner got stripped and Idk what happened too benvendez....Di Rocco 1st and Burns was 7th idk how Herrera and Provo got passed up.

What's y'all favor his chances against Eduard Troyanovsky for a nice unification?

[Sparked_26]

Scots were a bit cheeky to boo Hearn - surely?

He has definitely looked out for Burns. Burns put it on the line against Figueroa and Hearn paid him with a home world title tilt against a guy who turned out to be dead average.

LOL How was this for a Championship. The WBA is a joke.
I have no idea how Di Rocco was ranked #1 and there was several fighters ranked ahead of Burns. How did they not get a shot?
Well, I guess the answer to that is obvious.
