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

It's called british wallets.
The only thing these guys can do is buy title shots always choosing the path of least resistance against mediocre opposition.
This guy actually ducked Broner.
Out of all their belts, like maybe two aren't complete paper titles.
But hey, theyre playing the quantity>quality because quality is obviously harder to get.

Both James Degale and Kell Brook travelled to the US to earn their belts against credible opponents and both are set fight against one of the other champions in their division this year.

Fury beat Klitschko.

Anthony Crolla defended his belt against Ismael Barroso.

That's four without even trying.

I think it's fair to say that Burns will defend it in Scotland again complete bums and start seeing that money flow in. I can't blame him.

Glad for him, he thoroughly deserves it after the disgusting **** they pulled on him in Texas.

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

... This was Broner's belt -- he went up at 147...

Wow, they beat two prospects for titles in the very overrated Dirrell and Porter.
Brook can be more than hes shown, but you have to wait for him to actually do it before giving him credit for it and trying to make him look bigger than he actually is.
Porter drew(and probably should've lost to) Julio Diaz. Hes not as good as hes made out to be. His signature win is still Malignaggi.
DeFail should've also lost his belt to Medina so he is actually pretty overrated and that "unification" is a joke.

Fury is the only one really.

You say that like Barroso is some sort of feral killer.
If that's the best you've got, than no wonder youre so desperate.

Laurence Cole on Burns case constantly. Omar Figueroa was getting away with headbutts, rabbit punching, lowblows, you name it and he did nothing but warn him and docked Burns several points for practically nothing. Constantly grabbing Burns arms and bending them and sh(t

It was clearly a close fight that Burns arguably won but the judges turned in very wide cards in favour of the hometown fighter.

He also refereed Salido vs Lomachenko among others and has been fined for his blatant corruption.

sounds bad. Did get a sense that this fight was payback in a way for taking that fight which on paper anyway he was a bit of a lamb to the slaughter.

How on earth did Burns get a 140 title shot? His last two fights were at 135, and before that, he lost to Omar at 140.

Hilarious

Man, sactioning bodies are a joke. They're a hinderance, boxing needs to do away with them.

Congratulations Ricky is a good fighter!!
