Great performance from Ricky Burns.

Obviously he cannot hang with the best in the division, but he can hang with most others. Good fight. Time to defend against Beltran I think

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.

easiest route to a world title ever. Di Rocco is garbage.

For his limited ability, he's done very well.

Shouldn't have got the title shot, but he took it and you can't blame him.

He was ranked #7 I think. For what reason I don't know. They've most likely gone down the order and seen who was available.

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.
