GLASGOW, Scotland - Ricky Burns earned a unanimous decision against the unbeaten Kiryl Relikh in his first defense of the WBA super-lightweight belt on Friday. [Click Here To Read More]
Mission impossible for Burns - I doubt he sees out the 12 rounds. If he manages that feat he will already have performed a miracle. Otherwise a 12 one sided rounds beatdown. This is so one sided it's laughable but it'll be good for the Rickster's bank account.
Ricky needs to channel the spirit of Maidana. Maybe he can take advantage of Broner's poor work rate, keep his defence tight and somehow take 7 rounds. I've seen bigger upsets.

That is Broner's biggest problem. Poor workrate for no reason. Mayweather had a low workrate later in his career and it was due to his defense. Broner does not have the same defense as Mayweather, so he should stick to his advantages. He is too flat footed to be defensive minded, but he has fast hands and power. If he does that, stay in decent shape between fights and stay at 140, he'll be at least the #2 fighter at 140 for a long time. He needs to stay clear of 147, unless he fights Paulie again.
Smh, spence,thurman,danny, pacquiao,khan,peterson,berto would have all been good fights. But broner stay fighting fights nobody cares about. He swore up and down he can't make 140 anymore. Broner is a clown. Crawford is the only fight at 140 that even makes sense for broner. But he want Ricky burns doe. Just when I think he is coming around he pulls this ****
He really is trying to make sure he doesn't lose again.
