Comments Thread For: Julius Indongo Dominates Ricky Burns To Unify WBA, IBF, IBO Belts

[JACK1190]

You have to love Ricky burns. He's overachieved his entire career and he's done it with absolutely no ego. He's never been the best boxer or the biggest puncher, but he always chooses the toughest fights regardless of the money on offer. Nobody trains harder than he does or puts more into fights.

He got well beaten tonight but he will fight on because he loves to fight. Our sport would be a lot better if other fighters had his heart or an ounce of his humility.

And this is why he is one of my favourite fighters. Such a sound guy.

OMG A.B gets another break! he becomes unified champion @ 140! but you know I keep losing when I bet against Indongo! whats up with this guy? hes like 35 years old and barely fought at the level outside of Africa!!!

Weird tho, ain't it? This kinda **** always makes me wonder how many wild card talents there are out there who just didn't get the shot or the lucky break at the right time. That said I just don't think Indongo is really all that good - tricky, awkward and unorthodox with that length and a good engine making him a difficult opponent, but hell he was winging many of his shots so wide I thought he was trying to fan Ricky to death for a while.

... I remember him (in that Beltram fight) fighting with his jaw broken till the final bell...

lol the crawford fans are going to build him up to be some real dangerous fighter so when crawford whoops him they can say 'OH MY GAAWD HE DESTROYED INDONGO' cause rest assured thats what crawford will do, it wont be competitive. indongos footwork looked awful and he was loading up on shots. burns wouldnt engage cause he had no power himself and indongo was twice the size. people say burns isnt a quitter but he pretty much jacked it in as soon as he went in for a couple of exchanges and realised indongo could crack a bit. indongo didnt look like some top fighter in there to me, not really sure what everyone else is watching.

Red k'd for lying and ******ity.... no one has said he can beat Crawford, absolutely NO ONE nor has anyone said it would be a great win of any kind. Indongo is good but he's not on Crawford's level.

I never Red K anyone but you deserve it for your endless trolling and ****** remarks with no evidence.

Yeah man, like they say styles makes fights. I missed the weigh in so I went by boxrec to size these guys up and I think they screwed me ; it says Indongo is 5′ 10½″ with a 71 inch reach, virtually the same as Ricky Burns however today I tune in and see a guy that looks like two divisions higher!!! OMG.

Indongo looked huge in there.
Not much skill, but him vs. Crawford should be fun.

[E10Rifle]

Woah there you think he can take on the WBC SILVER champion?

I think it's a good fight for him if he wants to cash out.

I think he could do better. Surprisingly Burns has been in the game so long I think he has some chips on the table. Maybe a Broner or Garcia fight? I don't know too much about Davies and how it would sell in Europe though.

Indongo will be a great test for Crawford. I think he has a fair shot.

Indongo will only keep the title warm for a minute or two because the worse thing a fighter can do is throw a looping jab of all punches! Bad technique and he leaves himself wide open with crazy misses. Crawford is levels above, and there are contenders who will lift Indongo's titles without a doubt.
