Comments Thread For: Ricky Burns Returns, Stops Croatian Foe In 50th Fight

He won paper belts but never beat an elite fighter. But you’re right, his time is past. He probably can’t win a belt even if it’s a set-up like his jr. WW belt

You didn't rate Michele Di Rocco in your p4p list? In fact, I'd never even heard of him.

I was reading last week of talk of him maybe facing Gamboa in America.

Against who?

Yuriorkis Gamboa

Not even Boxrec have that penned in yet. The man with the sources.

It's on. Burns vs. Gamboa

Yuriorkis Gamboa

Yep, Ricky has already said ''If he dies.. he dies." Chilling.

A very good fight. Both have got a silmilar style: high guard with zero upper body movement. I wouldn't be surprised if that's announced.

thats not even close to similar. So by your own logic Abraham, Ritson and Burns have similar styles?

They are similar. High guard and not much body movement. Quite simple, really. I didn't mention Abraham. That's your own logic. You going to tell me Ritson doesn't have a high guard and is a slick boxer? Be my guest..

so if someone doesnt know both fighters, he would imagine that they are fighting similar?

There is more to a style than high guard and no head movement.
Ritson has a stiff jab, is on the frontfoot at all times, Closes the distance quickly, high pressure fighter, likes to exchange.

Burns fights more at midrange, uses his long reach to Keep guys at bay, has lateral movement.

stylistically they are not similar at all. You didnt mention Abraham, thats why I said by your own logic, because Abraham is a high guard and no head movement boxer.

You going to tell me Abraham doesnt have a high guard and no Body movement?

Too long and too pedantic. I think you probably argue with your own shadow.
