Recently I sat and watched a couple of Ricky Burns's fights and I dont see a fight with Broner going past 3 rounds. Maybe I watched the wrong fights.........Nah it would be a blowout. I aint trying to throw darts at him but there is absolutely no reason to avoid him outside the fact that he wants too much money. Now in his defense I could see why he wants big bucks guaranteed because in his heart of hearts he knows the beating he would be in for. Can anyone enlighten me If Im missing something that would make this fight competitive?

Broner hasn't fought anybody with Burns size that is as fast, versatile or technically able. I'd like to see it and see how Broner dealt with Burns angles and movement.
Everybody that has ever fought Broner has stood right infront of him, Rees will do exactly that. Burns style makes this an interesting fight IMO
I genuinely think Ricky has a good chance of out-boxing that flat-footed hypejob.

No doubt, he's much better than Rees who will be out of there in 1. He is lengthy but he doesnt use it well. Katsidis got inside anytime he wanted. How is that gonna transfer to Broner who is much faster and has a longer reach.
Faster handspeed but not faster feet IMO & he has virtually upper body movement, only time he moves his head is when its getting snapped back or when he does that stupid leaning back & shaking of his head his idol does.
I think he has terrible footwork & footspeed.
I am utterly convinced he is far from what he is made out to be.
A poor mans Berto rather than a poor mans Floyd if you ask.

I will still pick broner to win by a UD (like a 116-112 or 115-113 type scorecard) But at the same time i wouldnt be shocked if burns wins.
