Comments Thread For: Ricky Burns-Dejan Zlatacanin Early Glasgow Results

Burns has basically lost 3 fights in a row. What does he do now?

go on an eric crumble streak?

[Hougigo]

Ricky should just stay domestic and make money til he retires

Admittedly I only saw the last 3 rounds and I thought Burns won them

Didn't look like the other guy was dominating. Why are people so quick to cry about a robbery? It's almost like people on here are willing a robbery to happen.

DZ dominated the first five and scored a knockdown. I didn't preemptively cry robbery because I didn't see 4 of the rounds in full due to Sky's error, but for Ricky to win on my card he would've had to win all of those rounds.

Also, on what basis did you think Burns won the 11th? He landed nothing notable, he fell short with almost everything he threw, and he got his head snapped back and nailed with several flush power shots, including a bunch of body shots in the last 30 seconds of the round. That seems like horrible scoring to give him that round. I agree he won the 10th and 12th though.

Thought he'd pulled off the win.

I think i had it 4-2 or something with a KD to the other fella when it off.
What I meant was I thought he had pulled it off because it seemed like he had won some rounds when it was off.

For my money, Burns won all the rounds when we were back live. But obviously we didn't see those 4 rounds.

Again, on what basis are people giving the 11th to Burns? Drinking the Jim Watt Kool Aid? That was a very clear round for DZ and scoring that for Ricky reeks of bias.

I also wouldn't score rounds that I didn't see.

So Crawfords best outing and biggest accomplishment was against this mirage of a good fighter he must have been built up over there to appear more than what he really is. Me likey this is good news .

DZ landed 2 or 3 clean head shots in that round but Burns did more work I thought. Would have to maybe watch it again.

Americans built up Burns to hype Crawford's victory over him. Like I said he lost at domestic level but then people kept saying that he was "exposed" by Beltran and/or Crawford

Burns threw more punches in the 11th but almost all of them were falling short and I can't recall one notable punch. DZ landed multiple solid power shots to the head, snapped Burns's head back with a jab, and beat up Burns's body in the last 30 seconds. Very clear round to me, one in which quality should ***** a higher work rate.

Sad state of British boxing
Ricky Burns loses each and every meaningful bout.
A ex footballer with a paper chin was British LWW champ.
Jim Watts still hasn't been sacked with his terrible biased scoring and commentating.

Look at the above and then I wonder why our fighters are 1 in a 1000 odds of being relative to the world stage.

British boxing needs a serious shake up.

Thats funny the commentators on the euro network seemed to think the guy was the second coming of Hatton that night, and they just felt he was getting beat because he wasn't "himself" just that night when in fact to me it looked like he was just being out fought and out boxed .

Burns needs to call it a day and hold the memory of when he beat Rocky Martinez for the title.
