Burns - Beltran; ***FIGHT NIGHT THREAD***

[KingMonkey]

First topic message reminder :

Anyone know much of Beltran?  I've got to admit I don't but he's ranked high enough by Ring Mag for me to think this should be a competitive fight.

As much as I like Ricky he's never struck me as a 'world level' type of fighter.  Fringe perhaps.  A domestic fighter done good for sure but despite one or two decent enough wins I've always had the feeling that he's limited.  He got very lucky last time out agianst a fighter with a bit of class (although seemingly no heart).

Anyone shed some light on this one for me?  I'm looking forward to it all the same.

[Steffan]

His tactics are worse than Cleverly against Kovalev

[Boxtthis]

Burns doesn't seem to have the pop at long range to keep him off.

He's a stationary target on the ropes.

[Strongback]

Beltran cuts the ring off well. Burns getting caught on the ropes and can't get out too often.


Billy callling it spot on in the corner.

[mobilemaster8]

Beltran 10-9

[Lance]

burns should have points taken off for this holding im afraid. no point the ref just nicely mentioning it to him all the time

[Steffan]

Is Burns trying to 'rope a dope' him or something?

[monzon]

Burns getting well outclassed here. Yet more proof that the art to boxing is match-making. You can take a decent but not remarkable fighter and get him to world level just by avoiding these sort of tough nuts. Course, when the match-makers don't do their jobs...

[Boxtthis]

Beltran up either 3-2 or 4-1 depending on how rd 2 was scored

[Strongback]

Jim Watt is too negative. Belran is only really a couple up and there's a long way to go.

[TheMarvelousOne]

Burns has nothing to deter this guy. He's going to get walked down and stopped.

[monzon]

Have given Beltran four rounds, Burns two.

Fear Beltran's body shots will eventually wear Burns down.

[mobilemaster8]

10-9 burns. Mid way Beltran 2 rounds up for me.

[The Terror of Tylorstown]

57-57 so far

A much better round for Burns that, Beltran seems to be losing a bit of pop in his punches.

[Union Cane]

Oh dear. Richard could be in trouble here.

[mobilemaster8]

Is that a joke score card terror? I gave Burns the 1st and 6th.

[TheMarvelousOne]

He may only be a couple up but he has the momentum and Ricky seems to have no plan B. For once, Watts pessimism is well founded.

[The Terror of Tylorstown]

First, second and the sixth for Burns, don't see how having a difference of opinion on one round is a joke.

[Strongback]

Good to see Ricky pushing his way off the ropes.

[Strongback]

Beltran's getting tired

[Steffan]

Jim Watt likes to copy his fellow Scottish character Private James Frazer from 'Dads Army' I think

'Burns is dooooooooooomed'

[Dass]

I have Burns one up after that though it could easily be Beltran who's one up depending on who you gave the 2nd round to.

[mobilemaster8]

10-9 burns. He looks like an amateur though. He actually windmills like a drunken Makem on a Friday night.

[TheMarvelousOne]

Boom!!

[Strongback]

10-8 round. Ricky needs a KO

[Boxtthis]

Beltran took rd 7 off, but he's too strong

[TheMarvelousOne]

Was always going to be the left hook that was going to put him down...

[mobilemaster8]

10-8 Beltran....now have him 3 rounds to the good. Ricky needs to win every round from now for me.

[John Bloody Wayne]

Got it
Burns Beltran
10-9
9-10
9-10
9-10
9-10
9-10
10-9
8-10 73/78

[Boxtthis]

He needs the last 4 or a KO

74/77 for me

[Steffan]

Nothing Burns throws hurts Beltran

[Boxtthis]

Burns is usually technically sound, but right from the off tonight, he's been windmilling punches. Never seen him look so poor.

[mobilemaster8]

10-9 Beltran. Ricky needs a KO or a joke score card.

[John Bloody Wayne]

Slapping, spoiling and getting bullied.

Boxing needs to track down on holding and pushing.

[sparxz]

He has been poor since his match room switch, I was gonna put money on a Beltran ok prior to fight wish I had now. Can't see Ricky flooring this guy, he losses here IMO.

[John Bloody Wayne]

*crack

[Guest]

last two fights i've seen burns, he's been awful

[sparxz]

Also someone tell Jim watt to stfu while we at it he doing my swede in.

[Boxtthis]

I'll be surprised if Burns makes it to the scorecards at this rate.

[monzon]

Beltran's won 7 of the 10 rounds so far.

[mobilemaster8]

10-9 Beltran. Burns has been destroyed here. Don't know what he is doing, or has the wild card gym along with quality sparring partners benefited Beltran this much?!

[John Bloody Wayne]

He will survive and he'll get the verdict.

I like Ricky, but I don't like this performance.

[sparxz]

Sounds like excuses with this jaw talk, Beltran looks solid burns ragged, if this goes to points and burns wins I give up.

[sparxz]

Needs a knockout IMO, don't think he has it tho.

[Boxtthis]

Does Ricky get the 11th?

[John Bloody Wayne]

Ricky should try schoolyard fighting with those headlocks

[mobilemaster8]

Such a dominant performance from Beltran.

[TopHat24/7]

well, we say goodbye to one world champ thankfully only a couple of weeks after saying hello to a new one.....

[John Bloody Wayne]

Does Ricky get the 11th?

no way

[TopHat24/7]

His tactics are worse than Cleverly against Kovalev

LOL

Love the way you find anything to keep your spirits up about that!!

[Seanusarrilius]

Burns has been handled tonight. Fact
