blackrican23 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 WBA super lightweight world champion Ricky Burns (41-5-1, 14 KOs) retained his world title with a twelve round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten Kiryl Relikh (21-1, 19 KOs) on Friday night at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland. Relikh pressed the action, but hometown hero Burns was busier and prevailed 118-110, 116-112, 116-112. Next up for The Rickster could be Adrien Broner. http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/burns-retains-wba-140lb-championship-355996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mofo2 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Average performance by Rick but he definitely won the fight, even though the scorecards were fucked...I had him two up myself! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrican23 Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 it was about seeing how legit this undefeated ko artist was cunty hardly burns, but i wouldnt expect for you to watch a fight so readily available on this site as always ( shout out to Big Seli ) when you spend all your time viewing my profile and lurking the shout so tell me riverbend lurker how many times you seen Kiryl Relikh fight on box rec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mofo2 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 First couple of rounds Relikh was excellent and the last three he won comfortably, but from 3 to 9 Burns found his range and was able to frustrate him - ive no doubt if he had a couple of better quality fights the last time out going into the fight he would have taken this one....experience won the day in this bout!

blackrican23 Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 I had never even seen his name till a few days ago, going by record I thought he would be some muscluar stalking wider puncher type but this guy has very little muscle tone and doesnt fight with the tightness of a big puncher but very relaxed and fluid . Think Burns needed few rounds to get use to his handspeed more than his power . Would like to see Relikh vs a more stationary target like a broner to gauge his power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to see Relikh vs a more stationary target like a broner to gauge his power The potential is there, but I thought he was a little unfair in the post-fight interview that he saw Burns as a runner - Ricky was just smarter. I wonder if the downfall for Relikh was more that he moved in straight lines instead of angles; initially he was having success but it became predictable, he only started to have success again as Burns tired in the final 3 rounds or so! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
