Creampuff 22,628 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Why not just attempt to survive the fight and hope you've done enough in the first 7? . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainAmerica18 846 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Why not just attempt to survive the fight and hope you've done enough in the first 7? .He very likely had won all 7. Fucking senile Jim Watt threw one to Burns from nowhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band of Brothers 10,303 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Wonder if he'll get a rematch and come back fitter?nae chance Burns will avoid him after that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 He very likely had won all 7. Fucking senile Jim Watt threw one to Burns from nowhere.Even if he could do nothing but throw jabs with wobbly legs and a broken wrist, all he had to do was not get knocked out and he would probably be champion. Ricky Burns has beaten him in no department but in heart. Great win for the Champ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan 23 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 After the 7th his legs had gone. He wouldn't have survived another round IMO. bluebell82 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Agree with all the comments saying he could have carried on even with an injury.What a shitebag but credit to Burns for pushing him into it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 My initial reaction is that he knew his legs wouldn't give him another round and he chucked it before he was knocked out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiser1041 9,088 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Ricky was poor tonight reaching an awful lot.just goes to show to be a champion skill isn't enough.happy for him none the less Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the goal machine 7,801 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I think Malinaggi will beat Broner, or at least beat him but lose a dodgy decision.Malignaggi will definitely give him a good fight but I think Broner is the real deal. A weird fight to take right enough. Should have concentrated on unifying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quitting from the stool is shockingI think he gave it a go in the 8th and had nothing. 9th he would have been a sitting duck.
