Ricky Burns
Can Nicky Cook ‘burn’ Ricky?
By Ian Aldous: On Saturday July 16th at the Echo arena in Liverpool, Ricky Burns (31-2) defends his WBO Super-featherweight title against fellow Brit, Nicky Cook (30-2). One thing is for sure that night. The atmosphere will be feisty and tickets are selling fast. It’s always special whenever England and Scotland compete in any sporting event. It’s also even spicier due to the fact that Nicky Cook used to own the very same belt that he will be challenging for.
Burns beats Laryea, possible unification in the summer
By Dan Risk: Ricky Burns (31-2-0 KO’s 7) continued his impressive run of form by beating the tough African Joseph Laryea (14-2-0 KO’s 11) in retaining his WBO super-featherweight title after the challenger was forced to retire before the eight round with a reported right hand injury.
Prediction: Look for Laryea to beat Burns black and blue tonight
By Scott Gilfoid: It’s going to be a sad night for fans of WBO super featherweight champion Ricky Burns (30-2, 7 KO’s), who is taking on the hard hitting #11 ranked World Boxing Organization contender Joseph Laryea (14-4, 11 KO’s) at the Braehead Arena, in Glascow, Scotland. This fight is supposed to be a partial payback for Laryea’s beating of fellow countryman Paul Appleby last December, when Appleby made the huge mistake of trying to go toe-to-toe with the hard hitting Laryea and ended up getting his backside handed to him on plate.
Burns might have more than he bargained for with Laryea
By Sean McDaniel: WBO super featherweight champion Ricky Burns has been receiving a lot or positive press since capturing the World Boxing Organization title against Ramon Martinez. Burns has defended the title once against Andreas Evensen and will be making his 2nd defense of the belt on Saturday night against the hard hitting Joseph Laryea at the Braehead Arena, in Scotland.
Burns may have some problems with Laryea on Saturday
By Sean McDaniel: The light hitting WBO super featherweight champion Ricky Burns (30-2, 7 KO’s) may have a fight on his hands on Saturday night against the 5’11” Joseph Laryea (14-4, 11 KO’s) at the Braehead Arena, Glasgow, Scotland. Burns, 27, is the older fighter by two years, but Laryea punches a lot harder and can punch with a lot of power either hand. Laryea is similar to Colombian Breidis Prescott, a fighter that took out Amir Khan in one round in 2008.
Burns vs. Laryea on Saturday: Another mismatch for Ricky
By Scott Gilfoid: WBO super featherweight champion Ricky Burns (30-2, 7 KO’s) will be facing yet another mismatched opponent this Saturday night in little known Ghanian Joseph Laryea (14-4, 11 KO’s) at the Braehead Arena, in Glascow, Scotland. This is Burns’ second title defense of his World Boxing Organization strap that he won last year with a close 12 round decision over the weight drained champion Roman Martinez. It looks like Burns is milking his WBO title by defending it against the #11 ranked Laryea.
Burns vs. Laryea: Will Ricky finally step it up a couple notches after this?
By Scott Gilfoid: To say that WBO super featherweight champion Ricky Burns (30-2, 7 KO’s) has been a disappointing champion is putting things mildly. Instead of seeing exciting fights against top super featherweights like Takashi Uchiyama, Jorge Linares, Jason Litzau, Robert Guerrero, Jorge Solis or Takahiro Aoh, we’ve had to settle for Burns taking a counter by the name of Andreas Evensen, who came into the fight with Burns having fought only 14 times during his career.
Burns faces Laryea on 3/12
By Scott Gilfoid: Instead of facing his number #1 ranked contender Terdsak Janaeng or the dangers Roberto Guerrero, World Boxing Organization (WBO) super featherweight champion Ricky Burns (30-2, 7 KO’s) is dipping down into the number 10 spot to face the inexperienced Ghanaian Joseph Laryea (14-4, 11 KO’s) on March 12th at the Braehead Arena, in Glasgow, Scotland.
Burns to fight Laryea in March
By Scott Gilfoid: Well, it looks like WBO super featherweight champion Ricky Burns (30-2, 7 KO’s) is going to be taking another soft touch when he defends his World Boxing Organization title for the second time against #10 ranked Joseph Laryea (14-4, 11 KO’s) in March, according to Frank Warren. It looks like Burns is continuing the milking process which started with his first defense against little known fringe contender Andreas Evensen in December 2010.
