Broner-Burns

Broner: I hope Ricky Burns doesn’t try to avoid fighting me again

by

broner237By Scott Gilfoid: WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner (25-0, 21 KO’s) is starting to get the sinking suspicion that WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns (35-2, 10 KO’s) will be looking to avoid fighting him now that Broner has gotten past Antonio DeMarco with an impressive knockout victory and is setting his laser sights on the UK fighter.

With Burn’s cancelled fight this Saturday against Jose Ocampo, Broner was hoping Burns would agree to fight him on February 16th next year, and his promoter Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions said he was going to try and persuade Burns to accept a fight with Broner. But we’ve learned is that Burns won’t be fighting Broner, and that he instead will be fighting on January 26th against an opponent still to be determined.

Broner to fight on February 16th, Ricky Burns the leading candidate

Image: Broner to fight on February 16th, Ricky Burns the leading candidateBy Scott Gilfoid: WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner (25-0, 21 KO’s) will be back fighting on February 16th on HBO, and WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns (35-2, 10 KO’s) is reportedly the leading candidate for the fight, according to RingTV.

Burns isn’t nailed down for the fight, though, because he first of all has to win his scheduled fight next Saturday night against 2nd tier replacement opponent Jose Ocampo (17-5-1, 12 KO’s), but the odds are very high that Burns wins that fight without problems given the opposition that’s been picked out for him.

Broner vs. Burns not what boxing fans want to see

Image: Broner vs. Burns not what boxing fans want to seeBy Scott Gilfoid: Golden Boy Promotions might want to take a long look at the poll over at RingTV where they ask who boxing fans want to WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner to fight next. Instead of Ricky Burns, the fighter that Golden Boy is considering for Broner’s next fight, fans in large numbers prefer to see Broner fight Brandon Rios or Danny Garcia.

Obviously fans don’t really care that those two fighters are light welterweights and not lightweights. They’re smart enough to realize that 5 pounds isn’t enough to keep a big fight between Broner and one of them from happening.

Broner unlikely to step into the ring against Burns

Image: Broner unlikely to step into the ring against BurnsBy Marcus Stewart: Newly crowned WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner stated to HBO that he’d fight anyone, be that at lightweight or weights above. I can’t see this being true, considering the fact that Ricky Burns would most likely spank him in a unification bout. Adrien Broner wants nothing to do with the Scottish talent.

There has been a lot of talk about them fighting but I don’t get why? Adrien Broner is overly hyped up by the American media and overall has a very basic style that is easy to exploit. Broner was exposed embarrassingly against the hard punching Daniel Ponce de Leon. He was hit with some many body shots, it looked like he didn’t know how to cover up and block punches.

But the truth of the matter is Broner’s world will collapse once he faces Ricky Burns.

Burns, the WBO champion has called on Broner to fight him, yet Broner has had no interest in facing the Scottish world Champion.
