(Notice the excellent form Ricky Burns is using in holding his opponent Paulus Moses to keep him from punching) By Scott Gilfoid: Nestor Tobias, the trainer for former WBA World lightweight champion Paulus Moses (28-2, 19 KO’s), believes his fighter had little chance to get a decision even going into Moses’ fight against WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns (34-2, 9 KO’s), and Moses himself felt he needed a knockout to win the fight. Tobias was put off by all the holding and pushing that Burns was permitted to get away with in the fight.
Burns-Moses
My take on Burns’ win over Moses
By Scott Gilfoid: Okay, I sat through and watched the entire fight between WBO lightweight champion Ricky Burns and 33-year-old challenger Paulus Moses last Saturday night and I have to admit that Burns looked pretty average and mediocre in beating a guy that was hardly throwing any punches. Burns got the win by a 12 round decision, but man did he basic as heck. Overall, it was an incredibly boring fight to watch. Someone said Burns is a superstar in the making. I almost choked when I heard that one.
