By Scott Gilfoid: Scotland native Ricky Burns (37-4-1, 11 KOs) is all bent out of shape that he’s seen as the sacrificial lamb for Saturday’s fight against former WBC lightweight champion Omar Figueroa (24-0-1, 18 KOs) in their fight at the State Farm Arena, in Hidalgo, Texas, USA.
The 32-year-old Burns wants fans to know that he’s coming to beat the 25-year-old Figueroa on Saturday and pull off a big upset. Burns has lost two out of his last three fights, and looked awful in every sense of the word. Just how he plans on beating a talent like Figueroa is anyone’s guess.
