ricky burns - raman martinez sky sports1 9 pm

i have not seen a great deal of either man but what i have seen leads me to say martinez by stoppage , unless he gets cut his eyes look soft in recent pics so if ricky can be acurrate enough he can cut him up , but other than that i cant see ricky winning not even a home cooked decision as it will be to wide ,if it gets that far

Ricky Burns is world champ.

Unanimous points decision.

Fully deserved even though he got up from the floor in the 1st round, outclassed martinez.

Absolutely delighted he was excellent.
Party time i thinks...

very glad i was wrong deserved that and i mean it

i hadnt seen alot of either man but ricky was as fantastic as martinez was crude brilliant fight and only the start on the boxing season on sky

WELL DONE RICKY

Superb Ricky Burns.Well done fella.Quality performance.

While this isn't a surprise it is a big disappointment, Ricky has let a lot of people down here, but like i say not a surprise as his lifestyle out of the ring is not very porfessional.
As for this woman being a friend of Hatton's... If your a mate you don't go to the NOTW with a story that you know will tarnish Hatton's reputation Tyson style, she should've had a word with the man himself or at worst his family... One things for sure i wouldn't wanna be in the Hatton household when his mom Carol wakes up in the morning

for god sake not another one of my heroes being caught.
I hate theese news of the world articles investigations,its thrashy journalism.

thier certain things you dont want to know about your heroes!
another icon and role model they have put down.

Although this can be categorized as not a good example, I wouldn't crucified Hatton for this either...

Many of my friends smoke pot or consume cocaine and my opinion of them didn't changed when I found out.

Some of them love ciggys, I'm a bit of a drinker and I'm sure many of us are used to consume legal drugs. Yes, i mean the ones prescibed by the GP every so often. To my eyes, Im not so different form the Hitman.

Then why in the hell the f@cking NOTW try to play GOD and judges Hatton for a night or a life of binge??? They didnt complain when he made headlines and sold tons of news paper at the time he was one of boxings biggest starts. I bet my house that 95% of the people who works in that news paper has had at least 1 line in their life. Bunch of hipocrits!!!

I wouldn't like to see Hatton dying of any adiction, but at the end of the day is his decision how he wants to leave this world.

Meanwhile I'll remember him as a honest fighter who always gave everything he has in the ring.

After the career Hatton had and all the training he did I don't blame him at all for living it up and as for the news of the world they can all fuck off,they probably sold him the coke in the first place,scum journalist bastards!!!!!

Enzo Maccarinelli getting ko'd in last weeks fight, pretty brutal ko imo. The ko starts from about the 10:20 mark

does anyone know how much fraudley harrison is going to earn from the haye fight ? i was just wondering were he's getting his arrogance from ? and if he's gettin a massive payday from the fight then i can understand coz he'll av nothing to lose. im not a huge boxing fan i mainly watch the big events mayweather, pacman, hatton(joke) but i watched a few fights with harrison back when itv did friday fight night shite and he was getting taken all the way by people who just look they boxed for a hobbie on the weekends. he's so slow i cant see him getting anywhere near haye, i heard that other than the valuev fight haye had never gone past the 5th round dont know if thats true, i despise harrison so i hope haye just fly's out of the blocks and i can see him putting him down in 3 and hopefully into a coma or retirement which ever im not fussed.
