A disgrace not mentioning Burn's win on Ringside last night

[Final round]

Pretty quick to criticise Sky Billy considering the exposure they've given you and Burns...

[Giancarlo]

Spreading anti-English feelings, that's the way to make Ricky into a bigger star across the country!

I think a defence against an English fighte would sell more tickets than against the likes of Layera!

There isnt an englishman good enough you idiot get real

You sound drunk again.

[goldenears]

Can someone remind me again (I've asked this before) but who apart from the mighty Nicky Cook did Martinez defeat to gain the honour of "genuine world champion" & "absolutely the top guy in the division"?

Was it Gonzalo Munguia? No? What about Feider Viloria?

& again, I'm not disputing that it was a good win, nor that it wasn't an impressive performance. But fvck me you'd think Burns beat Juan Manuel Marquez the way some of you go on about Martinez.

i might be wrong but i'm pretty sure he was the number 1 SFW in Ring Magazine at the time.

It is a very weak division.

Does Martinez have a win better than his victory against Cook on his record?

[Emmseegee]

Billy's getting picked on a bit here! Lol

They did show it! Was i watching the wrong show or something?

[boxerbob]

it last 10 seconds mate and was part of a seperate montage

we only have 4 world champions and they deserve exposure on the show , damn they even spent more time showing the highlighst of the martinez fight...which is a good idea aslong as you do it with our fighters and have a bit of a discussion about it

He was #2.

I have to agree with Datsue. Good win, but Martinez has been made into a far more formidable fighter than he really is.

[goldenears]

feel a bit for burns here...like i said earlier, when he fought at Upton Park that wasnt a future World Champion i thought i was watching. Credit where credits due and all that, i though personally that was a big big win v martinez..just my opinion like

[hurlock]

just because austin powers is english, billy shouldnt hate us all D

billy is a top class trainer but burns is no way near on the level of a scott harrison, he is not the real mcoy imo.

I agree it was a good win,however its been built up to be even better than it was like martinez was the second coming of salvador sanchez or something!

It was a great win and was roundly applauded in here and on SKY sports.

I didn't see Billy accusing us of being racists at that time...

[reggaereggae]

I thought Dzindiruk looked really good, but Martinez was just a level above in accuracy

I could see the point of the argument if it was a proper match up but it wasnt it was a stay warm fight. It didnt have any historical significance. Did it really deserve anything more than a passing mention? They did a decent section on burns and the gym last week.

[Finn]

I dont think im going overboard he by highlighting this point,Britian only has 4 world champions and im sure if any of the other 3 would have defended there title the week before it would have got good exposure. Ive seen boxers lose the title shots and getting a slot on the show!The question needs asked are Ringside anti Scottish?

I've just re-read this and realised what you're implying.

The question needs to be asked - do you have a chip on your shoulder?

You're starting to sound like Kanye West.

it was a good bit they did last week no doubs mate , i just feel that they should have spent at least 5 mins on the fight going over what happened and if there was any news on what ricky is doing next.

i might be wrong but i'm pretty sure he was the number 1 SFW in Ring Magazine at the time.

He was #2.

I have to agree with Datsue. Good win, but Martinez has been made into a far more formidable fighter than he really is.

Who has Fana beaten that is so much more impressive? Klassen and Baloyi are his biggest names and neither are anything special. Not much between the records of Martinez and Fana as I see it.

I agree. Shows how weak the division is. Looking at the BoxRec rankings I would say that anyone inside the top 20 would have a decent shot at beating any of the current belt holders.

DeGale, Groves, I'm really happy for you and ima let you finish, but Ricky Burns is the greatest Scottish boxer of all time.
