Brilliant bout on allegedly, Buglioni v Markham

I'm recording it. No spoilers.

I'll not spoil it.

[Horse]

Theres something wrong with it when we are missing a 50-50 world title fight to see Joshua knock over yet another opponent chosen to make him look god like to the neutrals at home.

Yes, that's dumb. They should have shown the recording of this after the American stuff.

[ALI]

Is Burns due to start soon? Anyone willing to do a round by round? Wouod be much appreciated as i have no way of watching the fight.

Anyone complaining about spoilers should get of this thread.

CMON ricky

[Baboon]

Easy Burns round, lovely boxing. Gotta think Fig will get closer but that was very encouraging.

[palooka]

Burns wins round one

[Tarkus]

Burns looks sharp, wins the 1st round.

[ALI]

Excellent news, if Burns turns the clock back he has a great chance tonight.

[sucracristo]

mexicans cheering for omar doing anything but burns owned that first round

[ALI]

Keepnthe updates coming lads, much appreciated.

[palooka]

Fussy ref, good scrap.

[blanca]

REf itchin to take a point

[palooka]

Reallyhotting up, an inside fight, Omar landing uppercuts, Burns landing some hard shots but warned for rabbit punches.

[Tarkus]

Cole is starting to piss me off. Burns fighting both Figeroa and the ref.

[mrbishi]

Ref is being a bit of a dick, figueroas head is constantly low.

[MightyWarrior]

Burns boxing beautifully at times but the Mexican looks like he carries a serious dig

[sucracristo]

omar is sloppy and wild and the crowd screams for anything he does but burns
is technically much better. fig really isn't connecting on much and is winging
his heasd around on the inside, but burns is landing the cleaner shots and
blocking almost everything fig throws. burns also dictating when the exchanges
take place. the ref is in fig's pocket

[Baboon]

Thought Burns won the second too, but is potentially starting to fight the wrong fight, by keeping it on the inside. However some of his inside work is very good indeed.

[palooka]

Phonebooth stuff, Ricky landing heavy shots, Omar full of energy. Ricky holding his own, Omar turns southpaw a couple of times.

[jameswilson]

Are there a lot of Scots in the crowd or has a fight broken out in the arena? Seems some strange sounding chants.

[ALI]

Sounds like Ricky can outbox this guy, hopefully he wont get drawn into a war and fight the wrong fight.

[palooka]

Good fight, Ricky matching Omar for strength, Fig is quicker.

[Horse]

29-28 Burns

[sucracristo]

i might give 3rd to o.f. just based on work rate and not much connecting from either.
i can't see fig keeping that pace the whole fight like that, and he is leaving himself wide open
for counters.

[Baboon]

Ref is a useless pudendum, pulling arms off without calling break, he's hovering like a prevert at a playpark.
