Round-By-Round - Ricky Burns (WBA) vs. Julius Indongo (IBF/IBO) - April 15th 2017

[SaadOffTheDeck]

War Burns, such an honest, gritty fighter.

Above-average skills, heart for months

This is a fight where his lack of pop might hurt him because this Indongo guy has pitiful defense with crazy dimensions.

[Deno1986]

Indongo has super footwork. Whether he can keep that going for 12 rounds is another thing.

[blanca]

can hear mike costello with five live commentary in background

[lefty]

Indongo is clearly not just a puncher. He's more of your typical awkward, southpaw from what I can see.

[Andrew]

Indongo 20-18

[Fearful_Freddie]

Indongo looks in a higher division. Hope he tires out.

[davie]

Interesting that its the scottish anthem and not God save the queen.

Not really

Well you dont have 'jerusalem' played at the fights of English fighters.

Am I right in saying the majority of English people identify GSTQ as their national anthem?

The vast majority of Scots don't.

Ricky certainly won't

[Counter-puncher]

remember before the fight when billy nelson said BUrns doesn't box southpaws well?

[Neil Gee]

I think Burns is doing the right thing, the only thing he can do really, keeping his distance.

[rossij8]

10-10 rnd 2

[lefty]

2-0 indongo.

Should have voted leave.

He's still at world level about 4 years and 8 fights past when I expected him to be, and I never expected him to get this far anyway (though I did think Martinez was a good style match for him), he's been a crazy-overachiever

[MightyWarrior]

Adam Smith never fails to mention what a nice guy ( insert name here ) is outside the ring.

[Counter-puncher]

I've never liked BUrns ' habit of just giving shots to the body

[lefty]

Its rare you see Burns being outworked.

[Andrew]

Indongo 30-27

[Counter-puncher]

Adam Smith never fails to mention what a nice guy ( insert name here ) is outside the ring.

To be fair the two main ones I recall him doing hat with, Crolla and Burns, obviously are genuine nice guys

[Exoddus]

Indongo 3-0 up clear.

[Counter-puncher]

Its rare you see Burns being outworked.

He's deliberately laying back IMO

[Counter-puncher]

Its rare you see Burns being outworked.

He's deliberately laying back IMO

But needs to step up

[skanksta]

27-30 JI
Burns can't or won't pull the trigger

[lefty]

Not a fan of Coldwell on commentary.

[Counter-puncher]

War Burns, such an honest, gritty fighter.

Above-average skills, heart for months

This is a fight where his lack of pop might hurt him because this Indongo guy has pitiful defense with crazy dimensions.

Not just lack of pop,by the way,but lack of infighting ability against the taller guy for a change

[Finn]

Burns needs to start landing or he's going to throw too many rounds away.
