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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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