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

[rossij8]

Great win for Indongo but not a shut out imo

Closer in the first few rounds

[lefty]

You watch the scores be a lot closer than they should.

[skanksta]

Indongo won in 2nd gear.
Wouldn't be the biggest price to beat Crawford.
I'd imagine Crawford would get through and KO him at some point, but no foregone conclusion - seriously awkward customer.

[Andrew]

Indongo masterclass 120-108.

Really hope Burns packs it in now. I don't want to see him as a stepping stone for younger fighters.

At least go out in a unification fight.


Now hope Top Rank treat Indongo to ringside tickets and a trip to NYC for the Crawford v Diaz fight and then a fight for all the belts in the summer / early autumn.

"Every round Howard Foster whispers to us" - oh okay Sky

[ThereByTheGrace]

Very very easy!

[MightyWarrior]

Such a sorrowful voice from the MC announcing the scores

[BigGar]

116-112?!

[lefty]

Am I the only person that thinks if you get punched in the head and fall over then it's a knockdown against you?

Exactly. At least 2 knockdowns there

If it was the other way round, lets be honest they would have been ruled knockdowns.

[lefty]

8-4

[Andrew]

116-112 hahahahahah what an idiot.

That's who was given the brown envelope then

[lefty]

Wtf was that

[samwbr]

116-112

[lefthook82]

8-4

There is always one isn't there

[Fearful_Freddie]

116-112?!

Odd.

[Neil Gee]

116-112 hahahahahah what an idiot.

That's who was given the brown envelope then

Haha :)

[lefty]

We need subtitles here lol.

[crusader]

120-108

Indongo did for 12 what Gonzalez did for five. No one-hit wonder here....

[lefty]

Classy as usual from Ricky.

[lefty]

I respect him for being honest as always.

[lefty]

120-108

Indongo did for 12 what Gonzalez did for five. No one-hit wonder here....

It reminded me a lot of that fight, bar the falling apart part of course lol.

Hugely foregone conclusion, I'd be shocked if indongo did as well as burns.

[Stuarty]

Gave Burns a share of two but that's being kind. Great win for Indongo. Fantastic performance from him. I doubt they'll be much of a queue clamouring to face the big Namibian after that.

[wesshaw1985]

Burns vs. Postol, Molina jr, Troyanovsky or Provodnikov whichever pays the most...

[skanksta]

116-112 hahahahahah what an idiot.

That's who was given the brown envelope then

for betting purposes I always score 3 judges cards...

One fair as I see it with no thought to reputation, home-cooking etc.
One fair, but swayed by status, crowd, home-town fighter etc.
One bent, where they give everything they possible can to the home fighter.

and that makes in this case..

120-108
118-110
116-112

Brown envelopes indeed
