Round-By-Round - Ryan Burnett (IBF) vs. Zhanat Zhakiyanov (WBA) - October 21st 2017

[MightyWarrior]

I mean Ryan really has the goods, But I’m not sure he needs to be exchanging bombs with this guy ...could make it much easier—- exciting fighter though

And ZZ Ain’t getting a decision here

I agree. Too bad his corner doesn't lol.

Hey it might be working though.

It does, could be easier for him as he shows when he moves and boxes - But maybe he knows he has to stand his ground with this guy otherwise you get run over

[MightyWarrior]

Well Dave Coldwell just said he had no idea who is winning the rounds, thanks Dave How much do we owe you?

[Tex-Mex]

Better round for ZZ. I think he took that one.

[Taansend]

Is Craig David big in Belfast?

RB Is the real McCoy tough as hell... goes the distance and surely he is getting the win here

Burnett is 1-33 on with bookies to get decision.

[sammy95]

RB 116 - 113 ZZ

Scorecards will be interesting, but I think it is clear that Burnett won the fight. Great final six rounds from Burnett.

Great fight.

Burnett should change his nickname to The Pitbull. He has a lot of dog in him

[sammy95]

Not sure about the scorecards, seemed a touch wide, but the correct decision nonetheless.

He showed grit to go with the skills.

Burnett earned it the hard way. Well deserved. Good fight.

Yup, the 116-112 card reflected the fight.

[MightyWarrior]

Wow ..every round ???

Really ? Was scrappy as could be and a mess of a fight .

[MightyWarrior]

Ha ha Ricky tells it like it is !!

He says

To be honest I thought Ryan nicked it, but those scorecards..shocking ( bursts out laughing )

[Tex-Mex]

Great fight.

That he did. He's made me a fan.

Wow ..every round ???

The judge Valerie was terrible 119-109 - same in the fight before this her card was dire.

[handsofstone]

117-112 Burnett for me, close fight but his flashier shots and quality nicked a lot of the close rounds on my card, he could've made that a lot easier on himself if he used his legs and boxed Zhakiyanov, he tried to outmuscle ZZ and for me a lot of the rounds were predictable, messy and repetitive, I couldn't really get into it, Zhakiyanov was relentless as ever but he didn't have the skills of Burnett and he struggled to land clean he done a good job of making Burnett miss as well mind but great win for Burnett I just hope he uses his skills next time, I was surprised Adam was telling him in the corner to break Zhakiyanov down instead of boxing him

[Andrew]

I thought Burnett won the fight but two of those scorecards are absolute disgusting.

Zz had no chance. To give him 1 or 2 rounds of that is insulting. Happening time and time again and Fat smigga smith got a rematch with Abraham because of crap like that.
