Ricky Burns vs Kevin O'Hara - Who wins and how?

I'm interested in betting on this fight. How sure would you be (in %) of Burns beating Hara by decision?

Would put a flutter on Burns is a sound boxer he should beat O'Hara on points

Another rubbish looking fight.

i could see burns stop him in the middle to late rounds. likely result is a wide decision in favour of burns.

mon the rickster!

Burns vs Mitchell. Let's go!

I quite like the look of a Burns KO @ 5/2

Yeah, what odds on burns points... rubbish I guess

But to be fair, Arthur versus someone with a 16-15 record will be fun to watch.

Top bill, again.

Was really looking forward to the original match with Foster Jnr...

Burns is about 1/2 to win on points. I like the 10/3 on offer with skybet on Burns winning by TKO

Never really hunted about for a price last night but that 100/30 does make plenty of appeal.

IMO it should be a comfortable night for Ricky. I dont know much about O'Hara but looking at his record, it looks like every time he has stepped up a level, he is found wanting. All his defeats are against decent fighters (never been stopped) but i cant see any significant wins on his record. This is also his first 12 rounder, could that come into play?

He fought Willie Limond over 12

It was over 10

Best price about a Burns KO is currently 16-5 with Totesport. Points is 1-2. I think it might be worth chancing a stoppage win for Ricky.

ok , i was there aswell shows you how much attention i pay
im sure it was for a Title so thought it was over the 12

must have been celtic or something

taken burns rounds 7-9 @8/1 with ladbrokes. also put a wee bet on burns round 6 @25's

Fvcking ridiculous decision. No fvcking way that scottish pudendum won that fight, never mind by those scores!!!
This is what I hate about boxing.

naughty scoring there and dave parris by 7 rounds wtf

I don't mean any offense to scottish people in general. Just that pudendum in the pink shorts.

i have suspicions about parris i doubt he can be that bad at reffing and scoring

terrible people talk about bad european judges what a terrible decision 117-110 what fight were they watching

terrible scoring , burns prob just shaded it but come on

and what was the point in A.A.As apponent should have been someone a bit more rounded and more experinced than that,mind the days f.w used to bring over some tough mexicans for gomez and farnell? is the budget that tight? he should have been in with a guy with a record of more like 30-4 or somthing not 15-16!

anyway thats me had my rant am off to bed
