Watching the first three rounds I think Ricky burns is boxing very classy and is looking a real world champion hope he comes through this what a performance it will be..!! Think he looking excellent so far making katsidis look very predictable...!

I could see burns stopping him..! He is looking fantastic!!

I thought the last two rounds were quite competitive.

Competitive I'n the sense katsisdis throwing lots and all being taken on the arms by burns tight guard.. Looking excellent has impressed me alot so far.. Showing an excellent defence tonight and great body to head shots.. Classy!!

Katsidis is actually landing a number of body shots. Ricky is definitely doing the neater work though.

Yes but burns is seeing them shots and taking it mostly on the arms but each time burns lands a jab and throws I'n that classy hook to the body katsidis doesn't see it and gets hurt each time..

Burns is looking classy at the minute. Didn't think he'd be this strong at the weight.

Yh same niether did I freddy but he looks really good!!

Yep, and it's definitely more a case of him impressing tonight more than Katsidis not turning up. He's just had too many answers for MK

Very impressed with Burns tonight. Really enjoyed watching his work.

Well done billy your man beat a genuine top 6 or 7 lightweight in the world tonight.

that he did, now lets see him take on quality opposition on a more regular basis. He has shown that he can mix it at a high level

That win will certainly get him noticed, even in defeat I enjoyed Katsidis display he is such a warrior never a dull fight with him involved.
