For speaking the truth after the fight. Other pundits beat around the bush and try to defend the home man but Johnny told it how it is. That's what they should do. Don't think Eddie would of been to pleased though

Eddie said on iFilm that Burns didn't win.

But did he deserve the draw?

Go on twitter he of no knowledge!! Both Hearns Junior and Senior have said they thought Burns lost. Hearns senior is stating that the RIGHT thing should happen and a rematch ordered.

Johnny, Johnny, give us a wave! He should have given them a wave.

Appreciated Johhny's honesty after the fight.

Ive a liked Nelson(as a pundit) and good on him for being honest and not trying to sugar coat it


Cue all the haters coming on claiming he was disrespectful for not waving

Nelson's final WBO title defence was a worse decision that Beltran vs Burns. The WBO judges gifted Johnny a home town draw and he then retired as champ. Disgraceful verdict. He was big enough to acknowledge this last night, but at the time he talked crap and claimed he'd won.......

Errr, wasn't Nelson's last a defense a split decision victory on the road in Italy?

Yes, you're right. My point still stands but has been diminished by your correction

(if only there was a boxing website that had boxers records so I could check these things first.....)

You mean the decision following which his opponent failed the drugs test ?
So you prefer drugs cheats to win do you ?

I believe the fight your talking about was against Guillermo Jones. It was not his last defense (he made 3 more after it). His opponent tested positive for PED after the fight tho. I remember that fight, I thought Jones edged it, this was a way worse decision though.

I believe you are correct.
