    What a fight. Ricky's all round ability looks impressive and well deserved winner in the tactical knock-out. His powers better than I have seen previously.

    I'm sure he says he's going to Floyd Mayweathers gym to train....... hes definitely going to turn into a monster of a all rounder.

    Well done Ricky. :50: :celt_2:

    Some performance by Burns btw. Got to say the sheer size and power he has for a lightweight, I think he could easily step up to light welter/welterweight and take on the likes of Amir Khan...and punch * out him, which he would! Clear up at lightweight and step up should defo be the plan.

    The thing is he doesn't usually have the power, it's his great boxing brain that gets him through.

    That being said, he just seems to add another dimension with every fight.

    There is no reason why he can't add more power to what he showed tonight, unify the titles and then step up.

    Most improved fighter I have seen in a long time (in such a short space of time)
