Ricky Burns Vs Jose Gonzalez

[cabumbo90210]

Love this fight, so many people complaining about it and yeah it isnt the best fight Ricky could take and he should win it but he had to as it was the mandatory fight and no matter what it will be exciting and I'm positive we wont see the final bell. Gonzalez has little footage available but hes a counter puncher and he can bang, good KO ratio. But truth is their against bums and when you watch some of his fights he gets hit a lottttt before he makes them pay and puts them to sleep, anyone could do that against that level of competition. Yeah he obviously has skills but I really have to favor Burns as this is a huugggggeee step up in competition for Jose and if he fights light he fought in those videos the mistakes he was making would make it an easy night for Burns. He was basically relying on guys hitting him then overcommiting and countering which is boxing 101 and will never work against a classy fighter like Burns. Burns is not a huge puncher but from what i've seen of Gonzalez I believe this is way to big a step up and its in Glasgow so I see him feeling early pressure from Burns and when he makes those rookie mistakes Burns will punish him far greater than his other opponents could have done. Jose has power but when he throw his power shot he loads up like crazy on it which really doesn't work at world (or even high level domestic) level so if he chooses to throw bombs he will get countered himself and put to sleep. Jose's only shot is to KO Burns as it is in Glasgow so that being said and watching his fights I see him getting desperate and swinging for the fences and getting Ko'd. I know Burns is more of a decision fighter but styles make fights and with Jose's inexperience and belief in his KO ability I cant see him making the final bell Ricky burns by KO/TKO or DSQ - 15/8
