Burns - Beltran; ***FIGHT NIGHT THREAD***

by KingMonkey Wed 04 Sep 2013, 9:52 am

Anyone know much of Beltran? I've got to admit I don't but he's ranked high enough by Ring Mag for me to think this should be a competitive fight.

As much as I like Ricky he's never struck me as a 'world level' type of fighter. Fringe perhaps. A domestic fighter done good for sure but despite one or two decent enough wins I've always had the feeling that he's limited. He got very lucky last time out agianst a fighter with a bit of class (although seemingly no heart).

Anyone shed some light on this one for me? I'm looking forward to it all the same.

by mobilemaster8 Wed 04 Sep 2013, 9:57 am

Not sure King mate. He is one of those fighters where you hear his name mentioned quite a bit but not seen him fight or seen any of his fights at all.

Burns is a decent operator, like you said. His heart pulled him through last time out against someone id never even heard of, but quite clearly had bags of taken with no heart.

Im predicting a UD for burns this weekend based on my lack of knowledge on Beltrans behalf.

by Lance Wed 04 Sep 2013, 8:47 pm

the other guy getting injured won it for Burns last time. not disrespecting Burns though, that guy was quality. Beltran is not as good and I think Burns has been well matched here in order to get him a win before they look for a bigger fight.

by Steffan Wed 04 Sep 2013, 8:56 pm

Beltran will lose

by KingMonkey Fri 06 Sep 2013, 12:02 pm

Very much looking forward to this now, no less because it kick starts an excellent few months of boxing. I'll have to be out of the room or have the volume off for the teeth grinding bagpipes and Flower Of Scotland but other than that I'll be glued.

Obviously hoping for a Ricky win but most of all a good performance after last time.

boxing on a channel i can watch, at a decent time!! feels like an age since ive watched boxing!

Haven't seen a lot of Beltran and have heard mixed reports about his ability. You never underestimate a Mexican, but if he's much better than expected you'd wonder about who's doing the match-making given there are a couple of potentially huge fights on the horizon.

One thing's for sure, Ricky looked terrible against Gonzalez. Got tagged frequently and his movement was well off. Hope he boxes this guy at range, short combinations and away. Get him out of there. A war isn't necessary.

Burns by late stoppage.

HBO are picking this fight up and they are excited by it apparently.

You gonna be watching it then Huck

Who you cheering for?

by AlexHuckerby Sat 07 Sep 2013, 7:47 pm

I deffo want Burns to win it, being British and all that.

Beltrans a tough little guy though, it shouldn't be easy.

Sadly I'm not getting to watch it, at work until 11PM, going out for my mates birthday, and then back at work for 7AM tommorow. #ReadyForIt

Are you a police officer or something?

by AlexHuckerby Sat 07 Sep 2013, 8:02 pm

Haha, I think we've all established that I generally get jobs that are far less manly than that.

by **hampo17** Sat 07 Sep 2013, 8:09 pm

Looking forward to this, be interesting to see if Beltran has that Wildcard style of all out attack and very little defence.

by **Union Cane** Sat 07 Sep 2013, 8:12 pm

Callum Smith up first, KO1 I should imagine.

by **hampo17** Sat 07 Sep 2013, 8:13 pm

Be a good show if he does that UC, this lad took Builongi the distance in his last fight.

by **hampo17** Sat 07 Sep 2013, 8:16 pm

Lovely body shot by Smith drops him in round one, and it's all over.

Hope you put money on that Union. Smith needs to be stepped up now, he works the body very well for such a tall guy, has a good jab and looks to have real talent.

by Steffan Sat 07 Sep 2013, 8:17 pm

As Cane predicted

by KO-KING Sat 07 Sep 2013, 9:08 pm

seen beltran few times, burns should win a wide clear decision, he is good at rolling his head to punches but average in everything else - fringe contender, would beat the likes of gavin rees - but on that level

When your mates are drinking pints will you be downing a few Cosmopolitans.

Howard Webb vs Harry Hill isn't bad for a cruiser fight.

by **hampo17** Sat 07 Sep 2013, 9:42 pm

Nick Halling is an awful commentator, he constantly talks carp.

by wheelchair1991 Sat 07 Sep 2013, 9:45 pm

who is simmons promoted by?

by PPVxHOTTY Sat 07 Sep 2013, 9:48 pm

Graf impressive considering its his 1st time in fight like this.. but Simmons done enough to take decision.

Burns to stop Beltran betweens round 7-9. Apparently Beltran is Pacquiao's sparring partner.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat 07 Sep 2013, 9:55 pm

Simmons should have spent more energy on Graf's body. Not a bad fight between novices though.

by **superflyweight** Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:00 pm

Ian John Lewis scored that 99-91. What a useless mong!

by Steffan Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:15 pm

O flower of Scotland
When will we see your like again
That fought and died for
Your wee bit hill and glen
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

The hills are bare now
And autumn leaves lie thick and still
O'er land that is lost now
Which those so dearly held
And stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward
Tae think again

Not enough jokes have been made that Michael Buffer is essentially Mickey Buffer...

by mobilemaster8 Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:16 pm

Good fight that.

Not mad on Cardle......

Moving on, in going for Burns LKO or wide UD. Should be good fun though, got it on my laptop on silent whilst the missus sits ahead of me watching sky. Bliss.

Usually its me by myself at stupid oclock. Makes a change.

by Strongback Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:16 pm

Beltran looks relaxed and confident in the ring walk.

by mobilemaster8 Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:20 pm

Yeh but beltran has been sparring with pacquiao who punches like a hammer on steroids.

Going in against Burns must be a relief in terms of power.

saying that, burns has a few stoppages of late......

by Strongback Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:21 pm

There was a time when fighters with tattoo's were almost to a man crap.

Don't like Ricky's tat's especially the one high up on his neck. Has he been to jail?

by Strongback Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:22 pm

Any of you guys booing the Columbian national anthem from your living room?

by rob-glos Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:24 pm

So does the girl singing get to eat the loser?

Good motivator.

First time I've read the words in total. It really is a rebel song.

by mobilemaster8 Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:25 pm

Nah, ive only just turned volume on. Cant be arsed listening to drunken scotsmen and a south American anthem. I just want to watch a fight and hear buffer. Lets get ready to rumble!

by The Terror of Tylorstown Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:27 pm

Come on Ricky, one of my favourites, he's not the best but you can't fail to be impressed by somebody who makes the absolute most of his talent. Vasquez next please.

by mobilemaster8 Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:32 pm

Good round from burns 10-9 looks sharp but a bit too eager....

by TheMarvelousOne Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:32 pm

Ricky a bit over eager in that round but still won it.

by Boxtthis Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:34 pm

A bit wild with those looping punches, but he's dominating. Left hooks to the body are good.

by mobilemaster8 Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:36 pm

10-9 beltran. Had him hurt in end there quite a bit.

by **Union Cane** Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:36 pm

Oh dear. Richard could be in trouble here.

by TheMarvelousOne Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:37 pm

Ricky's going to earn his money tonight. Danger for Ricky when Beltran has him on the ropes.

by Boxtthis Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:38 pm

Beltran walking him down a bit. His left hook is strong.

by TheMarvelousOne Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:39 pm

Don't know what kind of engine Beltran has but if he keeps this up into the later rounds then Ricky gets stopped.

by Steffan Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:40 pm

I think Ricky will wear him down. Well I hope so anyway

by mobilemaster8 Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:40 pm

10-9 Beltran. Everytime he lands he hurts him! Even the body shots. Does he hit that hard or is burns still feeling the las fight???

by mobilemaster8 Sat 07 Sep 2013, 10:44 pm

Wow, burns is getting demolished. 10-9 Beltran. He looks VERY good. Wen he had him hurt, really took his time and picked his shots.
