I don't know, I can't say because I think they've operated at different levels, I think the Vasquez fight will give us a better idea, but as of the moment, I don't think its a mismatch for Ricky Burns at all. He's improved so much.

Broner stops him, I think he took Rees lightly tonight, he wouldn't do that against Burns.
Ricky is solid but not spectacular at anything, Broner has his flaws but looks like a truly world class fighter in the making, Burns will be his coming out party

Broner gradually wears him down with those superb combinations to take a clear ud or possibly a late stoppage.
Would at least be fairly competitive as Broner can be hit and Burns is big, strong,rather skilled and a heavier hitter than Rees whose lack
of power was his biggest handicap last night.

He's a heavier hitter than Rees but I still don't think he's got enough power to really bother Broner.

Broner doesnt like high output from a well-judged distance, and is open to the body. Add in Burns' long jab and good movement plus solid chin and you've got a bad match for Broner in my eyes, Broner looksgood against pressure fighters, Burns' is not that

Burns fans are the most deluded around at the moment, i've tried to be polite but these poll results are staggering.
I wouldn't make Broner any lower than a 5-1 favorite over Burns, this is verging on a mismatch.

Burns getting past Vazquez is a massive ask to be frank, i'm leaning toward Vazquez in that one, and if it wasn't in the UK i'd probably put money on it

We disagree fairly often, we both think that the other talks some nonsense, but on this occasion I agree with every syllable of what you said. It's a decent fight, great if the champions fight one another, and I think Burn would last longer than Rees, but boxing is about levels and I think he'd make Burns look slow, limited and out of his depth at times. Comfortable Broner win, lates stoppage or points. I'd put it in different leagues terms myself, just Burns seems to have a hard head so would last longer than Rees. I'd like Broner to fight the winner of Burns-Vasquez, then vacate the three belts and move up again.

Broner would dance around a very static Burns? Broner is dancing around no one, he has some of the heaviest feet I've ever seen on a land-dwelling mammal. His movement may be his worst asset, if anyone is winning this fight with movement it's Burns.

Bryn, you know I love you and am happy to repeat it here for all to read, but I am afraid that you have broken one of the unspoken laws of British boxing: you have mentioned the words 'Burns' and 'movement' in the same sentence without inserting some form of negative in between.

And since winning the title Burns hasn't?
