The champion (Burns) is coming of a very tough win VS than unbeaten Puerto Rican challenger Jose Gonzalez in a fight which was extremely competitive and hard fought, Ricky Burns won a come from behind 9^th round technical stoppage (Gonzalez failed to come out for the 10^th round) of his unknown but talented opponent in Gonzalez.

Ricky burns the current WBO Lightweight Champion of the world has had a steady career his 2 losses coming early in his career VS domestic foes in Alex Arthur & Carl Johanneson both defeats via 12 round unanimous decisions, Since his early career defeats Ricky Burns has been on a steady climb to the top winning the Commonwealth Super Featherweight title before defeating the dangerous Roman Martinez for the WBO Super Featherweight title back in 2010 defending it 3 times than moving up in weight & winning the belt he currently holds the WBO Lightweight title.

Opponent Raymundo Beltran is a rugged Mexican fighter who has plenty heart & passion inside the squared circle formerly a Manny Pacquiao sparring partner, Beltran has been in some very decent fights mixing with good competition 3 of his 6 losses have come against top level opposition in Ammeth Diaz via 4^th round stoppage in 2008, 10 round UD decision to world title challenger Sharif Bogere in 2011, And another points loss to Luis Ramos Jr in 2012, Bogere & Ramos Jr were both unbeaten at the time but have both gone onto lose. Since his last defeat Beltran has gone 3-0 with the most impressive victory being a majority decision win VS American Henry “Hank” Lundy.

In what promises to be a action packed fight between two highly contested guys Ricky Burns VS Raymundo Beltran has caught the publics imagination as both have big hearts & good skills, Both men have had defeats & both men have gone onto to seemingly do better things in their respective careers, In what promises to be a hostile reception for Beltran fighting burns in Scotland it seems him (Beltran) & his representatives see this as a calculated risk. This fight will exceed expectations in my opinion as these guys seem to be a recipe for entertainment inside the ring both very tough & honest fighters, One thing we have come to realize is Ricky Burns has showed himself to be a very proud man, A fighter who has been improving every fight, Someone who is humble & grounded Mr Burns has stole the hearts of your everyday Scottish Man & Woman, Aswell as his growing contingency of fans around the rest of the UK & across borders and on the other side of the pond in the USA.
