Watched the fight last night. Granted hes not a top top boxer, but he really is a credit to the sport and scotland. 3 weight world champ, as honest as they come, and an all round decent bloke.

Indongo knocked Troyanovski out cold in 40 seconds and Burns took lots of huge left hands and deserves huge credit for staying on his feet, He's achieved a lot and been very lucky too but I think he should call it a day

He got totally shafted by warren though so I think his financial situation aint great

It is hard to see where he goes now however, clearly just short of top top class and hes just not got any power at the higher weight.

One last clash against corrola maybe then call it a day.He deserves his retirement and one last pay day.

I reckon he moved his assets before declaring bankruptcy.

I would actually give Indongo a good chance against Crawford. Crawford is very good and Indongo is quite wild but he would have a major size advantage and has serious power.

Yep..all the talent now at welter.

It just irks me that clowns like bellow and haye make millions with their antics, and a guy like ricky doesnt.

Never seen him live, but will try to if he fights again. A boxer id happily give my cash to, which is a rarity!

The smaller weight classes don't make the money unfortunately. Rigondeaux is incredibly skilled but has been very poorly managed and promoted and no one has ever heard of him. There are many more current and previsions examples of this sort of thing.

Aye in general. But welter has plenty of cash and not so long ago light welter had cotto, hatton, even floyd.

Rigo has been disastrously managed but hes not exactly good to watch and to good for his own good!

Lomo looks special..cant wait to see him in some bigger fights
