WBO Junior Featherweight Championship
Ricky Burns believes he can cause an upset tonight in Glasgow when he fights odds-on favourite and WBO super-featherweight champion Roman Martinez at the Kelvin Hall. Burns is the underdog going into tonight's fight, available to back at 3/1 with Ladbrokes (use bonus code F25 to claim a £25 free bet), but insists he will not need any favours from the judges in his home town to be victorious tonight.
"I fancy my chances in stopping him because I'm punching harder now than I ever have done before," Burns said ahead of tonight's fight. "You want to see some of my sparring partners after I have been 12 rounds with them.
"But if I beat Martinez on points it will be because I deserve the victory, not because the judges are biased.
"Martinez is a dangerous puncher but I am the better boxer and everyone will see that. I'll run rings around him and get the result that I deserve.
"I think he's just trying to get his excuses in early because he knows that there is no way he is taking that belt back to Puerto Rico. He found a lucky punch to beat Nicky Cook when he was being out-boxed, but he won't get lucky against me."
