Work your way and capture a world title is clearly a great achievement for any fighter. Keep in your possession when, however, is an even greater task. Each defense is another competitor who wants desperately hungry that you have. Ricky Burns Scotland aims to keep his WBO lightweight super tight around your waist when he gets on the line against Nicky Cook Dagenham, Liverpool July 16.
Ricky is on the crest of a wave in the time after taking the title of Puerto Rico by Roman Martinez and two effective defenses against, well, mediocre opposition. Ricky seems to have matured as a fighter since he won the crown seems to have become a boxer, a total of more complete and reliable. His proof is more difficult to remember, no doubt against Cook, who once held the belt, but failed in his defense of the fist against the same MartÃnez in 2009. Cook is a man who has felt what it means to be a champion and now has the opportunity to regain his title if he is worthy of such a possibility or not.
Funny battle goes back and forth with both men who are successful all over the world. Flashes of brilliant exhausting exchanges at close range makes a lot of show and a big heart Fighters. Suspension of two men, it seems unlikely, but a tour of a busy engaging 12 Ricky Burns will meet the third successful defense of his title, and seems to cause Cook to consider his future and sees him withdrawing the most intelligent option.
