Review: 2014-06-27, great start but the rest of the fight was not so exciting: Ricky Burns vs Dejan Zlaticanin gets two stars. Ricky Burns entered this fight with a pro boxing record of 36-3-1 (11 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.5 lightweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Miguel Vazquez), he has won world titles in two different weight classes but in his last two bouts he drew against Raymundo Beltran (=Burns vs Beltran) and he lost to Terence Crawford losing his Wbo Lw title (=Burns vs Crawford).
His opponent, the undefeated Dejan Zlaticanin, has a perfect record of 18-0-0 (13 knockouts) and he entered as the No.20 in the same weight class, he fought twice in 2013 defeating Petr Petrov and Asan Yuseinov. Burns vs Zlaticanin is valid for the vacant WBC International lightweight title. Watch the video and rate this fight!
