Ricky Burns was one of those fighters that captured our hearts as he rose to the top of his weight division.
Burns gave some emphatic displays that convinced many that he?d be a star for many years to come.
But the two division world champion has seen his career nose-dive in recent times having lost two out of his last three fights, leaving his record looking 37-4-1 with 11 by knockout.
In a little over two weeks, Burns will put, I believe, his career on the line when he fights at the State Farm Arena, Hidalgo, Texas against the former WBC lightweight champion Omar Figueroa Junior, a fighter who has a record that reads 24-0-1 with 18 by way of knockout.
As the fight draws nearer we?ll endeavour to keep an eye on the build-up as Burns attempts to add a huge scalp to his belt.
Can Burns surprise everyone or is the end of the road nigh?
