burch showed alot of heart i was there. only if he was in better shape that fight was his fight to win..keep fighting burch like to see u in the future
For anyone who wants to talk bad about a fighter win or loose should take a min. and realize what all goes into training for a fight and that it is alot harder than it looks. Even the loosers work hard and have bad days in the ring. This is not only a physically driaing sport but also an emotional one. Without there being supporters for the fighters there wouldn't be a sport for the haters to watch.

The kid did ok lets not make him out to be a hero. Bottom line is you come to fight you probably should be in in shape. He still lost
