GLASGOW, Scotland -- Ricky Burns survived some rocky moments to unanimously out-point Kiryl Relikh in a first defence of his WBA world super-lightweight title to set up a big money fight with Adrien Broner.The Scottish boxer was put under immense pressure early on and late in the fight by his mandatory challenger but did enough to earn scores of 118-110, 116-112 and 116-112 at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow.A lucrative fight against four-weight world champion Broner, who was stripped of the same WBA belt for failing to make weight before facing Londoner Ashley Theophane in April, now looks likely.The American had promised to be ringside in Glasgow, but failed to show. Promoter Eddie Hearn, however, is confident Burns and Broner will eventually meet.I think its time to go on the road and Adrien Broner is 100 percent the fight Ricky want and were going to push for it in December, said Hearn.Burns (41-5-1, 14 KOs), 33, and controversial Broner (32-2, 24 KOs), 27, could not be more different in personality. Burns is unfailingly polite who dislikes the limelight and has not once trash talked about an opponent.Im more than happy to go to America, said Burns, who became Scotlands first three-weight world champion when he knocked out Italys Michele Di Rocco in the eighth round to win the vacant belt five months ago.The fight [against Broner] was supposed to happen at super-featherweight, lightweight, and when hes on his game hes a very good fighter but these are the fights Im in the game for. Burns used his boxing skills to stay out of trouble against Relikh, who wanted to turn the fight into a brawl.He hurt me in the second round and he could whack, but I stuck to the game plan and didnt get dragged into a fight for once and I got the win, said Burns.Relikh said: He was running away and that the problem, it was hide and seek.Relikh (21-1, 19 KOs), 26, made a bright start that seemed to bewilder Burns, who was on the backfoot for most of the first two rounds. The Belarusian, who prepares for fights in Manchester with trainer and former world champion Ricky Hatton, kept a furious pace in the second round and connected with a flurry of hooks towards the end of the round.Burns grew in confidence during the third round and managed to extinguish the challengers early fire and hurt Relikh with a right to the body. An overhand right at the end of the fourth seemed to secure the fourth round for Burns, who planted his feet to land a crunching left hook in the fifth round.Burns enjoyed his best round in the eighth, combining accuracy and a good defence that left Relikh looking frustrated. But the fight swung back to the challenger late on and Burns was hurt in the tenth by body shots.Relikh started strongly and finished strongly. Burns was relieved to hear the bell after a toe-to-toe exchange in the 11th and in the last round Relikh again piled on the pressure. Burns tried to contain Relikh with his jab in the final round and referee Howard Foster ruled there was no knockdown when the Scot touched down.
