Hmm..Burnett was getting tore up by Haskins of all people, why the confidence?
Zhaki has decent pressure but he moves in straight lines and Burnett has far superior footwork.
He also has more dig in his punches that people think. The sparring stories between the 2 when Burnett was only 19 certainly sound like even back then Burnett was bettering him. I don't put a whole lot of weight into sparring tales but from what I've read from Burnett and a few others I truly believe he outclasses him here. Providing he is wary about the inside game and is carful about head clashes I think he wins a clear decision or even a late stoppage and looks progressively better every time.
Sure many will disagree but that will be my bet.
