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.

"Im in a really good position for tomorrow," Scott said.TORONTO - Colin Miller said yes to Samuel Piette and Keven Aleman and no to Dwayne De Rosario and Patrice Bernier. Canadas mens soccer coach for the upcoming Gold Cup tournament selected his camp roster with an eye on the future, meaning a couple of national team mainstays wont make the trip. "I think now is a fantastic opportunity to build on the experience these young players have had," Miller said on a conference call Tuesday to his announce his roster. "Weve got to continue to give these guys a chance and the opportunity to play at this level of football. The more we can do that, the better our national team program is going to be." Aleman, whos 19, and Piette, 18, are two of eight players on the roster for the camp in Oxnard, Calif., who have yet to play in a senior tournament. The others are Kyle Bekker, Doneil Henry, Jonathan Osorio, Pedro Pacheco, Russell Teibert, and Simon Thomas. The next major tasks for Canadas senior mens side will be qualifying for the 2016 Olympics and 2018 World Cup, so the time is ideal to develop young players. That meant a couple of veterans became Gold Cup casualties. Miller said he spoke at length to the 35-year-old De Rosario, who was keen to attend the California camp and play in the confederations biennial championship tournament, which opens July 7. "I told him we were looking at a younger group, looking at moving the national program forward, and it was just a case of numbers with Dwayne," Miller said. "I saw that certainly in the future, Dwayne is going to be at a good age when the next World Cup qualifying comes around. He was disappointed as you would imagine, but it was something that I felt in this particular group, it was a perfect opportunity for us to get some talented young players that are desperate for an opportunity, desperate to wear the Canadian jersey. "Obviously he was disappointed but very supportive and wished us well." Miller also said no to the 33-year-old Bernier, who is playing well for the Montreal Impact. Miller called it "an age thing." "Weve got to look more at the future, longterm," Miller said. "And its an opportunity. IIm very happy with the players that we have in midfield, and Ive worked with Patrice before, Im delighted to see him doing so well with Montreal.dddddddddddd But at this moment in time when were thinking three or four years down the road here, is Patrice going to be one of our starting midfield players for the national team in World Cup qualifying? I would doubt that. "Thats really all it is, a case of numbers and his age at this moment in time." Aleman and Piette were both members of the Canadian squad at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Mexico when the last CONCACAF Gold Cup took place in 2011, and watched the Gold Cup matches on TV from the U-17 teams camp ahead of the tournament. Several other veterans including Atiba Hutchinson and Andre Hainault are missing, but its because theyre currently without professional contracts. "Not having Atiba is a big loss to the team," Miller said. "Its not an easy time for the European-based players, especially if youre out of contract right now." "There are guys who have chosen to stay and try to solidify their future in Europe, and there are guys who may see this Gold Cup as an opportunity to put themselves in the shop window. It was really the players decision. I can sympathize with the guys who are out of contract." Julian de Guzman, tournament MVP at the 2007 Gold Cup, is the squads most experienced player with 64 caps, and Miller sees him as a player who can mentor the younger ones. Simeon Jackson is the teams leading scorer with six international goals. Miller named just 22 to the camp roster, and will announce a tournament roster of up to 23 players on Friday. He wouldnt divulge the one missing player saying he has a "couple of irons in the fire." Camp opens Wednesday in Oxnard. Canada is in Group A at the tournament with Martinique, Mexico and Panama. Theyll open on July 7 versus Martinique in Los Angeles. Theyll then travel north to Seattle to battle Mexico on July 11, then close out the group stage with a game against Panama in Denver on July 14. The top two teams from each group will advance to the quarter-finals. The final is July 28 in Chicago. ' ' '
