Do you know if that Machamp had the Guts ability? If that's the case, Guts ignores attack reduction from burns and increases the attack instead. Well, that's how it should work, I don't know for sure if Guts is working as intended in PRO.
From Serebii:
"Attack is increased by 50% when induced with a status (BURN, PARALYZE, SLEEP, POISON, FREEZE). Burn’s effect of lowering Attack is not applied."
