He should just postpone any fight IMO, whoever it is will be a joke and certainly not worthy of a world title fight.

He trained for it, so imo let him fight and earn some money.

Are the BBC having a laugh

don't they know what the W in WBO stands for

Might as well keep him on the bill. Any opponent at this stage will be shit, I don't have a problem with that as long as his title isn't on the line.

Eh no...it's written like that so that we know its a world title and not an international title etc.

Marlow · 12-10-2012, 08:41 AM

Was really looking forward to seeing Ocampo fight.

Gutted.

PityTheFool · 12-10-2012, 09:00 AM

I'm relieved.He should have a fight but let's get this "title on the line" nonsense dropped once and for all.

I said all along that they should have gone for kim.

HeavyT · 12-10-2012, 09:04 AM

ANYONE from the WBO top 15 would be a bonus IMO

Wooooosh

O'Campos trainer recently died didn't he?

Smoggy7188 · 12-10-2012, 09:26 AM

We shouldnt fear, the wbo matchmaker of the year is on the case.

Looks like Derry Matthews wants the fight.

craney91 · 12-10-2012, 09:33 AM

We all know why....because everybody is ducking Ricky Burns. Its clear as day.

We all know Ricky Burns smashes everybody and will continue to do so, the best fighters at the weight cant touch Ricky Burns, Broner? EASY WORK! Vazquez? EASY WORK!

Its just as simple as that. He is the best thing going, and he will beat anyone anywhere anytime. BUT, if they dont want to come to the smalltime in Scotland, and want the fight in the US because thats where the money is. I know! We will use this as fuel for our own fire....even though we said, Ricky will fight anywhere and beat anyone happily, we will still say they are scared to come to Scotland. Because it makes us look even better.

Because we love you Ricky and we will support you forever and ever, no matter what the truth is, your the best there is, best there was, and best there ever will be.

Yeah, thinking about it, this would be best all round.
I think my main problem is with undeserving folk fighting for a world title.
Well, that & every fucking fight needing to be for a belt of some kind.
