    Fight is over 3 hours and 200miles from either mans home town. Nobodys talking about it. Its not even the 2nd most anticipated fight on the bill. Its recieved no press coverage.

    Can you remember an all British World title fight this low profile?

    I have no been critical at all of either fighter or the level of the fight. Personally I am looking forward to it and give Cookie a shot.

    Not in my not very far-reaching memory. With good reason though, it's a poor fight in the worst division in the sport.

    Nicky Cook has a chance but a very small one. this could have been a harder fight had Nicky Cook had another 2 or 3 fights before it happened to get the sharpness back to his game, but as it is I see a comfortable Ricky Burns win. If Nicky is in proper shape and had the correct sparring to sharpen up he could make things interesting.

    Burns is a very weak 'world' champion. This is a very weak defence.
