A lot of people on here see this as a keep busy fight for Ricky......Bollocks! This is at least a 50-50 fight. Imo Kev will do a number on Burns.
Burns should go off and get himself a marquee fight againts Marquez Rios or another big name in the US whilst he still can and then after come back and fight burns in a true england v scotland Battle of the Brits rather then risk losing to Mitchell like Murray did and then miss out on future big dates.
Its too risky for Burns everyone thought Murray would walk through him and got beat up i know that Murray has got a shot at Rios but come on hes just being fed to the lions he will get done over inside four rounds plus he could of been more picky in who he fought for a world title if he hadnt been smashed up by Mitchell.
Give it to Murray though hes a brave boy going straight back in with Rios after being hurt badly in his last fight no one can question his heart.
Mitchell has no chance of getting the fight, because he would pose a risk to Fwank & Burns future money milking plans. People mention Marquez & Rios.........jesus they don't want any part of that. They will milk it as much as possible against anyone who poses little threat.
bit harsh to knock a mitchell fight after you defended the super feather defenses. if ricky is to take an "easy" fight first, mitchell is ideal.
I said he posed a RISK, I.E him actually beating Burns. The amounty of money to be made off it is not worth it, getting a slot on HBO with Rios is long term goal. For now milk the belt & Burns in **** fights.
You said he posed a risk to Frank's money milking plans. I don't see how that is so. With the title in Mitchell's hands it could potentially be milked for more.
burns walks through the highly overrated mitchel,(i thought murrey would trounce him,just proves how i was bias towards the overrated northerner,even if he was a manc:hey) i even think he is too big for mitchel,he is quite a small lightweight and burns is a big lightweight,he has a build like khan has,he could prob move up to lightwelter with ease as well. i recon the only way mitchel makes lightweight because of the size of his fooking head:nutcase op
Cook was fairly good, though...as was/is Wright. It just feels like Arthur's being held to maybe a higher standard than a lot of other Brits of like achievement.
I'd like to see Ricky go after a Marquee name too, if not that then I can accept a Mitchell fight, which could create a good buzz and be competitive. Alex Arthur is someone I just cant see making a successful return, he is done.
