    If Burns was still fighting at British or European level I'd be really excited about this fight, but Ricky is bidding to become a two weight world champion and has openly targeted JMM. Now I don't think for a second that he'll get a match with Juan, but fighting B level guys is not going to get him noticed anywhere except in the UK. He should be fighting better quality opposition.

    And yes, he wins this fight by UD.

    But he already bet Michael Katsidis.... Someone who was an A level game opponent. Crolla is a step down.

    Massisve step down this is nothing but a easy pay day for Billy Nelson and the muppet show, easy money... Mitchell Vs Burns would of been a good fight...
    Why does Mitchell get treated like a **** by ****ing Fish eyes...

    I've never been able to figure out, if Frank's plan was to feed Murray to Mitchell, or Mitchell to Murray?

    I seriously think Frawk thought Murray would do Mitchell, I dont think fish eyes likes mitchell i know he let fish eyes down with his preparation against Katsisdis but i think Mitchell was close to getting dropped..
    I think personally if a 100% Mitchell steps in the ring he is a world level operator and Billy Nelson knows this.. Fish Eyes is started to get a repitation for hooking up shitty world title defences..

    He's had that rep for years, he did it with both Hatton and Calzaghe.

    I'm hoping Hearn takes over as the UK's top promoter.
