    It wasn't the year between Kats and Murray this was before that, this relationship went downhill after that Katsidis fight.

    We will fight Kevin Mitchell no problem at all,but in all honesty Ricky wants to fight the best out there go to America or them to come to us,please please accept that Burns is a world class fighter and an improving one,if you had seen him spar today you'd be raving about him beleive me!

    Billy most of us rate Burns, it's just that he's being matched shitely apart from the Martinez and Katsidis fights.

    We all rate Burns. Just don't like one sided fights Burns is normally involved in.

    The reason why the odds were that is because one fighter was coming in undefeated and held euro belt. The other came off an early ko loss.

    Mitchell was bad on drink due to family issues prior the katsidis fight hence poor performance. Why would Frank drop someone after one loss when he has good ties with him?

    Frank unhappy yes but not cashing in imo.

    Luis is my boy, had him in my team for a league made on this forum about 2 years back. Good to see him more active and winning.

    Anyone see how he did against Beltran? heard it was good fight to watch.

    Ain't seen it yet, but been following his career, he's managed by Frank Espinoza, might tweet him about the fight

    Worth a shout, early doors i thought he could be a southpaw version of JMM. Bit slower but some lovely work but inactivity hasn't helped him.

    I know he's gone off to work on sitting on punches so that's good.

    @LP_1985- he will be out longer than that due to a cut. But would like Ramos to get more experience before a title shot

    Good call from him, I don't think he's ready for Burns or anyone at LW (top 10) He needs activity and he needs gradual steps up in opposition which he's slowly getting.
