    With three English judges and an English referee officiating the Burns v Mitchell fight, and with Kevin Mitchell's sponsor, Rainham Steel, being one of the sponsors of the promotion, is Ricky Burns being set up to lose if the fight goes the distance and is a close run thing?

    It is a disgrace that a world champion like Ricky, fighting on his home turf, could be left questioning the integrity of the officials and the promotion if he should lose in a close decision.

    Wank Farren is no fool. He knows better than to leave the door open to questions being asked. So why has he for this fight?

    Dont worry the only thing Burns will be considering is how many stars he can count when he is on his back ;)

    ffs here we go already...

    do not worry my friend becuase the Burns fans are telling us that Mitchell will be "Outclassed" "Destroyed" "Schooled"

    so there is no need for excuses before the first bell :good

    This thread reminds me of an insecure woman firing 20 questions at you before you go through the front door on a night out ..............................

    Wouldn't worry too much this isn't going to be close. Mitchell will be lucky to win 3 rounds..

    TBH Mitchell was Frank's golden boy till he messed him about, Frank lost time for him but i think underneath it all he'd prefer Mitchell to win on Saturday.

    Just my opinion...

    i reckon the fight will be competitive for the 1st 5-6 rounds and then burns takes over, thats just my humble opinion.

    I dont think he would

    Burns is a dedicated professional, who doesnt mind living in the gym, Mitchell is an East End Gangster wannabe as well as being a Pro boxer who wants to win world titles but only when he feels like it

    I know who id want to win this fight

    Fair point, 3 English judges is a bit touch and go. Let's just hope a robbery doesn't happen..either way.

    Ricky will win about 10 rounds, easy points decision for me.

    From that POV i'd agree, Frank though may see more money in selling Mitchell as a world champion then Burns.

    Nope... but I would prefer foreign officials.

    Not because they might favour one or the other... they're just better.
