    Its a great fight because the winner is more or less guaranteed a fight with Broner at a higher wage than they wouldve got previously.

    W-arren deserves respect, albeit begrudgingly from most

    Great news. :happy

    Fair play to Frank for getting him over. He gets a lot of stick on here but he's really outdone himself with this.

    If Burns wins this fight, does he then have the right to make Broner come to Glasgow to fight?

    He'll be the number one in the division and if Broner wants it he should really have to travel for it, then we'll see how confident they are that he wins?

    This is a great match up anyhow, I'll be getting tickets for this and (fingers crosses) the Froch/Kessler fight as well. British boxing 2013 just got interesting!!

    It would probably make more money for burns in America on HBO. Unless ***** could make another couple of big fights to get HBO to come to Scotland.

    I would really doubt Broner and his team would do it tho.

    Great fight if it happens, will be more of a fencing match than an all-action brawl but it will be fascinating to watch.

    I assume this is gonna be a WBO/IBF unification?

    Yep, then whoever wins, won't be able to defend them against Broner thanks to the genius of Sulaiman.

    Nearly makes up for ducking Broner.

    Gonna have to rewatch a couple of Vasquez fights now. Has he fought anyone that resembles Burns stylistically? :think And vice versa...
