    Interesting. Billy is very quiet as well ;) Though one of the last times he was asked about his preferences for Ricky, Abril was top of the list.

    Nowhere near the power of Gonzales, or quite as much of a reach (although still just more than Ricky) so I think Ricky would be able to get in about him and cause some problems. He is a very tidy boxer though and it's a dangerous fight. I personally don't think it'd be as boring as some seem to think it would.

    Out of interest, here's the amazing unofficials from the Abril-Rios fight:
    • John Chavez, Boxing Truth: 114-114 Draw

    • Eric Raskin, Ring Magazine: 115-113 Abril
    • Kevin Iole, Yahoo! Sports: 116-112 Abril
    • Nigel Collins, ESPN: 116-112 Abril
    • Terry Dooley, ***********.com: 117-111 Abril
    • Gabriel Montoya, MaxBoxing.com: 116-112 Abril
    • World Boxing News.net: 117-112 Abril
    • Dan Rafael, ESPN: 118-110 Abril
    • Doug Fischer, Ring Magazine: 118-110 Abril

    • William Trillo, P4P.com: 117-111 Abril
    • Steve Lillis, BoxNation: 118-111 Abril
    • Jake Emen, ProBoxing-Fans.com: 117-111 Abril

    The thread title is a clue.

    I'm assuming he's still training albeit maybe not quite the 'camp' intensity as yet. Both Billy and Ricky will now know who they are facing though.

    Just curious as to how Ricky is feeling and what plans Billy has in place for the forthcoming camp.

    Without a doubt. I think after Gonzales there will be more doubters now however that will only bring out the best in Ricky IMO.

    It's a Scottish thing ....... We don't deal well with under dogs :nut
