    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:

    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
