    Billy

    What non-British fighters would you love to train...i'm not talking about the famous guys like Mayweather or Pac but maybe someone even unknown that caught your eye and you thought 'I know exactly what to do with him to make him a champion'?

    Also would you ever consider moving to London or even America to train Boxers there maybe after Ricky Burns retires?

    I called this,had a feeling Beltran was gonna bring the pain to Ricky Burns,didn't predict the robbery but it was to be expected.

    Billy Nelson what do you have to say for yourself now?

    I don't think billy will be on here for a long time.

    ''Ricky was winning the early rounds, then he got his jaw dislocated in the 2nd or 3rd''

    Just say it how it is. Ricky lost that fight and if You guys don't give beltran the rematch you should be ashamed of yourselves.

    It will be interesting to hear what he says about the fight, more than likely blame the performance on the dislocated jaw which is fair enough ....... after the injury, but he was swinging a bit wild from the off and leaving himself open for counters, the worrying thing for me was ricky been so open to the left hook time after time which was the legitimate shot which caused the damage.

    Billy was on here bragging about Ricky's sparring,the guy spars with little kids and amateur prospects for world title fights.Hes not coming into these fights prepared and that's all down to his trainer,I can only imagine the kind of preparation Beltran had for this fight sparring with the likes of Manny in the Wild card.I had a feeling he would walk right through Burns and a lot if people on here laughed at me.Burns would have been better off dropping the title to save some face and humility because he is not a world champion,not is he even a top 5 lightweight.If Eddie Hearn had any decency he wouldn't have allowed that to happen and tried to get Ray the fair shake,he had a lot to do with that decision tonight and might have also shot himself in the foot,what fighter is gonna want to come to the uk and fight on one if his cards after that.

    Yeah I read an interview in the week building upto the fight and he said something along the lines of .......they're gonna have to start bringing in sparring partners in from abroad because he's beating up all his British sparring partners......and I thought WOW! I can't believe they don't do that already!

    Billy Nelson knows better than anyone Burns lost that fight. What he was saying between rounds tells us that.

    If in the cold light of day he doesn't admit they were very fortunate he will be making a fool of himself.
