Billy, who's Ricky sparring? Could it be possible to get Gonzalez over? He seems a lot similar to Terrence. I remember reading an article that you were looking for sparring partners from abroad. Is there any truth in that? Would be brilliant and hopefully we'll see Burns back to his best. I hope he can, I would love to see Ricky fight in a unification fight. All the best, Billy. Hope you prove the doubters wrong.
Yeah a good idea but Ricky won't be involved, if he looses to Crawford he still has other fights at world level. The tournament with Bruns would be less interesting because you would have a very strong favorite it would be better if it was 6 even fighters. IMO Mitchell would win such a tournament without Burns
Flannigan woukd win that tournament.. Be a good fight with him and Mitchell but Mitchell is at his peak I think Flannigan is still improving and takes this.. As for Burns sparring don't see the similarities between Gonzales and Crawford?? My missing something? Crawford is very much like Kevin Mitchell.. They fight very similar surely that would be more ideal sparring ??
Billy if it was a lw super 8 and Richard commey was in it how do you think he'd do slong with the lad who beat Derry and the names above
If you added Richard it wouldn't be a domestic super 6 or 8 would it lol All kidding aside Richard is a very good fighter thinks a lot which impresses me and can punch hard but he lacks experience and although Kevin's lost his wo:bbbRod title fight he's got a lot of experience and he would rightly be favourite to win out the 8 But I'd have my money on Terry I've seen him improve every time he's came to my gym and if kept busy will win titles
Yes I'd put John in and take Coyle or gethin out, the only reason I'd take tommy out is coz he's not really proved himself at LW he's only really fought one genuine top domestic LW in Derry and got stopped, be to soon for tommy to fight Kevin I'd have thought
Terry's filling out now too Billy saw him a couple of weeks ago at Steves gym he'll defo be an hand full for any at domestic level ,I asked about Richard Commey because I wasnt sure if he was based here or just comes over for fights I've seen you mention him before and Steve Goodwin promotes him I think
how do you think campbell would do in that mix if towards the end of 2014 billy? has he ever sparred ricky? what do you think to him?
I think he's very good but the acid test is when he goes into championship rounds,no the haven't sparred
Lets be honest, if Gonzalez fought Burns again he would beat him. I thought he looked a class act until he quit. Got to hope he will learn from that.
