    I agree. I get it when a big fight comes along grab it but when its vs a puncher and you have looked poor recently im not so sure it should be grabbed.

    I'd agree, another loss certainly isnt going to help him.

    Payday nothing else! He must know himself he isnt ready for as big a fight as this.

    I guess there are still some good domestic fights that will pay well but his confidence will be shot to bits, I already think it is.

    Burns can win this for sure, Figueroa isn't as good as previous opponents Burns has beat or been competitive with.

    Everything is against Ricky in this fight, it is at 138 or higher when Ricky said himself that he makes lightweight easy with his new nutritionist or strength and conditioner, not sure which one, plus Figueroa is a very good fighter. Definitely winnable and I really hope that he does but I just cant see it I'm afraid

    Its 2015 mate, Burns looks like a shot fighter and fig looks all wrong for him. Maybe Burns makes a epic comeback to form but i just can't see it.

    Burns will be battered and Hearn will get rid quick before the next round of the Warrren case hits the courts.

    Burns is going to have to have a very serious turn of form to win this fight. His last few performances have been dreadful
