    good to see burns looking trim and fighting at his true weight I know he is past his best but love watching him fight and maybe just maybe he can get his old title back, Saturday I feel will be a easy victory he is huge compared to the aussie and far to superior. would love to see Flanagan vs burns for the title next year another fight I think burns wins handily

    Flanagan beats him he us getting better Burns is not. Ricky can't fight southpaws remember ! Be a good fight as Ricky is tough and fit, and very experience. Waren is dying for the fight as he knows Ricky can't fight southpaws to, well that and fact his company not pay fighters their purses !!

    Flannigan would handle him with ease - he won't stop him but he would have his way no problem. But yeah good luck Burns

    Flanagan is improving but still don't think he has fought anybody of burns level, look at burns resume to flanagans, plus its a known fact burns wiped the floor with terry everytime they sparred, he is still to much for Flanagan imo

    Agree Ricky has fought at a higher level but when you have been a long standing world champion thats on way down you will always have achieved more than the new world champion at that point, if they fight Terry would win now, Ricky is meant to be great in sparring but over last 2-3 years hasn't looked like it on fight night. He is Scottish so hope he wins on Saturday and I think he will.

    beat Mitchell and Martinez handily, Gonzales lost his bottle and he lost to beltran and Crawford, even so beltran was close we know the story and Crawford is one of the best in the world you have to admit Flanagan has beat nobody and will continue to

    Beltran broke his face and you reckon it was close? :lol:

    Gonzales run out of steam, before he was boxing his head off.

    And then he got mauled by Zlaticanin.
