    Burns was getting swarmed from Taylor, Wee Barry, Arthur the lot of them. Ricky conducted himself so well. This could be Rickys defining fight. Ricky is a gent and a true example of how anyone should play the game. Billy i hope you can help Rickster out. The west is behind him.

    Ricky stands no chance now. In his prime it might be close but now it would end very badly.

    Final pay day for Burns, question is, will he now risk the Crolla fight ? If he lost that then I think the Taylor fight is off the board. Makes more sense for burns v Taylor then the winner fights Crolla in a final eliminator for world title fight

    Nah I don't want to see that.

    100% Burns gets stopped, I don't want Ricky to take the fight. He's very close to retiring and what's the point in going out on a loss like that.

    Let him fight Crolla for $$$ and enjoy his retirement the guy has earned it.

    Taylor vs Crawford is what I want in 2018

    Burns has been on a horrible downward spiral since going down to train under that chump Tony Sims.

    Taylor would slap him silly.

    Burns can 100% win this fight. He has been in with far better fighters.

    He might need to get back to basics

    Taylor would win pretty easily imo, probably by stoppage.

    I agree with this. Burns needs to steer clear of this kid. He's in the twilight of his career he has nothing more to prove. Getting in with a young, hungry fighter like Taylor will only end one way and I don't want to see that.

    Ricky should stay well away from josh, surely his team must work out he's not good against southpaws, I've heard a rumour it's tommy Coyle next for ricky

    Coyle? Interesting. Would be amazed if he has another title tilt left in him.

    Surely its cash out stage for Ricky and should come down to which fight is the biggest payday, Crolla or Taylor

    Taylor is on another level to burns, that would be a total mismatch.
