    Couldn't agree more, no way I could score it any closer than +3 to Ricky.

    Both at their peak - Burns wins.

    I simply do not see the man anymore who fought Martinez right up to the Mitchell fight and that last fight was the most gutless title defence seen.

    Crolla nothing special either these days so it is survival of the least spent

    Looking through the undercard, I have to ask this question, is Conor Benn hiding a glass jaw?

    I looked at his opponent tonight and he is fighting a man with only 1 TKO win out of 5 wins.

    Before that.. at the times they actually fought Benn

    Boyanov had 0 wins my TKO/KO (Benn Debut so fair enough)
    Keleher had 1 win by KO
    Radio had 3 wins by TKO/KO but had been stopped numerous times.
    Ducker had 0 wins by TKO/KO
    Jameson had 0 wins by TKO/KO
    Backhouse had 1 win by TKO/KO
    Cole had 1 win by TKO/KO
    Baker had 0 wins by TKO/KO


    So thoughts?

    I think he lacks self confidence, I personally think a decent aggressive fighter is going to get to him, he's young so has time to improve but worryingly he looks like a KO waiting to happen from what I've seen so far.

    I think it's a little bit annoying (and petty) they are sticking Crolla Vs Burns at basically the same time as Eubank Jr.

    well if they had put CEJ fight on free to air ITV 1 it would have blown the SKY card out the game but greed has ruined it for all parties involved imo....there is zero chance the CEJ fight is PPV,i would be amazed if even 1% of genuine boxing hardcore fans have watched a full Yildrim fight so how the flock can it be PPV??

    Probably wrong thread to rant that on btw
