    Ricky's certainly up against it... but I hope against all hopes he pulls it off! A hard working servant to the sport, professional attitude and he's a top fella and he deserves his chance. He has a great trainer in Billy and has improved a lot in recent times. 110% behind him all the way, and wish for him all the very best.

    Come on Ricky!

    all the best to ricky and its a shame alex didnt offer more to get home ground(frank too for that matter),
    as ive said before,ricky can hit very hard but for some reason he doesnt do it in fights-he is more of a boxer though.
    a nice young guy but its a hard test and i hope he gives it his all.

    A 110 at least bud:D One of the first guys I met in the boxing, took to him right away, he's a great character, was just a shame that Rab and Rick dont really speak now.

    Hear what your saying big man. Course its not Rickys fault, but I can see how Rab is dissapointed. I know Rab well, he is a good guy, a great ambassador for boxing and I wouldnt say a bad word about him. Hopefully one day they will be on good speaking terms again. :good
