From the Scene "According to reports in Puerto Rico, undefeated Roman 'Rocky' Martinez (23-0, 14KO's) will once again travel to England. This time he will defend his WBO Super Featherweight Title against Ricky Burns (27-2, 7KO's) Martinez travelled to England last year to knock out Nicky Cook to win the title. Burns, the Commonwealth (British Empire) super featherweight champion, has built a twelve fight win streak since losing a unanimous decision to Carl Johanneson in 2007." April 24th is really starting to stack up. Froch-Kessler, Ward-Green, Angulo-Julio and Arreola-Adamek and now this hopefully
Gutted I can't make this fight...:-( Good luck Ricky, stick to your boxing and fight plan and you will be victorious...:good
I don't trust the Puerto Rican press, they can chat a lot of ****. But the 24th has also being mentioned by Burns' manager so it probably will be then
Ayes i was told early May, though i kinda wanted it up here as a headliner, not on the Kats undercard but it makes sense. Hope it is this new date Whats with them saying it will be in England though ? Slack journo ?
If he is headlining then it wont be in England. If its on the undercard of a bill with the likes of Kats/Mitchell...then fair enough. What card/bill is on the 24th of April ? Strangely, this was talked of last week then dismissed ( forgot reasons ) Strangely again, i got calls yesterday asking if am at the fight or where am watching it, yesterdays papers here had Burns Vs Sykes listed for last night, so i was told.
get the fight in glasgow the kelvin hall no offense i will be cheering on kevin mitchell but different ball game cheering on our own ricky burns
i hope it is on in glasgow ,but if its on the mitchell/katsidas card i wouldent mind a trip .granted london isisn my fav place but i wouldent mind seeing the o2 ,better off if it was in manchester.the real capital of boxing in england .
