    Burns on points for me, he may even force a stoppage, Burns is more mentally tough also.

    Foster jnr doesnt deserve a shot at Burns after the arrogance of the viking "We wont fight Burns in Glasgow, has to be Manchester"

    err, are they forgetting whose the champion here? AND the hell he had to go through to win that title?

    Foster jnr seems a decent bloke, but that father of his, what can I say except this...:-(

    Go clean the Scottish ear wax mate and come back and re visit what he said. ;)


    He said we won't fight Burns in Glasgow for 10k, we want to be paid correct money, where the **** did he say it has to be in Manchester?

    That is a good match up.

    We have good fighters but there comes a stage where the only domestic match ups should be the biggest. Otherwise they should fight internationals.

    Stephen struggled with Derry Matthews long arms and boxing ability (although weight issues may been a problem). Obviously fighters evolve and get better and Stephen had Arthur going but i watched him the other night and he was a little slow footed and i think if Ricky has bad intentions with his punches he stops Stephen around round 7/8.

    Stephen's not got a lot of head movement and i think he's feet let him down against a boxer like Burns. Against likes of Kirakosyan he finds that easier but Burns threw some hammer against Martinez and i think a lesser fighter would of went down.

    Listen to the arrogance, like Foster Jnr deserves first crack cos he beat a faded old fighter after a struggle.

    Get in the queue like everyone else.

    I think Burns on points at this moment in time, I dont think it should happen just yet, few defences for Foster Jr first, But saying that it will be very tough for Burns to keep hold of the title.
