Hi Billy I was just wondering if you could answer a couple of questions, this thread is not to try and bait you or take the **** but actually to get answers from you to put to bed some of the things I have read since the Burns fight on Saturday. I know you will still be reading the forum and you have probably answered a couple already but here goes. 1. Do you think that Ricky beat Ray Beltran? 2. Would you advise a rematch if you had the choice? 3. Is Ricky's career really in danger due to the damage to his jaw? 4. People have been debating what round Ricky's jaw was actually broken, what round were you made aware? 5. There were rumors that Ricky was struggling with the weight are these true or is he making the weight fine? 6. I made a thread during the fight that it looked like the Gonzalez fight may have taken something away from Ricky, imo he looked different almost like he was scared of being hit. Did you notice anything in the build up to the fight? 7. Do you have any input when it comes to who Ricky faces? or do you just get a name then make a plan for that fighter? 8. Do you think that you as a trainer got everything correct in the build up to this fight or are there things you will look to address for any future fights? 9. Before this fight you dismissed a fight with Crolla but a bit has changed since then, would you be more interested in this fight for Ricky as a comeback opponent from his jaw injury? I don't think I have been unfair with the questions I am asking or trying to take the ****, I would just like an insight from a person who actually is involved in the whole camp. I would like to keep this thread about facts and hearing proper answers to these question and also I'd like others to put forward their serious questions without it turning into a joke thread or a slagging match. I look forward to hearing replies Billy and also seeing if there are any other questions from others using the forum.
I don't know what you chaps on a boxing forum want (or expect) to hear from the trainer of a fighter who has been in that type of fight. He can't come on here and agree with people who think Burns is weak. Unless he wants to find himself an ex-trainer.
I don't want anything except from the truth, he comes on here quite full of it and making statements like Ricky is the No 1 Lightweight in the world. What Billy has done so far with Ricky has been immense and just because you admit you might have done something wrong doesn't always mean you will be sacked as coach. I'm not baiting or trying to be cheeky, I'm sure most on here would like to hear his side?
I'm sure Billy Nelson will come on and answer everybody's questions after he has had the chance to actually look back at the tapes and see what went wrong for himself. It would be silly for him to not take time to assess everything before coming on here without having all the answers.
It started off as a couple but when i got started i kept thinking about more! I'm surprised no one has any questions they would like him to answer? You never know he might just answer them
Questions yes, but do you honestly expect a trainer to come here and deviate much from the following answers.... 1. Do you think that Ricky beat Ray Beltran? It was a close fight which could have gone either way 2. Would you advise a rematch if you had the choice? I think Ricky would beat him convincingly next time 3. Is Ricky's career really in danger due to the damage to his jaw? Hopefully not 4. People have been debating what round Ricky's jaw was actually broken, what round were you made aware? Ricky said around the 2nd 5. There were rumors that Ricky was struggling with the weight are these true or is he making the weight fine? The weight was fine, it was the broken jaw which was the problem 6. I made a thread during the fight that it looked like the Gonzalez fight may have taken something away from Ricky, imo he looked different almost like he was scared of being hit. Did you notice anything in the build up to the fight? No, he looked defensive trying to protect his jaw 7. Do you have any input when it comes to who Ricky faces? or do you just get a name then make a plan for that fighter? His management decide 8. Do you think that you as a trainer got everything correct in the build up to this fight or are there things you will look to address for any future fights? Nothing can ever be 100% right 9. Before this fight you dismissed a fight with Crolla but a bit has changed since then, would you be more interested in this fight for Ricky as a comeback opponent from his jaw injury? No, Rickys fight was disrupted early on, he will be much better next time out Basically Billy isnt going to answer things controversially. I certainly wouldnt expect him too
