    I really like Ricky but if the bookies give me good odds (as in they actually think Burns has a chance of winning) then i will make a very good profit on betting on Burns losing.

    Hearn was tweeting on it last night , more or less said figueroa on the chavez undercard april18th but wouldnt say if it was at lightweight or catchweight , said it was a 12 rounder so must be of some stature

    that's one thing I'm not mate, the guys a mile out regarding the Beltran fight, Burns was hitting him at will as he walked in, he would have won just as easily has Crawford did I have no doubt about that

    I thought they would feed Burns to Figueroa. Who knows...

    Another southpaw. Is this really what he needs on the back of Zlaticanin & Crawford?

    Thought that, especially as Billy's also made no secret of the fact Burns struggles with them.

    A southpaw that can punch and will keep coming. Burns will need to be at his best but i cant see anything but burns getting stopped for the first time. I think ricky needs a couple more fights before taking on someone like figueroa, its not that hes a great but he is very tough, punches and is relentless

    Folk say rickys finished so taking this fight is a no brainer he cant loose no pressure at all and how sweet it would be if he had to do it up there wae martinez at the kelvin hall, stranger things have happened as big marvin said keep believing
