    What do you guys think? 140 has the paydays but 135 is noticeably weaker without Crawford and Figueoa?

    135! Much better for Burns, we know he can do it there and there are bigger paydays there too with the big domestic s****s he could have

    Chubby face and no six pack it looks like he's making weight too comfortably

    should move to 135 if he want to win a title,

    there is probably bigger money fights at 140 though in USA and this may be his target

    Nothing wrong with his gas tank at 140 judging by tonight and he was stronger that Omar but it was essentially two lightweights fighting at 140 in there.

    Yes, it was German style scorecards with Terry O Connor/Cleverley refereeing.

    Back to 135 for me aswell he fought great tonight certainly showed he wasn't finished like we all feared he would be just a shame that he was fighting 2 guys in there tonight.

    I've read quotes saying from Burns "we moved up and still had trouble making the weight"

    So he is never going back to 135 and might even struggle to stay at 140.

    I think it's just about paydays now for burns whatever fight at 135 or 140 offers the most money he will take.

    He sucks he should retire asap before he has another 10 losses.
