I’m sure we are likely to see Burns vs Cordina at some point, which would be a shame as loved watching Burns in his prime.
Horrible watching Burns post Beltran as he could have retired with plenty of money and a very good legacy. After Warden ruined him financially, it is awful to see him skipping away for 12 rounds as he cannot engage following the Broken Jaw. Very sad to see him tamely lose on points to $2 Crolla types
In the local paper in coatbridge I had a quick read off the back page about a week or two ago and it was his manager having a go (at Eddie I assume) because he's not had a fight and he was promised 2 big fights that haven't happened recently, one was meant to be a headline fight in London. Also seen a couple of his mates giving Eddie stick on twitter
My guess is Burns vs. Selby in the near future. Hearn owes Burns a big fight with the Beltran fight falling through, and Lee Selby needs a good win if he wants to start putting himself in the mix at lightweight.
I think he would've at least been considered as a replacement if Baranchyk did withdraw. Whether or not they had any formal discussions or anything like that who knows.
Burns used to be a decent watch before he had his jaw broken, since then he's been rancid. The other two have always stunk.
There's still at least another big night left in burns to headline the hydro if he can go on a run of a few fights. Probably not world level but he deserves a send off, brilliant boxer in his prime.
Yes, I wouldn't mind seeing that one. Apparently Selby and Flanagan was just about made, then Terry went with mtk so it's not happening. Burns v selby is a good fight imo
