    It is intriguing, but I honestly won't watch it live. I'm sure I will catch it on youtube soon, but this weekend is full with a family function.

    I'm a Brit but am intrested in this fight, as it's an even money fight I could legitmatley see going either way. I edge towards Burns but won't be surprised at all if Mitchell won.

    Also looking forward to Frampton-Molitor as Molitor is of much better quality than anyone Frampton has previously faced.

    Who you got mate?
    As I said,I haven't been this worried about Ricky winning since Martinez.Worth bearing in mind that he's still improving though.
    It's the lack of a similar opponent that worries me.The only one I can think of who was as comfortable moving backwards or laterally is Alex Arthur,and he beat Ricky.
    Ricky is a completely different fighter now though.The fact I'm worried is probably a good thing for him.He seems to respond better to being the underdog.

    I'm picking Mitchell by late stoppage but this one could go either way, a genuine 50/50 fight for me.

    I'm hoping his power and accurate counter punching will see him pull it off.

    Convenient, isnt it..

    Are you serious? Are you comparing Marquez and Burns' opposition? Who they've defended their belts against?

    I think a more appropriate comparison is with Nathan Cleverly.

    I'll be watchin the fight and I reckon Mitchell is gonna stop him but in no way should this fight be for a world title. The fact that Burns can call himself a "Champion" is an absolute joke considering who he's fought and who he's defended his belt against.

    Mitchell's got in tremendous shape and has a real spiteful look in his eye, I think he's gonna hurt Burns and stop him in about round 8.

    I do care. Am I able to watch it though? If not i dont ****in care... Ive been wanting to see him but they never play alot of fights in other countries here. Hard to care when you cant watch fights.
