    Were not looking for it to be changed alba,but what i would say is there shouldn't be 3 judges and a ref from the same country has one of the boxers,it wouldnt happen in any other sport now would it?
    Maybe the BBBC should make a ruling on it and everyone would be seen to be playing fair?
    Ricky will ensure the judges arent needed and this result will be without doubt a burns victory

    Shall I be the one to point out that Scotland isn't technically a country.

    But I take your point. Not only should the selection of judges be fair but it should be seen to be fair.

    Same country. Also more English people dislike cockneys and southerners than they do Scots.

    Technically we are a nation, not a country but that makes little difference, I think it's poor from the WBO...how hard would it have been to get for example victor loughlin and then a neutral nationality. Boxing shooting itself in the foot again. I think ricky burns will win beyond any doubt and dominate anyway

    Don't beat around the bush - just say it like it is - O'Conner is bent and possibly the worst judge of a fight in the world.

    We agree on that! ;)

    I wasn't trying to be a smartarse saying that. Just technically UK is one country and Scotland and England are governed by the BBBoC so they dont need to split the judges, that said, they should use common sense and split the judges.

    Can I point out that Ricky Burns v Nicky Cook should never be for 'the world title' either. When you get **** championship fights like this made, I couldn't give a toss if the ref and judges were from the moon.

    Firstly Scotland is a country as is England and they do join bbboc as an individual now this is once again leaving this contest between burns v cook open to a possible upset due to the judges O,connor is and has been at the centre of some worse decision in pro boxing
    and is so bad he should have been strip of his judges and referee badge years ago
