    Don't know much about Barthelemy but it would be a very bad move to go after Garcia or Figueroa, and Beltran probably doesn't get him the world title shot he would want if he were to win which I believe he could, maybe 60/40 in Burns favour.

    I know who Ricky is fighting next and it's a very good fight and when he wins it he can move onwards with his career

    A non title fight in america makes no financial sense for Ricky , circa $40k then pay 10% manager and 10% trainer then fees etc plus income tax , he would be better back working in DW Sports

    better than Belran, mate Ricky would have handed Beltran a beating had it not been for the injury, every bit as good as Gonzalez
    Great fight for him to totally reestablish himself:good

    Great stuff cant wait I am probably one of the few on here that completely agrees about beltran it was target practice for 3 rounds until the injury, is ricky's fight a eliminator billy?
