Burns Next Opponent in the states (options)

Hard task based on form but hope he puts in gd performance does scotland proud Ppl to quick to jump on ppls backs at least he's fightin gd opposition all best Ricky bhoy

 

No one jumping on his back just giving an opinion on how he may fair. Hope he wins but i think he will be beat easy

 

I hope Ricky wins, really do, but cant see it, think he will get stopped late for first time in his career. Is never a LWW, the good thing is he is not fighting a natural LWW in Figueroa who is also a LW, so dont think that will be a real factor, just that he is fighting someone who at this stage is much better than he has.

 

Retirement paycheque for Burns-it is that simple.

 

I hope Ricky can pull it off he's surprised us all before and hopefully can again but this is a tough fight.

 

Well well... looks like Billy wasn't exaggerating when he said it was a "name" opponent. I almost wish it wasn't though - the Ricky I saw in Leeds in October isn't KOing anyone, and even if he completely reverses his form, he certainly won't get a decision in Figueroa's backyard. Good luck to him though; I've given Kevin Mitchell enough good will through all his ups and down, courtesy demands I extend the same to a man who beat him, for a little while anyway.
