    As it stands i know Matchroom have TV dates to meet hence coming to glasgow on June 27th with a rumoured clash between Ricky and the winner of Crolla/Murray but heres a few options imo

    A, If either Crolla or Murray get a bad cut on April 19th that ideas fcucked

    B, Mitchell has no opponent for Froch undercard now Vasquez cant fight due to a healing cut

    C, Is Burns vs Mitchell on the Froch undercard an easy fight to make and scrap the June card in glasgow ??


    Thoughts on this.................

    I reckon Mitchell will fight in an eliminator on the Froch Groves card and Burns will fight Crolla (or Murray, I personally fancy Crolla to win) in June

    Burns v Mitchell 2 isn't really a fight in demand at the moment. Could be far bigger a few months down the line, if Ricky gets back on track and Mitchell wins a world title

    Why go to the states and fight someone in front of a handful of people when he sells out arenas in Scotland? Eddie seems set on the idea of Ricky facing the winner of Crolla/Murray so that seems likely for June 27th.

    Who exactly? You mention the States in every thread but seem incapable of naming an opponent.

    F*ck Eddie!

    Hearn only wants Ricky to fight the winner of Crolla/Murray because it's cheap and it makes his Manchester show look better when it's just another bag of shite bill of his as usual.
    Burns should be getting a title shot, but surprise, surprise Hearns not wanting to get him one (£££).

    To be fair, after the past 3 fights which included a broken jaw I don't blame Hearn for giving Ricky a domestic opponent. One win here, confidence boosted and a world title shot later in the year which Hearn has suggested will happen. I don't see the problem.

    Eddie is up seeing Ricky today so lets hope we get an announcement soon on his next opponent.

    I don't think his fans are. It makes it a lot easier for his fans to see him if he is.

    My main concern is if it is crolla or murray and either get hurt or cut in the fight it wone leave enough healing time prior to starting another 8-10 week camp including rest and downtime in between
