    Already signed and sealed, according to Fast Eddie it's between Jose Gonzalez and Miguel Vasquez.

    Burns/Gonzales May 11th :deal
     
  2. Im thinking its Vasquez. Eddie would usually just tell people who it is, even if its before the scheduled press conf..

    but cos frank arsed it all up, eddie will be giving the Vasquez team a chance to travel over and announce it in person so theres no doubts, hence the wait till tuesday...

    thoughts?

    I hope your right mate! Also if you look at the recent video of Burns on the pads with Brother Billy Nelson, he's punching upwards, Vasquez is probably the only fighter taller then Burns in the division, wishful thinking maybe!

    Nonsense BA the reason the pads are held like that is to ensure his hands go back high and he won't get caught with counters,thought you would have known that?
    that's how he's got a great defence now.
    You have so much to learn BA :lol::lol::rofl:rofl

    It if's Vasquez then bloody hell, well done Matchroom. There's no way anyone cannot give Eddie props for that IF it's true.

    That fight looked to be dead thanks to Allegedly's incompetence but if it's been salvaged then thank ****. Fingers crossed.

    You're a bit slow on the pads though Billy I made a cup of tea and came back in the time it took you to get them down for Ricky to throw those upper cuts!

    ;)

    ****ing hell Billy lad :lol: A few people pointed it out the other day, just thought it had some sense to it, I'm not a trainer I don't have the first clue when it comes to pad work and all that stuff.

    Is it really that funny?

    If you watch the padwork he actually punches in line with his own chin, every fighter should,that ensures your shoulder in part of your defence to counters.
    Make up your own mind don't read what others think and jump on the bandwagon!

    I said I thought it made sense as Someone who has never worked the pads up close, I'm clueless on the subject.

    I did make my own mind up, but you've clearly proved my conspiracy theory to be wrong :lol:

    Then you ask yourself even if you disagree with me,why would Ricky punch upwards when Vasquez is the same height?????
