    If by stinker you mean technical, then maybe you are right.

    You certainly stick to the party line, I'll give you that :lol:

    My only concern is if Vazquez comes to the UK and manages to outbox Ricky convincingly it's almost guaranteed he would get robbed on the cards, i mean Dirrell got robbed against Froch so it's definitely possible.

    :lol: :rofl :happy

    Just like many predicted, Burns will fight a bum and thats what he is doing! Gonzalez is ****ing awful, a guy who hasn't even fought 12 rounds. Eddie's promotional team will be talking about him as some tough hard south American on thursday I bet :lol:

    Just read Hearn's comments, blaming everyone apart from himself from being unable to secure an opponent in the top ****ing 20. Pathetic.

    It`s his mandatory unfortunatly,not a great fight,his worst at ligtweight in fact but it still pisses over Laryea who this guy beat in 3 rounds, bad back nicky Cook which was a disgrace of a fight and Everson who must be close to being classed a midget.I will judge hearn on the September opponent where there should be no mandatory to cloud the matter

    He will fight Rees if he comes through unscathed in June. You have to remember guys like vasquez, broner and abril will have fights most likely scheduled for the summer so fighting in September will prove to be difficult.

    Nothing Eddie can't sort out, I'm sure. Have faith.

    We shall see,september is being mentioned at the moment but who knows it`s not set in stone they could wait til October for someone like Vasquez,the Rees fight wouldn`t be good enough for me and i`m a Rees fan he would need two big wins for that fight to interest me,unification is what is needed.

    By the way love the avater:lol:

    If Burns fights Rees in September then that is a step back again, Eddie needs to have something lined up immediately to negotiate with Abril/Vasquez or Broner in the event Ricky wins on May 11th.

    Realistically then that leads Vasquez and Abril because Hearn has pretty much stated he doesnt want Ricky in with broner

    I don't think that Burns will fight Rees, I saw an interview somewhere, were he said that no offence to Scott Harrison or Gavin Rees, but there looking at bigger fights than that.
