    What boxer makes his debut into professional boxing with a genuine world champion? For students of boxing trivia, the answer is Sean Watson of Fauldhouse. Tonight was supposed to be his debut into the paid ranks, but his opponent backed out, but enter all round good guy Ricky Burns, who at very short notice gave an exhibition with the new professional. Yes it was only an exhibition, but it was carried out with sting from both of them and indeed was more entertaining than some actual bouts I've watched over the years.

    This is the mark of Ricky Burns, he needn't have bothered his backside with a title bout of his own to concern him in Liverpool in July, but he genuinely is the real deal in kindness!

    Sean "Fatty Watty" Watson will certainly remember his first time in the professional ring. All in all this was an excellent show, absorbing throughout and well worth the three hour drive each way to witness.

    good to see Burns getting tested after his last couple of fights. Seriously though, classy stuff from Burns. Cant see many other pros doing that, never mind world champions

    Fair play to Ricky though he does seem like a nice guy. I've always enjoyed exhibition fights when I've seen them. Sometimes they can easily be more entertaining than a proper fight where you might end up with a bull**** decision or it's just a prospect v bum and they're nearly always fought in at least a slightly competitive way.
