    Exactly Claypole
    Burns" why should i have to fight in America"


    There will never be a Broner fight.
    The only decent test for him in the next year and a half will be VVarren

    It's a shame that Burns and Nelson don't fancy the Broner fight. The WBO Reign of Terror route may make sense from a long term financial view, and I understand they don't want to lose the belt. There will be no real legacy to speak of, though.

    If that's the case then Eddie and all involved will get as much stick as Frank would and rightly so.

    I see no reason why he shouldnt fight Vasquez as planned. (unless Vasquez has found another fight).

    The Rees fight would be a disgrace.

    Broner sailed off into the distance, Vazquez has gone west....those were the only two defining fights in the division

    Ree's is not a good fight under the circumstances, somebody who has just lost fighting for an ABC title has no business fighting for another one in his next fight, that is taking a **** in the fans faces and mugging them off.
     
  7. i am sure they will pick someone first up who can be hyped and to brainwash the scots into going

    Rees would be a decent fight compared to what we'll actually get.

    Do Burns and team really fancy the Vasquez fight? Would they really have left Frank just before it if so? Unless Burns wasn't getting paid of course, same old story.

    And if it was just a case of the money, why can Eddie not arrange for Vasquez to come over in May? Hopefully he will but I really doubt it.

    That won't be hard, whoever the opponent is. A lot of fans going to see Ricky fight in Scotland won't be hardcore boxing fans, they will be patriotic sports fans proudly supporting their Scottish "world" champ.
