    Ricky Burns v Julius Indongo in main event.

    Also Scott Cardle v Robbie Barrett and Charlie Edwards v Iain Butcher on the undercard.

    How does everyone see them going ??

    Personally I see 3 wins for the Matchroom fighters all on points.

    Yeah should be 3 Matchroom wins although I think Edwards might get the stoppage.

    Mad that Burns & Indongo are in a unification fight and neither of them are anywhere near the quality of the best in the division. Indongo's knockout was a fluke imo and even though Burns' is pretty shot i'd still favour him to grind out the win.

    I'm looking forward to this card. Indongo is still something of an unknown quality really.

    A shop worn Burns fighting out of his optimum weight class v a tall rangey quick leftie....

    Indongo might be frail he might fade he if can't put burns away but we don't really know anything about him. I can see it being a difficult night for burns similar to when he fought Gonzalez

    Indongo is a complete unknown, hard to say. Both are virtually interim champs anyway, those belts going home to Crawford soon enough.

    Edwards should put on a good showing, stoppage IMO

    Really hope Burns does it but I think Indongo is all wrong for him. Indongo will make a name for himself this Saturday imo and in the inevitable rematch.

    I've got a feeling this is all going to go horribly wrong for burns

    Hard one for Burns. Couldn't care less about Cardle. Edwards-Butcher is an intersting one though. I think Butcher could pull off the upset.

    I don't think anyone knows much about Indongo to comment. Looking at his record, has only fought at African level bar his knock out win in Moscow, 50% KO rate suggest his power might be overrated. On paper Ricky should comfortably outbox him and he has a pretty solid chin too. Burns by UD or late stoppage for me.

    Indongo's pad work at the open workout was pretty impressive IMO he clearly is technically skilled. If Indongo is the underdog with the bookies it might well be worth a punt even though he is an unknown quantity, although Ricky has had some generous scorecards with Sky.

    He probably won't KO Ricky though, Burns is 100% Scottish iron chinned steel.

    I've seen Burns dropped, have his jaw broken, do virtually nothing for the rest of the fight and still get a draw in Glasgow so Indongo is going to need a stoppage.

    All Burns has to do is stay upright so I'm going Burns.
