    We all know rickys opp was no world beater although iv been talking with a mate this morning who was in the england am squad the same time de rocco was italian capt he said he was italys golden boy then and he remrmbers him beating fletcher.
    Nurse put in a good performance and is coming along nicely now imo.
    Would the scottish hardcore accrpt Nurse as Rickys 1st defense?
    How do we see this going? Would Nurse outpoint Rickster?

    Terrible fight if it happens. Nurse hasn't done much beyond domestic level and Burns would break him down and stop him.

    There are Broner rumours doing the rounds, but given that Burns says he is better suited to LW and the British fighters fighting at LW at the minute, I wouldn't be surprised to see him drop back to LW for a big British clash.

    Out of interest, who is Burns' mandatory?

    paper belt holding has got to the point where if i've heard of the guy i don't bat a lid. nurse was on the same card so they're good.

    seriously tho, i don't care if burns makes some extra money at the end of his career, good for him.
