    Well I dont agree with you here either, reading far too much into it and trying for some reason to show that you are ALWAYS right!

    You just dont like it when someone disagrees with you! and you are still showing that by way of your response.

    Not true, I don't care if someone disagrees, I care how.

    But believe whatever you like.

    What happens to Burns against Rios when he sits on the ropes like he does in every fight?

    yeah i get ya, Ricky tucks up well though takes a few shots here and there, he`ll need to not stay on the ropes for too long a period as he normally does,needs to turn and get out of there abit more and must try to use rios aggression against him. and make him miss, no easy feat though. So far its worked for Ricky when hes stayed on the ropes.
    Murray had his successes against Rios, it took till the championship rds to stop him, Burns wont be taking punches in the face like Murray did, hell be out jabbing Rios, it could go different ways, it will be a close fight, but we`ll have to wait and see.

    I think that Burns could beat Rios, and I would back him to do so if they were to fight any time soon, especially if Rios makes 135.

    I think that Rios looks disinterested a lot of the time, and making weight take something out of him for sure, Ricky has a good chin and Rios doesn't hit that hard.

    I think it's a very interesting fight and I can see Burns taking it by a small margin on the cards. Saying this, I don't think this fight will happen at all.

    Also true, especially when Rios tries to come inside, right uppercut, left hook straight right move out of range and get back behind the jab.

    There wasn't 17,000 there when burns was fighting, erm, who did he fight again?

    The fight probably shouldn't be in London. But it would certainty make more financial sense if it was held in London, what with ticket sales

    I take it you'd be getting Rios over here for the fight then? After all, he isn't a champion. Hide behind the astro turf all you like :lol:

    Bit harsh mucker. Would really be a homecomin of the highest order for the rickster, would be the talk a the towns and the place to be come summer. Braeheed is shite and a wouldna travel to london so its gotta be airdrie for me. Would rather it was at albion rovers park but that just aint gonna happen.

  15. They could have it on neutral ground.

    Somewhere like Leeds would be superb. Just sayin'.

    Someone else might have mentioned this before but I think centre court at Wimbledon would be a really good boxing venue.

    It doesn't matter, they could fight in Mitchell's living room and Burns would still knock him out anyway. The difference in proven ability is massive, one has beaten three top operators and the other none.

    That's the bottom line.
