    The card so far:

    Amir Khan vs. Dmitriy Salita (winner gets Marcos Rene Maidana)
    Kevin Mitchell vs. Breidis Prescott (winner gets Katsidis or JMM)
    Alex Arthur vs. Nigel Wright (fight is at 140, Arthur has totally lost it if he can't make 130no more)
    BJS, DeGale, and Gavin fighting nobodies

    Arthur is only doing light welter for this fight because after his blood pressure problems the Docter advised him not to diet until next year.

    Burns is getting shafted here, when was the last time Mitchell defended his British title?, he should vacate and let Ricky fight for it.

    Agreed. Feel sorry for Ricky in this one, felt he had a very good chance of beating Mitchell too.

    think he has. but Burns will not be fighting for it. think he is mandatory for Martinez, hopefully will happen next year.

    Ricky will not have been made manditory because as far as I am aware your promoter or manager has to put a letter into the board stating the reasons why you should be given a shot at a title and Warren isnt going to do that cause he would rather Mitchell had it, when was the last time Mitchell defended it? infact has he ever?

    Frankie dont bother.

    Your fifth fight for ****s sake what do they expect. I thought Saville was a very good oppo for your 4th fight.

    To be fair,I dont think he was being disrespectful by saying the prospects were fighting 'nobodies'. Maybe disrespecting the journeymen and cans but not the prospects.

    No one expects them to be fighting decent fighters as they are learning their trade.
