    Can you imagine it..

    Mitchell lands with a left hook, Burns falls back onto ropes in full guard as Mitchell attacks. Mitchell lands a hook to body and hits gloves with left hook to head.

    It's over!!!! O'Connor has stopped it!!!. Mitchell has won. Burns on ropes soaking up some pressure and O'Connor just stopped it...

    Remember Scott Harrison had the same complaint for the Brodie fight.

    relax people, there's nothing to worry about. this could have been negotiated when the contracts were signed. if the fight takes place in scotland mitchell gets the ref and judges coming from england. this seems fair. burns has dealt with a lot of english refs and judges before without any problems what so ever. so people shouldn't be quick to call foul.

    IF anything untoward takes place THEN call foul, but not before.

    Honestly I like Mitchell but Burns is a much more proven boxer. It'll be interesting but Burns has to start favourite.

    No it doesn't, its ****ed up....no other sport in the world would allow this type of **** to go down. World title fights should be at least judged and possibly also refereed by neutral officials

    3 English refs and an English judge? Is that fish eyes way of evening the odds a bit? Let's hope to **** that Ian John Lewis is nowhere to be seen on the night, or Ricky will be out of there before Mitchell lands a single punch!

    WTF has "home ground"" got to do with anything? He's the champ, challengers should come to him. No other sport would allow this crap, none. If they had fought in London what would the reaction have been if all the judges and the ref had been Jockos, there would have been ****ing hell on.
