    It appears there's a fair bit of Cha Cha, Tango & Waltzing in WBO Ballroom

    Yeah I know...what I actually should have said is ****** doesn't want Burns to travel, knowing how he lifts in front of his home crowd.

    Could have sworn I had read they tried to get Broner over the there but got a bigger offer to go to the U.S...maybe I didn't.

    I doubt we see guerrero for a while after recent surgery for a rotator cuff injury.

    Not too sure mate, i dont think shoulder/ r.cuff injuries are ever good, although it sounded like this one wasnt cactus. The surgeon apparently said it went well, but thats a given response.

    It's a hard injury to come back from.

    Brendan Smith Confirms Katsidis vs Burns Verbally Agreed

    by Phil D. Jay - WBN - 19th Sept 2011

    The trainer and manager of Aussie hard man Michael Katsidis has confirmed to WBN that his potential fight with former WBO super-featherweight champion Ricky Burns has been verbally agreed and subject to negotiations, should go ahead later in 2011.

    Brendon Smith has overseen two successful trips to the UK by the 31 year-old in the past as Katsidis stopped both Graham Earl and Kevin Mitchell on British soil and is expecteing a great fight when the two boxers step in the ring for the interim WBO lightweight title.

    “We have verbally agreed to fight Ricky Burns for the WBO interim world lightweight title,” Smith told World Boxing News.

    “Ricky Burns is a very good fighter who Michael respects and is looking forward to the challenge.

    “Michael is delighted to have the opportunity to win this title for the 3rd time. It is going to be a great fight!

    More details surrounding the bout are set to emerge soon but it could happen in Burns’ native Scotland, with a date sometime in November expected.

    Jeff Lacy was never the same power puncher after he did his in the Tsypko fight.

    Nov 5 or 12. If it doesn't go ahead Kat's might fight H.Soto. Lots of fights Nov 5 around the world Bute-Johnson,Kessler-Steiglitz and maybe this one. Wonder how many ME SHOW?

    Probably a good match for Katsidis. He needs a break from wars but I'm glad he didn't fight Earl.
