    Fish eyes is a joke. especially after his comments about Burns/Froch.

    This is like matchroom putting Rocky Fielding in with Froch. .

    It's a bad fight, one that Walsh is no where near ready for, though better than a Harrison fight I suppose.

    Burns is a quality fighter but allegedly needs to stop giving him poor fights and let him get in with the best in the division.

    For Prizefighter, he has still got that dodgy ranking in the wbo's top15 for superfeatherwight.

    If Burns is out again I'd like to see him in with someone like Sergio Thompson, he's pretty crude but is a genuine top 10 lightweight who holds some decent victories including the 2 round destruction of Linares.

    Beat Paul Appelby to earn a shot at a world title. There's something seriously ****ed about that sentence.

    If they think that they can sell out the secc with this fight then they are way off the mark.

    Of course they will. That's the level of fighter Burns fights. How he has a world belt is beyond me.. Cardboard champion.

    Jesus Christ this is a bad move, if Walsh is moving up I'd much rather see him against Crolla or Matthews, Ricky Burns is one of the worlds top lightweights who shouldn't be pissing about with Super Featherweights that haven't got much experience, Burns should be looking to become the true champion!

    Typical Frank, he killed Burns momentum back down at Super Featherweight and it looks like he's about to do the same at Lightweight.

    Packing out the SECC might prove to be a bad thing for Burns career.

    Good for him in terms of $$$, but in terms of legitimate challenges. Not so good.

    Frank is no doubt thinking WBU, MEN, Ricky Hatton all over agin!

    This reminds me of the time Ricky Hatton beat Kostya Tzyu and Frank said "ive got Ricky a great unification fight in his his home town of Manchester as his first outing as the best LWW in the world, its with the best young prospect in the division........................ Gavin Rees" :lol:

    This guy is a ****ing cancer on this sport !!!!!!!!
