    That's not entirely true Billy?? Ronnie is a Gilmour fighter and takes nothing to do with who Ronnie spars with.. Seen you in a picture with Andreas Evensen sparring Ryan Collins? Is he over here for a while?

    You tell me reason? Could only guess it was financial, as Scott was better than Barrios. Kedebe was not as good as those two, but if you look at Johnson, Tracey Paterson, Robinson, Wenton as early fights that is far harder than what Ricky fought early in career would u not agree? McCullough, Abelyn, Mendina, Hussein all people Scott beat are better than people Ricky has beat when world champion, at end of day Beltran won by a wide margin (worst judging decision I have ever witnessed) Gonzalaz outclassed Ricky until retired injured (Ricky won last round)

    Should pay expenses, at end of day a good upcoming fighter should want the education of fighting world class opponents, as its doing him a favour as much as the more established name. Remember Carl Froch once say he used to spar Howard Eastman and got hammered for years, but those years were priceless (he never let his ego get in way of getting an education of a guy who was at the time much better than he was). Now he's a multi millionaire and properly wouldn't be without such an education, so should he now pay Eastman for those experiences, of course not as both benefitted. Don't get me wrong its a nice touch if a champion gives them a wee bung if they do well in sparring. Is it true Luke Campbell held his own with Ricky in sparring? (I really thought he was an ideal sparring partner for Crawford when I heard Ricky was using him)

    I've been watching my Harrison career set dvd's this week as well Billy.

    I was at both the McCullogh and Moses fights at Braehead, but i would say the Harrison fight was a better atmosphere because David Hegarty was better at singing The Flower of Scotland :lol:

    What weight is he fighting at? Well done on getting him to fight again. Think he may have a world title in him at Feather or even SBW

    When was Scott offered the Barrios fight?
    A remember Joan Guzman was meant to fight Scott in Belfast, but Guzman went on to fight Barrios up at Super-featherweight.
    And i remember Juan Manuel Marquez was made mandatory after that, but he went onto fight Barrera up at super-fetherweight as well.
