    think they won 3 out of 5 possible titles in the novices. The Barn have been plagued with bad decisions for a number of years, probably due to how dominant they were in every championships.

    As I just said, no point in debating Rabs attitude with you MIK, your too close to the old fella for reasoned debate.

    Perhaps but doesn't change the fact that you are being given the wrong end of the stick purely from a couple of poorly worded internet posts. Rab hasn't been wishing defeat on Ricky or ignoring him as you seem to think.

    I hear what your saying bro! I do think Billy has been good for Ricky, I didnt say otherwise my good man. I get on really well with Rab, but the change has done Ricky good. And of course your right with the Shannon comment:yep:yep Take it easy bud, later.....

    I wish I could see Ricky doing it but I can't, unfortunately.

    All the best though Burns, good wee fighter but he's up against it.

    Intangibles people.

    BOXING IS FULL OF IT MIK,
    NOT JUST THE BARN BUT IN MY 20 YEARS INVOLVED WITH RAB IT HAS BEEN TRUE TO SOME EXTENT REGARDS THE DECISIONS BUT NO POINT GOING ON ABOUT IT,ITS BEEN THE STORY FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS AT LEAST.
    JUST MAKE SURE YOU TRAIN HARDER THAN THE REST SO IT MAKES IT HARDER FOR ANY BAD DECISION.
    I KNOW THE BEHIND THE SCENE GOINGS ON WITH THE RICKY MOVE AND I ASSURE YOU RAB ISNT BITTER,DISSAPOINTED YES.HE ACTUALLY DOES WISH HIM WELL.

    ANYWAY MIK HOPE YOU STICK AT IT AND STAY OUT OF BOTHER.HAHA COS WITH A FACE LIKE YOURS YOU ONLY HAVE BOXING.:bbb

    TELL RAB IM ASKING FOR HIM WHILE I LAZE AT THE SIDE OF THE POOL.

    M.T

    He is Frank Warren fighter, not one of his fighter's deserve title shots but they always seem to be ranked in the top 10 by the WBO for holding commenwealth titles.

    I agree but I have seen much worse, have you seen the Super Featherweight division it is the worst division in Boxing right now in my mind absolutely no depth what so ever.
