    I agree, this is his standard reply....

    He knows that Burn is nowhere near world level and when compared to some of the LW greats Ricky is nowhere near them. Billy goes quite on that subject.

    I actually like Billy and thought he did a great job with Ricky, just wish he would be more honest with himself.

    Saying that his loyalty to Ricky is commendable if not prehaps misguided

    So is that the only reason burns beat Gonzales? You can't have it both ways.

    A solid European level fighter who was managed well with a good home town support.

    Will you pack it in with all the Scott hype. He's like Joey Barton. Overrated as his fans blame his misdemeanours for his inability to rise to the very top. Fact is he was never good enough to dominate his division or even hang with the truly elite guys.

    Decent but not this Morales level guy you keep banging on about. He got TKO'd by a guy with 80 odd losses.

    just catching up with the Burns bill (well he was the second billing, not top).

    tbh burns looks like he always has though perhaps hes a mite slower now, swinging at air a lot, looking for KOs, with spirit but not much timing. He hasn't really changed, hes going to get exposed at top level again.

    still got half the card to catch up with. liked callum beating up uncle bob.
