    This is wrong.

    How many times has Katsidis and others held that belt and not get 'full' champion status?

    At least he has Moses to start...

    Well done Ricky burns, stepping up in weight and beating katsidis is not to be sniffed at, was well deserved, Moses and then Mitchell in the summer (that's if Mitchell gets his arse in gear)

    not Ricky's fault that Marquez hasn't defended for over a year and the WBO force his hand.

    Good move by the WBO. Good first defence against moses, he isn't champion until he wins the fight.

    Good luck to lad, he deserves it. He beat a good fighter and tbh in a way if JMM knew what he was doing with belt sooner fight probably would of been for vacant title anyways.

    He's a two weight world champion and beat two good fighters to do it. I remember lad struggling with O'Hara :lol:. Leaps and bounds he's come on.
