Ricky Burns to vacate and move to lightweight

Billy being a big fan of Rickys i`m damn disappointed if this move goes forward at least beat Broner and then move up. If Ricky`s gonna move up you got to make a good statement before hand. Broner is mandatory and the toughest one to date, moving up in weight and not fighting him will look ridiculous to the majority whatever the reason, and Rickys stock and credibility will be shot, please take note Billy and have a good chat about this with Ricky.

 

Obviously his lightweight debut will be on HBO and for even more money......

 

Might explain why they were "gimmes":think

 

Nah.

 

Now THATS what I want to hear in this big announcement!:deal

Well I can but dream, cant I?

One of the gruesome twosome no doubt:|

 

I agree, why be a champ in an easier division with beatable opposition when you can mix it with the domestic scene up a division? Crazy!



To be fair, I fancy Mitchell to beat Burns as it goes. Just think Ricky would struggle with Mitchell's accuracy and power.

 

Is this the big announcement that got postponed the other week by VVarren?...

Mitchell vs Burns WBO title...?

 

What a coincidence!

I mean he was always meant to be in great shape for those defenses:bbb
So unfortunate that he's went to **** for this Broner fight. :verysad

 

to be fair lets wait and see the announcements rather than listening to a bloke that holds the towel cos he cant afford cheerleader pom poms, lets be honest they cant get any worse than the last three.

Just a fit oppo will be an improvement on the last one

Good honest post.

 

:hey

 

Mitchell is a fine fighter, of that I have no doubt. The way that young man stood up & out-toughed Johanneson who was a very underrated fighter spoke volumes about him. Didnt surprise me in the slightest when he out-toughed Murray too, as Murray hadnt been in with someone like Mitchell, who if he isnt fighting someone with world class power like Kat, can suck it up & give it back in spades.

However, if Burns ends up fighting Mitchell instead of a defining fight? Im not sure I will really give a toss to be honest, cos Im getting older, & my patience aint what it used to be!

 

coz hes black hes a slick fighter?

 

According to a lot of the ******s in the general forum, yes.
