Ricky Burns vs Jose Ocampo

Moses and Mitchell are good defenses.

Its not up to Ricky, he fights who he is told to fight.

 

Average defenses mate, average

I know he fights who he's told to, but he can tell them to **** off and get me a real challenge cant he

 

Thats not the way the adult world works pal

 

Oh, but he is in the WBO top 15 at lightweight. Newly installed for November at number 14.

Coincidentally something similar happened with Shawn Hawk last month.

 

How long is Burns signed to the fishy one for?

If he signs on again with him there can't be any excuses.

I like Burns but Liam Walsh as a keep busy fight is pitiful for a "world champion"

 

There is obviously more to it than that, these foreign fighters must cost £5,000 at the most? Top 10 fighters need 40,000+ it's about what someone is prepared to invest, having weighed up your talent to get the best possible gain for what is on sale. at £40,000+ you could get done over? At £5,000 it saves £££ all round, cert win and another defence is 99.9% guarateed.

 

Spot on, he does not and I stress this does not care about the fans, its what money his grubby little hands can make off of people while doing them a disservice.

 

Where does alec morrison come into this, no dissin the big man in any way haha but shud he be doin more? Shud big alec get fishy wae the throat here or wit

 

Ricky needs a move to Matchroom BIGTIME. Really feel sorry for him.

What a joke of a fight

 

TBH if they wanted anyone half decent they wouldn't of took so long after Liam pulled out. There's better guys out there even at short notice but this is typical of Frank and Dean.

The only suprise is Dean's not used his Call Africa card and opted to splash out for planet talk. I think he liked the 5p offer and no hidden charges. Makes a big difference to the bill at end of the month.

 

You're right, the biggest loser in all of this is Ricky Burns, I get the feeling with him that he wants to fight the best (unlike Cleverly) and old Turtle head is ****ing up his career and legacy.

 

Poor fight, but I can't see him getting Broner on the undercard of a Groves fight.:rofl It's a stay busy fight, nothing more.

And Burns has fought decent opponents since winning the belt. He was the underdog against Katsidis, he skilfully beat Moses who was a decent former world champ, and he destroyed Mitchell, who many people on here picked to win the fight.:deal

 

I agree, he defo wants to fight the best. Ricky would get the fights he wants with matchroom and earn some real life changing cash.

1 step forward and about 25 backwards! Dean Powell is an absolute joker!
