    I now think Ricky.

    Kev has to many issues & while he came out the right side of a good fight v Murray, he was under pressure at times & tbf Murrays head movement was non existent.

    Ricky on points.

    I think it would be far from comfortable against Mitchell Billy. Katsidis whilst stronger and harder hitting, is one dimensional. I also think he has slipped some , although Ricky may have made that more apparent. I think a fit focused Mitchell gives Ricky hell .

    It wasn't until last night that i would believe you.

    I always underestimated Burns but he is coming into his prime and is a genuine world class fighter IMO.

    Billy, I know its not really your place to say, but Is it true that Ricky was schooling Kevin in sparring not too long ago? Thats the rumour anyway

    I would have Ricky beating Mitchell without much fuss, his approach to his profession is second to none, and that's very refreshing in this day and age

    I actually would have had Ricky beating Mitchell even before the katsidis fight, I just think since Ricky beat Martinez, he's really looked, and acted world class!!

    Congratulations on last night billy, yourself and Ricky did yourselves proud!!

    Well it depends which Mitchell comes to the ring but I still fancy a fully focussed Mitchell to win a very close fight. If he comes in any less than 100% he gets beat though. It's a hard pick and after Martinez/Katsidis you can't write Ricky off in any fight. Its a good fight imo and I have no problem with them making this one
