it was in prizefigther not a 12 round fight so it doesn't count....and he lost at european level. niether deserve the fight. if you have to say who deserves it more honestly i would say nicky cook as he has at least been at the higher level and won fights even if it was a long time ago. Buckland hasn't beat anyone in the top 10 either.
is burns and Nelson supposed to be happy about it ? in the corner after the first round is billy going to whisper gently into Ricky's ear "Remeber Rob Palmer is supporting you. so go and win,if not for the orphans,then win for Rob"
how is that post funny? someone in this thread mentioned i think cook can win or will support him because he is from london. I want Burns to win thats why i was pointing that out. i don't show bias towards fighters based on where they come.
Well considering I hardly post here anymore, maybe I should be honoured that Im still remembered so fondly by some! Cooks a good test for Burns, & especially as hes fighting on home turf. & as we all know when the englanders fight a jock? They always bring their A game. So please, dont insult my intelligence by reminding me that Cook got beat by the man that Burns beat, dont you think I realise this already?
Dunky why do you hardly post here anymore? you post somewhere else these days or just not bother at all?
awright Tam, how are you my good man? I dont post anywhere else, I just have taken a bit of a backseat is all, I prefer to read this place nowadays & only come in from time to time, as Im getting older the fire in my belly aint what it used to be mate! Im happy to play a bit part role nowadays, still love the boxing of course, but Im happy to sit back & let everyone else argue & just chime in with the odd post! As you know, being a scottish boxing fan is a tough tour of duty, and as an old ESB vet, Im happy to be semi-retired:good
