Wow, this is a freakin' awesome fight. Shame it's gonna be lost in amongst the hype of other events.

 

A legitimate TTG? Nice

 

:yep

 

Nice defence for Ricky, he's building up a very good record at Lightweight. If he gets by this fight I hope he goes for unifications. I honestly think he'd beat DeMarco and Vasquez.

 

I like this fight. Burns will have the reach advantage but Bogere can cut the distance pretty well and it'll be interesting to see him throw at Burns when he's in a rhythm.

A good contender vs contender bout this.

 

With Rios and Marquez seemingly outgrowing the division, these two, and Abril are the only thing in Burns' way to run the division :yikes

Burns would be 50-50 in all of them IMO.

 

Is this a voluntary?. I wonder if Frank's looking to get options on this kid.

A real high risk, low reward fight for Ricky IMO.

 

Agreed. But if Burns comes through another good test it will only make him stronger.

Surprised they didn't put him in with well prepared Kev' on the Upton Park bill? Oh, well, Youssef Al Hamidi it is then.

 

:deal All roads lead to Youssef.

Agree maybe Ricky's catching this kid early before he fulfills potential.

 

maybe this is the next fight Mr Nelson is not saying much about it

 

nice fight...wow. big surprise this.


i think bogere was hurt a few fights ago, small and fighting a more experienced champion.

i cant pick it easily but i think bogere is his best sanctioned fight to date.

WAR rickster

 

Good to see Bogere get a shot doesn't seem that long ago he was coming out in a cage dressed as a lion He did keep himself busy as well. Really good fight. Came out of nowhere.

 

So who will Mitchell be fighting at Upton Park?
