    Don't know how reliable it is but livefight have just tweeted that Gonzalez has broken his forearm apparently and not his hand.

    What reason would I have to do that? I'm praising a guy who I feel deserves it. I know in your world (I assume you're a teenager) it's commonplace to troll the internet finding negatives in everything and mocking those who find positives but frankly I don't really care mate. So I'll praise whoever I want thank you

    Burns has had a run of very decent opponents in defence of his title,Gonzalez being the best,I reckon.I could actually see him taking on Rees if he wanted to drop the level slightly.Gavin a terrific boxer but just short of world class now as IMO not as good as when he won his title.Cant see any reason for this fight if its his first fight since Broner,its the same mentality as getting Diaz for Brook.Maybe Walsh could earn such a fight if he beat a couple of better fighters than he has,but plenty of better fights for Ricky Im sure.

    Billy,I don't know what you saw in that post that makes you think I feel Saturday was representative of Ricky at his best.
    I know there are plenty of people on the Brit who defend Ricky,but it's a bit lonelier on the General mate,and I'm often the target of the American Broner trolls who see me as Ricky's biggest fanboy!
    I've learned never to write Ricky off Billy, and if you think I thought Saturday was the real Ricky,you should check some of the threads post fight in the Gen.

    Ah'm no a fanboy but ah jist pure love Ricky so ah dae.
    In no like a poof either.

    Don't think there will be trouble i just think both of them are man enough to admit when a performance wasn't as good as they were expecting and fair play to both of them for it Ricky got the W in a tough fight let's see what he's got in September before we pass judgement.
