    Sykes/Burns would be good. Don't think Burns is much better TBH despite all this talk of world title shots this is more his level. He is a little more skilled but he doesn't have the ability to grit his teeth and throw a ton of punches like this guy.

    Seen one Casey fight he likes to scrape and has a good punch on him. Moran though i don't think he will catch him unless ring rust is there, but he took a beating off Booth before it was stopped.

    :lol: Say what you want about Warren but he will always get a title shot for anyone with a fair bit of talent.

    Was surprised when this match-up was announced, considering this is basically just a tune-up for Rose.

    Anyone with power is going to trouble Burns. He has a good chin but a world level fighter is just going to walk him down and whack him to the body where he's open and simply bust him up over the course of the fight because he doesn't punch hard enough or employ any upper body movement to make him evasive. He's good in many departments but not good enough in any. He fights like Mikkel Kessler in reverse.

    Rose looks very average.

    What is it about VIP Promotions fighters.... they just never fight anybody at all :-(
