Ricky Burns

Up next, I can't help but think to time to call it a day for him. I hope I'm eating humble pie in a few rounds.

[lord bunberry]

Well that was bizarre, why did they throw the towel in?

[Pretty Boy]

Very strange.

Though Burns looked sharp and was doing well before the bizarre ending, he was actually very impressive in defeat v Omar Figueroa Jr last time out, although I think his days of fighting at world level are now behind him.

There's no doubt he's still a class act, but I wonder what's left in the game for him. Another couple of wins could see him get another shot at a title due to his name, but I can't see him winning another title.

This is a right tear up. I'm struggling to call a winner.

I'm not sure if an all Scottish fight with Willie Limond for the British title at Light welterweight would interest either fighter? I'm sure it would interest a few promoters as a money maker.

Tbh the British lightweight division doesn't have a lot of strength in depth, assuming Anthony Crolla is tied up at world level for a while and Kevin Mitchell likewise, so there may be options for him there. A fight with Luke Campbell may be of interest, assuming he wins tonight and Campbell's advisors fancy it which I doubt.

I can't see a domestic fighter other than Mitchell wanting to fight Burns, revenge would be the only motivation.

See I was thinking along the same lines, but then Crolla should have a world title just now, but I'd fancy Ricky to beat him. So I think there's still title fights left for him.

I hope so as I loved watching him in his prime, but I can't help think that any future title fight would end badly for him.

Burns was battering him, but no need for the towel. Fight after was a peach.

Campbell is going to win the headliner easily I reckon.

Campbell looked good but Coyle was brave as a lion.

Think burns would beat crolla and derry Matthews don't know about luke Campbell it would be a huge test for Campbell see how good he really is
