I aint saying he is the next coming of Marco Antonio Barrera or something like that, but he has beaten many fighters better than who Burns has beaten.

Not seen Sykes diggler - whats he like - clearly you rate him, strengths in all areas, or one particular area?

Quick view would be appreciated, looked at his record and assumed Burns would be a good favourite, hate it when I have'nt seen someone

In the Scottish Sun today it says the MArtinez fight has still never been signed as there Split was still not agreed.
The way His manager is Alex Morrison talks is that its the British they will go for as this will give him opertunity for Word Title fight nearer home

It also says thought that Mr Warren says hes confident the world title fight will happen.

It mentions the Brish fight was won by matchroom so Wazza wont want them going there.

Gutted for Burns that this fight is off, it will be hard for him to motivate himself for the Sykes fight but its a good test for Sykes.

hahha Thanks mate. I just can't imagine the payday in PUERTO rico would've been that great though........BUT yes, if he'd won he would be due a good payday. But I just couldn't see it.....
