Good neutral prediction there, Billy. :DD

I have undecided opinions on Broner myself. In the PDL fight he didn't look too clever but looked really impressive against Litzau albeit only lasting one round. I will reserve judgement on him until after his next test whoever it may be against.

Broner wasnt impressive v PDL and I actually backed Litzau to beat him after his win v Caballero, but despite him showing a real killer insitinct and some serious power, the jury is still out on him when you consider a smaller guy like PDL gave him some serious problems.

Super feather is a really weak division and if I was Golden Boy I would do everything in my power for Broner to fight the winner of Burns v Cook. Burns should win that, but it would be a serious step up for him fighting Broner as I get the feeling the PDL fight was just an off night, maybe nerves on co headlining a big HBO bill.

Broner's style is pretty boring however and you could see him being involved in some poor fights in the future, fans were booing after two minutes on Saturday.

I don't think we've seen the best of Ricky Burns, but then i don't think we've seen the best of Adrien Broner either.

Get em in the ring and lets find out.

Is love to see the fight but let's be honest the future of Ricky burns is mapped out and it doesnt involve fighting the best. That's three domestic fights now masquerading as world title fights. Wbo strap or no burns does not feature in the thoughts of the worlds best, who are not going to come to braehead arena to fight a no-name opponent.

why not get your man to make the fight then Billy?

Time Ricky fought his first proper opponent since Martinez dont you think?

Nowt against Ricky, sound lad and Martinez victory was excellent, but he's having a run of fights thats pretty much the polar opposite to Froch's
