[Alba]

Jon SLowey v Marco Mcullogh (sp) for the celtic title ... good fight .

[Emmseegee]

I think Selby will blow Walsh away tbh.

I like that fight. Slowey is counter punching southpaw and McCulloch will walk forward all night and let bombs go. Should be good.

[geoffburt07]

David Brophy v Jason Ball. Another decent fight as Ball will come to win.

[billy nelson]

Stop getting your panties in a twist Billy aha. I said I don't want to take a holiday and travel to the to the show if its not 50/50 fights. Just because there's certain belts on the line doesn't mean they will be good fights. Hearn usually matches well and I know Morrison isn't scared to put his boys in with good guys but like most, I wouldn't buy tickets without knowing the line up.

I think the line up of home fighters is decent enough value for £40 , plus getting to see Luke Campbell and Scott Cardle aswell ,as these guys wont be fighting reguarly up here. Its all down to opnions of course, but 3/4 title fights over the championship distance is good value, while the opponents might not be public knowledge or even up on Box rec im sure there will be some decent ones in there ...

Decent enough Alba?
Compare the quality on show,venue and value for money compared to certain other shows lately and you'll surely come to the same conclusion as me

I knew simpson was boxing for commenwealth but think they found it hard to get opponent.

just had a tweet off ryan walsh and his fighting selby for both his titles which wud mean no shot for simpson at feather

I think Simpson should stay at super feather anyway. He looks good at the weight.

[geoffburt07]

Simmons boxing Argintina champ. Slowey v Mccolloch. Brophy v Jason Ball. Luke Campbell v lee Connelly. Micheal Roberts v eddie Nessbitt. Simpson injured

[geoffburt07]

Paul Appleby returns to the ring aswell. Either 4x3s or 6x3s at light welter

[billy nelson]

Slowey boxing a welsh lad now

[fightscorecollector]

geoffburt i heard the same thing via twitter from simmons trainer about him fighting the argentine champion

Undercard will be considered dross to the casual Sky fan. Can see a fair few tuning in at 10pm or so just to see the main event.

General consensus aint good on there.

Billy who's the welsh lad he's boxing. It isn't turley is it

It's not and it isn't a great card, but that place is full of the old ESB lot, you've got people saying that a prime Scott Harrison would take out Ricky Burns in 3 rounds And that pudendum Rob Palmer's there as well, good reason to avoid it, comes out with some of the most ridiculous claims ever. Always used to say that before a PPV he'd have 50-60 people asking him whether to buy it, just looked at his twitter and he appears to have no friends, all his tweets are to Eddie Hearn, Dave Coldwell, Spencer Fearon, Steve Lillis and Dean Powell.

Think Ricky would have at least seen the 5th round.

[Paullow]

John Simpson off the undercard now. Weakest undercard since the new Sky format?

Aye exactly, a Prime Scott Harrison would destroy a hard working, nicey nicey Ricky Burns. You are better being lucky than good in this sport.

What happened to him?

[geoffburt07]

Think he done his shoulder in sparring. Who is slowey boxing now? Does anyone know? Heard Cardle v Gary Fox but again not vonfirmed

[whiskey]

Beltran is legit and a proper throwback.

I forecast a long difficult night for Ricky and this result is by no means assured.

Bookies have Burns a 2/9 favorite whereas Beltran is a ridiculous 10/3 outsider.

If Rick brings his A-game, plus the fantastic crowd behind him, he should dominate.

If the same Rick turns up that appeared last time, that belt will be going home with Beltran.

No pressure Billy !

[JimJim2009]

Billy if Ricky loses will you get fired ?

[daviddee]

Beltran is good but can't see how Ricky can lose to him.. I think this is another test to show he belongs at World Level.. Can Beltran win? Yes if he has been looked beyond.. Ricky should!! Be better in every department. I don't understand why everyone always goes on about Billy getting fired and Ricky looking for a new coach.. Billy may well wind people up the wrong way but he is 100% the right man for Ricky Burns.. He has got an average British level fighter through hard work and sheer dedication to become a world class operator.. Ricky will win then hopefully we will see the unification fights :)

[expe]

Beltran's sparring with Pacquiao won't help him one bit, in fact it will probably be a hindrance. Pacquiao is a 5'6" southpaw and Burns is 5'10", has a longer reach and boxes out of the orthodox stance with a different style. Sparring with someone like Pacquiao, it's difficult to really stand and trade and like most sparring partners, come fight night, I'd expect him to offer very little once he's backed up onto the ropes, he will most likely go into a shell and cover up without offering much back.

[geoffburt07]

Trust me ricky is not 5f 10. Boxrec and other sites have him at 5f 10 but he's defo smaller than that mate.

[sgtcecil]

Paul Appleby returns to the ring aswell. Either 4x3s or 6x3s at light welter

Take it Paul is not with Frank anymore? Is he a Morrison fighter?
