Matchroom confirm Burns v crawford in feb 14

[rio]

Based on burns and crawfords last couple of performances, crawford takes this via wide ud

[expe]

And the hype begins

"Crawford has more boxing and athletic ability in his left nut than Mitchell, Martinez and Katsidis have in their entire bodies"

[mickey1975]

Based on burns and crawfords last couple of performances, crawford takes this via wide ud

Going on Burns last performance, he wins, wide ud... Regardless of how Crawford boxes!

How on earth mate can you judge someones performance when they sustained a broken jaw in the 2nd round

[daviddee]

In honesty Ricky seems to box better when he is the underdog. He is going to be in this fight. A fighter learns after every fight and I'm sure Ricky would of learned a lot from the last 2. Hype or no Hype with Crawford he is very good at everything but this is a step up for him and we will see if he is at this level. I think we will see the best ever Ricky Burns and that's all he can do win, lose or draw guaranteed he will give it his all

[davie]

possible undercard? id like


simmons v someone he is almost certain to beat
ryder v someone he is almost certain to beat
cardle v someone he is almost certain to beat
simpson v someone he is almost certain to beat
clark v someone he is almost certain to beat
Cornish v someone he is almost certain to beat

Sounds more like a hearns undercard to me

It was a joke, Billy. And the judges didn't know that when they were scoring it and even if they did it shouldn't affect their scoring. I actually have a lot of respect for Ricky. I was there at his last loss and am amazed at what he's gone on to achieve.

[jackukmma]

I don't even think Burns has been back sparring since the jaw surgery from what I have read. This fight may not even happen.

Really really worrying for me that. Fights just over 10 weeks away. He's had no sparring since The surgery and implant, we don't know how he will react or cope with being hit, it's not ideal and all sounds a bit rushed

Not at all mate, under no circumstances will Ricky be rushed, he's getting himself very fit just now and we will start sparring when we feel we need to.

I've read it's either the 8th or 22nd of Feb. Hearns tweet says date to be confirmed - the 14th is a Friday by the way.

Good opportunity for Ricky to make a statement here with some American interest. Tough fight though.

I thought this aswell, im sure hearn was in the press last week saying feb 8th at the Hydro had been booked, i am assuming that would be stuck to. The Hydro has events on the 1st and the 22nd which are Saturdays so it would leave the 8th, 15th of feb or first of march -but im sure it has be fought before the end of feb

Also i see Burns has added a strength and conditioning coach to his team,

Well you assume wrong the fight will be set to suit Ricky after all he is the title holder

Cornish will certainly not be on this he is a allegedly fighter. As for Clark only way I can see Hearn putting him on is against one of his fighters. No way that's happening or maybe against one of Morrisons but if you look at who .. Ryan Collins, it's a bit too early for him to step up against Ronnie so rightly I don't think this would happen. Michael Roberts Jnr?? A lot of Scottish fight fans want to see this one including me. We knew this fight won't happen and that's a real shame. So that only leaves John Simpson, I think both fighters would take this in a heart beat. But from a fighter point of view.. John can't really afford another loss on his record a defeat against Ronnie would ultimately end his career. I would think risk to reward is too high for John.. I think Hearn should push for Simpson v Warrington for British and Commenwealth titles at featherweight. As for Ronnie again why fight Simpson when you have a title eliminator against John Kay's again risk to reward for Ronnie would be very low.. Will Hearn bid for the purse on this one? I doubt it. I think Hearn is more interested in money and not building boxing in Scotland. Only chance of this being on TV is if Warren bids to put it on the Undercard of Sykes v Walsh. I expect the winning bid to be either Gilmour or Wood

Warrrington v simpson cudnt happen for british on this show as selby is defending it against munroe and fighting for vacant european title. Will b interesting to see wat weight simpson fights at feath or super. I expect ronnie v kays to b on undercard of walsh sykes with wood winning the purse bid and a deal with fw.

Jose Gonzalez would be a good sparring partner to prepare Ricky for Crawford if you could persuade him to come over Billy. Both slick counter punching, switch hitters with punching power.

I thought Selby v Munroe was just European title.. Could of just been for the commonwealth. We will see when the purse bids go on mate. Would be a good fight to show and builds up the Super Feather domestic scene

Yeah defo on the line. Think simpson wud want at least a british shot. Regards to purse bids will b interesting to see who it comes off for. Ste wood is really flying at the moment and backing his fighters from vip. Think the notices will b up soon. Looking forward to seeing them.

I hope so Billy. I'd honestly rather than see him vacate than rush into a fight he's not ready for. It's a serious injury he's got and nobody would blame him for preparing properly for it however long that takes

Walsh-Sykes is set for the York Hall, so I can't see any point in putting Kays-Clark on the undercard down there, would do a lot better up in the North West or in Scotland.

[Jakemilo]

What about slowey v Warrington on the undercard for commonwealth ,I think Simpson will fight at sf next

[thatllbeme]

matchroom recently did a show that had 1 matchroom fighter the rest was people from other promotions so the fights can be made

Was that not the one with Warrington opening, Lucas Browne-Richard Towers and Luke Campbell?

Towers and Browne are with Hatton. The rest are with the likes of Wood and Coldwell, so while they're with other promoters, they don't have TV deals, so they're happy for the fighters to be on Matchroom shows. They don't work with Warren though, unless purse bids and mandatories are involved.

[JamieM]
