Why did Burns leave Billy Nelson?

Burns has made some terrible choices. It's a shame because he's a nice guy. His career has been ruined in a little over a year.

A lot of them were made for him, Alex Morrison seemed to guide away from Billy Nelson, then Eddie Hearn pushed him towards Sims, even the move to Matchroom didn't really seem like his choice, he just went with what his team said.

[lefty]

Sky are setting a new record here for managing to do anything except say Ricky was shi te

"wasn't vintage"

"sluggish"

"not at his best"

ffs call it as it is you tossers

Haha. I was just watching Tony Sim's in the ring at the end there. He always looks semi brain dead to me.

[Horse]

I think Eddie had a fair bit of influence on that decision.

Why would Hearn want to ruin Burns' career?

Why did Burns leave Billy Nelson?

When Ricky left Fwank he cut all ties. When he found out Billy was still subscribing to B ox Nation he threw a hissy fit. Tony Sims reckons he has never seen B ox Nation ever and that sealed it

What did Hearn say about Katsidis?

[lefty]

Luke saying Ricky looked like absolute shite but being as polite as he can in saying that.

[lefty]

What did Hearn say about Katsidis?

He was saying he could fight him again.

[Horse]

He was saying he could fight him again.

Shocking!

[ttornado]

Done his weight properly!

[milpool]

Ricky just said he'd worked with a dietician for this fight...was it Russell Grant's dietician?

And what is going on with Eddie's quiff tonight...?

Sims is his mate, his wife and Sims daughter are in business together, cue a load of matchroom fighters heading to his gym. Ricky needs to get as far away from them as possible, back to Glasgow, whether with Billy Nelson or not and back to basics, if he has to go on. I'd rather see him retire than turn into a stepping stone for fighters who wouldn't have had a chance against him when he was at his best.

[Horse]

I don't like what Campbell's saying.

[JimJim2009]

He was saying he could fight him again.

Shocking!

There's a few former opponents capable of reversing their losses to Ricky. You'd have to give Kevin Mitchell a decent chance at lightweight.

He's losing his hair innit.

I think Mitchell could reverse the KO now

True but its premature to play the "back with Billy Nelson and going back to my roots" card until Ricky has lost a few more fights. Timing is everything

If not Nelson, what about Gallagher? Obviously you've have to forget the Crolla fight.

It was, have you heard of Dr. Dairy Milk?

[reggaereggae]

Eddie looks very worried at ringside.

he should make burns vs Harrison while its still remotely viable as an attraction in scotland

Yup and he'll put it on PPV

He's got some freaky eyes on him the Italian.

[lefty]

Mental atmosphere.

[Counter-puncher]

Also though, to a large extent, I think he overachieved.

there it is
