Burns has looked shop-worn for awhile, he needs to go back a few fights and find the sharpness he had against Kevin Mitchell if he's going to prevail tonight, but that's four years ago now...

It should be a hard old night tonight. If he does a job on Di Rocco then that's a statement. A points win I think. Should be a good fight.

Burns close loss to Omar Figueroa Jr was only a year ago and Figueroa is better than Di Rocco.

Burns should win this.
I agree. I don't think it will be an easy night though.
I don't think Ricky has looked as if he wants it enough in recent years. When he fought Martinez he was hungry- he would have done anything that night. After that he diminished, showed tremendous bravery against Beltran but was beaten. He was never ever the most talented fighter about so he has to be 100% hungry to be at his best.

First two fights were very decent
Seen Ball fight on the Cacace/Clark card and was very impressed,he was the star of the show, undercard-wise
Di Rocco is levels below OFJ. And this is in Britain. Burns will win a decision even if it's remotely close. DIRicco isn't good enough to win as wide as he needs to.
