Could be a chance for Frampton to fight in Belfast again. Who is putting on the show?

[straali]

Surely would be an unfair distraction from an excellent title fight to put Frampton on as well?

[Andrew]

Excellent fight.

Personally I think Burnett should be p4p top 5 in Britian if he wins this WELL.

ZZ will bring it, and should Burnett come through then the McDonnell fight has to happen.

[pimp]

Quality fight this, who trains ZZ seems to of disappeared of the radar for a while

[gilgamesh]

I like Burnett to win a hard fought decision here. Should be a fun scrap.

[Sam98]

Burnett on points

Before the Haskins fight Eddie Hearn was saying that Burnett has sparred a lot with Zhakiyanov and was happy with the pressure and straight lines he brings and seems confident he can handle it. Burnett wanted ZZ first of all but the Haskins fight presented itself instead.

[PredatorHayds]

Burnett will be a bit too slick here.

ZZ good pressure fighter but walks in straight lines.

Burnett points.

[crusader]

ZZ seems like a guy who Burnett should outbox. Expecting him to be more competitive than Haskins was though!

Burnett looks like a shrunken version of Hosea Burton

[Oiky]

Should be a nice points win for Burnett

Eddie was saying how disgusting it was that some fighters have to wait up to a year to get paid and said if you look at companies house what a bad state many of the promoters finances are in.
Was he referring to Cyclone Promotions, as he had just been asked about Frampton, or someone else?
For all of Matchrooms knockers, they have always treated the fighters well.

[jameswilson]

Could have been hinting at a reason why things went frosty between Frampton and Cyclone. Definitely waiting a year to be paid a purse would put a strain on things. Obviously it's just hear say tho.

[paniam]

Anyone notice the scar on Burnetts forehead?

I've never noticed it before if it's an old injury. Can't remember him getting cut in the Haskins fight.

On a side note anyone know what's happening with Haskins? Has he retired?

Your memories not very good then

He got a horrible cut in the Haskins fight as seen in the post fight video below

Yeah he was fairly getting stuck into someone without naming them.

Didn't O'Hara tweet something about money a few weeks back ?

[jameswilson]

Can't remember him getting cut in the Haskins fight.

There was blood everywhere in that fight.


In the same way there are crisps everywhere when Scott Harrison is about!

[brilo33]

Burnett looks a top fighter for me.he will win this with some class aswell
