Official boxrec RBR thread - Leeds bill 4th October

Eddie looks very worried at ringside.

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

On the undercard Audley Harrison vs Kimbo slice lol

If Audley vs Kimbo was a PPV show, on the night I would honestly buy it ! Has Kimbo fought since he had that win down under ? He is a knock out waiting to happen

[chiggsy]

Alex arthur just basically said burns looks fat

Honestly mate, as a purist I should hate that fight, but I can honestly say I would love to see it Audley v Kimbo haha.

I would watch that card!

Haha eddie was talking about that in one of his recent IFL interviews if you havent seen it. It was more kugan egging him on but it seemed like he wasnt completely against the idea.

Burns looks like an old man making a comeback, like a club fighter, I'm sorry he has money troubles but isn't it just the way? Fighters are good at fighting, they are not businessmen, and they are not valued enough for any official govt body to take up their cause.

[ProMayhem]

Burns doesn't look good at all

[milpool]

I fvcking hate football chants during boxing matches!

Seconded.

[lefty]

At this stage it would probably be pointless but anyone think maybe Burns should ditch Sim's (who i personally dont really rate) and join Gallagher?

[ShadrachSimmo]

He's not far wrong.

[Baboon]

Frankly this fight is boring the pants off me. What the hell is Sims doing with Burns in the gym, he looks clueless and isnt using his legs at all.

That's the thing though, he's only 31. He's fighting more like he's about 40.

Well avoid Leeds at all costs then.

[JimJim2009]

On this form he would not win a round against Crolla, it would be 12 rounds to nil.

Burns has got the same strength and conditioning coach as Bellew.

[Horse]

Why did Burns leave Billy Nelson?

[lefty]

Why did Burns leave Billy Nelson?

Because he lost and it's easy to blame the trainer lol

[Boxing Prospect]

Did Nick Halling just say the referee's in charge? Does that mean the judges are in charge of scoring and he'll stop sounding like a jilted ex over last week?

[ttornado]

Hopkins would top himself if he came in this shape.

Exactly. Burns seems perfectly content to macho it out when there is no need to.

Ricky has reacted very poorly to his recent poor form in my opinion.

I've lost a lot of respect for him.

I wonder how much longer Hopkins can go on for. A perverse part of me would like to see him go as long as possibly can. Maybe hit 55? Na, I dont think there's a hope in hell of that haha.

[Sklar]

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.

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

[JimJim2009]

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
