After reading the piece posted by Boxrec News - I seriously hope he doesn't hold any bitterness over Gary Lockett's decision to pull him out resulting in him leaving Lockett. Lockett did the right thing.

I would say the obvious choice will be Burns.

What piece is this? I must have missed it.

He would be stupid to leave Lockett for that reason, In my opinion the timing was perfect. There was no reason for him to continue.

I read Lockett wanted to pull Rees out after the third round.

As much as Rees showed a big heart and lots of tenacity , the bottom line is he took a beating ( albeit off a potentially great fighter). How does taking a beating earn him a shot at burns if indeed burns beats Vasquez .the gulf at the moment between Rees and burns is huge and if burns beats Vasquez it wil be even bigger!

I agree. Rees has to pick up some wins before a fight against Burns is credible.

In what sense is Matchrooms Gavin Rees fighting Warrens Ricky Burns the obvious choice? It strikes me as exactly the opposite.
