I like that fight. Slowey is counter punching southpaw and McCulloch will walk forward all night and let bombs go. Should be good.

David Brophy v Jason Ball. Another decent fight as Ball will come to win.

Just because there's certain belts on the line doesn't mean they will be good fights. Hearn usually matches well and I know Morrison isn't scared to put his boys in with good guys but like most, I wouldn't buy tickets without knowing the line up.
I think the line up of home fighters is decent enough value for £40 , plus getting to see Luke Campbell and Scott Cardle aswell ,as these guys wont be fighting reguarly up here. Its all down to opnions of course, but 3/4 title fights over the championship distance is good value, while the opponents might not be public knowledge or even up on Box rec im sure there will be some decent ones in there ...
Decent enough Alba?
Compare the quality on show,venue and value for money compared to certain other shows lately and you'll surely come to the same conclusion as me

Undercard will be considered dross to the casual Sky fan. Can see a fair few tuning in at 10pm or so just to see the main event.

It's not and it isn't a great card, but that place is full of the old ESB lot, you've got people saying that a prime Scott Harrison would take out Ricky Burns in 3 rounds :doh: And that pudendum Rob Palmer's there as well, good reason to avoid it, comes out with some of the most ridiculous claims ever. Always used to say that before a PPV he'd have 50-60 people asking him whether to buy it, just looked at his twitter and he appears to have no friends, all his tweets are to Eddie Hearn, Dave Coldwell, Spencer Fearon, Steve Lillis and Dean Powell.

John Simpson off the undercard now. Weakest undercard since the new Sky format?

Aye exactly, a Prime Scott Harrison would destroy a hard working, nicey nicey Ricky Burns. You are better being lucky than good in this sport.

Beltran is legit and a proper throwback.

I forecast a long difficult night for Ricky and this result is by no means assured.

Bookies have Burns a 2/9 favorite whereas Beltran is a ridiculous 10/3 outsider.

If Rick brings his A-game, plus the fantastic crowd behind him, he should dominate.

If the same Rick turns up that appeared last time, that belt will be going home with Beltran.

No pressure Billy !

Beltran is good but can't see how Ricky can lose to him.. I think this is another test to show he belongs at World Level.. Can Beltran win? Yes if he has been looked beyond.. Ricky should!! Be better in every department. I don't understand why everyone always goes on about Billy getting fired and Ricky looking for a new coach.. Billy may well wind people up the wrong way but he is 100% the right man for Ricky Burns.. He has got an average British level fighter through hard work and sheer dedication to become a world class operator.. Ricky will win then hopefully we will see the unification fights :)

Beltran's sparring with Pacquiao won't help him one bit, in fact it will probably be a hindrance. Pacquiao is a 5'6" southpaw and Burns is 5'10", has a longer reach and boxes out of the orthodox stance with a different style. Sparring with someone like Pacquiao, it's difficult to really stand and trade and like most sparring partners, come fight night, I'd expect him to offer very little once he's backed up onto the ropes, he will most likely go into a shell and cover up without offering much back.
