Lightweight is my guess and it's an Al Haymon fighter.

I reckon its John Molina.He's lost his last couple at Light welter and lost against Soto for a vacant ranking belt.That fight was also in Vegas aswell.Maybe Anthony Peterson but I'm sure he's moved up now.

Molina would be such a risk, I think Burns would get beat.LancashireLoyal wrote:I reckon its John Molina.He's lost his last couple at Light welter and lost against Soto for a vacant ranking belt.That fight was also in Vegas aswell.Maybe Anthony Peterson but I'm sure he's moved up now.

In atlantic city. Him and his team bottled it. Gavin rees got the shot instead. Broner was an animal at 135, unbeatable imo.G0mez wrote:Didn't he get offered telephone numbers to fight Broner in Vegas once ?

I thought he got an offer at 130, then vacated - then did the same at 135 for a unification?
This is why it's imperative to make fights when they are red hot, such as Fury vs Price etc - because nobody cares when one is derailed.
And usually when they derail, its a fight they are expected to win and for a fraction of the money.

I just wonder if it might be Denis Shafikov? He is still rated highly and is boxing in Vegas this weekend.

I'd think Shafikov would absolutely batter Ricky tbh.David McAllister wrote:I just wonder if it might be Denis Shafikov? He is still rated highly and is boxing in Vegas this weekend.

Haymon doesn't handle the sort of opponent you'd put Ricky in with if you were rebuilding him in this country.

Broner was mandatory at super feather, they moved up, then they were offered it at 6-7 weeks notice at lightweight, turned it down, Rees took the shot instead.G0mez wrote:rio wrote:In atlantic city.

& Broner's always been Broner, his defence has always been flawed & exploitable & his lack of experience just as marked; it's just below welter he was probably fifteen pounds heavier than the poor bastards he was being fed (& in the case of Escobedo, he didn't even bother to make the weight at the weigh-in nor the rearranged "safety" check weigh-in, so fvck-knows how many pounds he had on Vicente. The pudendum).
I personally think a properly great lightweight would fvck him up no matter how much he outweighed them by, & if they levelled the playing field & he had to actually make 9st 9lbs properly, he'd do fvck-all & keel over after a few rounds versus someone proper.

Imagine what 135lb Mosley would have done to him, or Corrales, or Castillo, or Stevie Johnston. Believed his own hype too much.

Crawford would outbox him so badly you would actually see broner's brain fart
