Burton and shinkwin contest the British light heavyweight on the Frampton and Quigg undercard. Both undefeated and both very talented but who wins?

Good match up. Surprised it's for the British title, what happened to Ajisafe?

Seen more of Shinkwin than Burton I slightly favour him here.

Warren won the purse bids for Ajisafe-Shinkwin, Ajisafe then vacated as he claims to have cleaned up domestically and is looking beyond that level. He's now fighting Mirco Ricci for the EU title in Italy on March 12th for less than £5k after it went to purse bids.

shinkwin without a doubt. i have seen both live a couple of times, to be honest i found burton to be dire, poor jab and the much talked about power was simply not there. i may be wrong but my gut says shinkwin, easily!!

I don't think Burton has lost a round in his pro career, I think a fighter who tries to engage and attack him will suit him and give him chance to show his power

I'm surprised Burton isn't getting himself on some Fury shows.

i agree, what I've seen of Shinkwin he looks to be the more naturally talented but Burtons size might cause him problems.

I thought Burton was the new Tommy Hearns according to Gallagher

Interesting fight.

Burton hasn't looked as good as he was hyped to be, but he did score a first round stoppage of his best opponent, and perhaps facing an unbeaten guy like Shinkwin will bring out the best in him.

They're both good fighters. It's a good match.

Same level, neither has been tested ....let's see how good both of them are.


I'm going and will be in early so hopefully it's good.

its a very good fight to be fair,ive gone with Shinkwin slightly as I think his all round game has really improved lately.I keep being told Burton is the next big thing but Im yet to see it myself yet.Cue a Hosea Burton 1 round job...

may the best man win and both fighters stay healthy!
