whats with all the crap for hosea burton

Post by jamamb »

fighting 10-8-2 boxrec #469 saidou sall (for reference the criticized 27-3-1 dariusz sek is #57, even higher then burton)

over the last few years its been all guys like this except when buglioni kod him. was pretty much all like that b4 too although he did fight fringe english level shinkwin and english level smw smyle

burtons won at english level before , couldnt he at least fight someone like ricky summers or the international equivalent

Don't think he has a promoter? Think that has been behind his poor opponents, gets chucked on the odd Matchroom bill in Manchester against a cheap low level opponent. He could do with the Buglioni rematch.

Has he been offered anything? Yarde should have fought someone like Burton by now.

So many domestic divisions are stagnant like the light heavyweight division.

Fight each other!

His younger brother Zac made his debut on the Fury bill, he was a really good amateur although has had a few years away from boxing, worth keeping an eye on

If Buatsi beats Summers convincingly then Burton would be a good step up after that.

He's been on plenty of Matchroom bills and works with Joe Gallagher so you'd expect him to be looked after fairly well. Probably just always seen as more of an undercard filler for the Manchester shows topped by Crolla and Quigg. They seemed to have dried up now though so Burton is an afterthought for Eddie.

all hes done since this thread was made last year was fight the boxrec #745 (no in last 5 years) and the boxrec #845 (1 win in last 4 years)

so still more utter garbage opposition for hos since his ko loss to bugs. now weighing up near 190

wuts the story

Clearly hasn’t got backing - decent opponents require decent pay.
