Burns to fight in London in December

[IamInuit]

If anyone deserves a cruise fight its Burns. Dude is an over achiever and has worked his ass off the last couple of years. Nothing in it for Ricky to fight Harrison. I'd bet it doesn't even matter in Scotland. No way does the Walsh team consider this fight at present.

Mitchell took the place of Broner as his mandatory who no doubt was already in negotiations with Demarco. In a sense Burns escaped Broner once again because Demarco holds the WBC and is a stablemate. Ricky most likely escapes a Broner fight altogether because I don't believe he will be staying at 135 after Demarco.

At the end of the day Burns does not need to fight anyone in the top 15. He has earned that.

Even Warren has said Harrison needs a few more fights before being considered for a shot at the title.

Cant see it being Walsh, he's a novice by comparison. It will more than likely be an African we have barely heard of or a European. Doubt it will be a high risk fight when there are big plans for 2013. Also with The other fighters on the card it's going to sell out anyway so no need to bring in an opponent that's going to cause an upset and take a big pay day.

If Mitchell has a say he should be on the undercard.

That's a good shout, I didn't think of him but I have a feeling that Warren might want to move Mitchell towards Rees. When he's fit he can cause problems for many a fighter.

Burns should fight Murray but you are right it may not be a big name. I am a fan of Ricky now and if Broner stays or even makes weight then Ricky should target him and the other belts, he is good enough to win and unify some of the belt.
