I agree with those who say this fight doesn't make much sense, but y'know what, heavily-unfancied outsiders getting a shot, there's a certain romance to that (sometimes, not when it's just bums getting knocked out).

Walsh isn't a bum, he's just been given a shot above his level. I don't find it that much sillier than some of the fights our lads have landed in the States over the last year or two.

Good luck to Walsh. It's 99% likely he'll lose, but if Burns' promoters couldn't make the fights they wanted then a bout like this does no harm, it just doesn't prove much.

Burns by early stoppage.
