[jonnyP]

early ko for martinez imo

[Dunky McCafferty]

I have got a gut feeling this fight wont even take place.

I mean their fights supposed to be taking place in 4 weeks, & theres been virtually nothing confirmed- venue, date... anything.

[Dan684]

I'm rooting BIG TIME for Burns as I really like the way he's gone about things. This isn't easy but he has an excellent chance. Cook was outboxing Martinez until he got levelled. Good luck Ricky/Billy :good

[zico2010]

Anybody know if there will be any way of watching it? Will it be on UK telly or on TV anywhere else in the world so that a copy can be got after the fight?

If your not happy with that then Froch vs Taylor in April - was only available via stream live and Witter vs Alexander in August was shown by ESPN, but it wasn't live, same for Woods as well if I remember correctly:tong

Like the pic mate. Can't help but think of some of the fights he could've been involved in further on in his career if he'd screwed the head. A bloody waste. But an old argument.

Was thinking that myself... it's all gone very quiet... Billy??

[robpalmer135]

woods vs cloud was also only avalible on internet stream.

i keep in seeing the petitions on here for more boxing on tv. they are pointless. the petition should be for world title fights involving a british fighter to be on the level b protected sports list. that would mean at least a full replay would need to be shown on terrestrial tv at least a week after the fight.

tbh it will be difficult to even get a steam from puerto rico.

what's stopping them showing it now?

[Mazallan]

Hopefully Burns brings another world title home to Britain.

That's one more fight on these shores than Craig McEwan's had.

Jeez sad to see Burns lose before he gets a title crack.

[BoroBoxing1]

Seems like a long long time ago when Ricky Burns was last in the ring it cant be good for the lad, Hope he wins although it will be very tough going into the the other mans backyard, I think Burns as always fort on home soil so lets see how he gets on....

Martinez TKO 8

Strange, but I never liked the idea of Ricky going over to Porto Rico to fight. Hopefully he will have no problem with Sykes and can go on to bigger things from there.

wtf?

[micky]

Looks as if its off then - gan Billy clarify as I was really looking forward to this fight.

Has the chance gone for good or is it just postponed for a few months?

[HMSTempleGarden]

Burns won't stop Martinez and he is going to find it hard getting a decision over there.

Martinez though has the power to stop Ricky.

I will be going to that...:good

[Beeston Brawler]

I don't see the big deal about fighting abroad.

Even if he loses, it will be a great experience, something he could learn from and use to further his career.

That said, I have my reservations about Burns as a 'world class' fighter. I like the lad and think he has done great to rebound from the loss to Johanneson, but let's not kid ourselves, he isn't worthy of such a high ranking from the WBO (I don't recognise it btw) - a rating in the lower end of the top 15 might be more accurate based upon the string of wins he has put together.

Good luck, I hope to be eating crow :good

You going to Sykes v Burns Beeston...:think

[Beeston Brawler]

Depending on who is on the card..... if it's a decent bill I'll go :good

Did Matchroom win the purse bids...?...:think

Ideal location and venue for some Manchester and Yorkshire prospects to feature...:yep

PM nearer the time when the card is announced...:good

[Beeston Brawler]

I've no idea who won the purse bids to be honest.... nor do I know who he (Sykes) is tied to promotionally.

For some reason I felt he was a VIP/Maloney fighter.....

Who do you think might be on the card, and who do you think are the best local prospects in, say West Yorkshire?

I liked the look of Tyrone Nurse when I saw him against Baz Carey but some shit matchmaking has held him back.

Yeah will PM you in the next couple of weeks or when the tickets go on sale :good

[ScouseLad]

Speaking of Yorkshire prospects. Anyone know whatever happened to Nicky Smedley? Thought he was meant to be alright but hasnt fought for 2 years.

I know a lad thats mates with him but oddly enough havent seen him for about as long as Smedley hasnt been fighting.

I think that Sykes is with Maloney... He has been brought on at a nice pace into the pro's and I think will do exceptionally well. He lives the life and looks after himself, he will get a European belt at the least I think...:yep

Johannsen should have cleaned up, I know a mixed dedication to his training has let him down, if he would have trained 100% for the Mitchell fight he would have KO'd him...:yep

[Beeston Brawler]

His stamina and slow start cost him.

Once he got revved up fully he had Mitchell in all sorts of trouble, then just as quickly he gassed and was taken out.

Interesting point by Mitchell made during the Q & A on here was that he felt Carl was a harder puncher than Prescott, and according to Jeff, Gomez said exactly the same.

It's just a shame he was seemingly frightened to death of Kirakosyan :-(

[NO MAS]

Carl has a punch like the kick off a horse... He sparred Gomez years ago in Louvalite in Hyde and gave him a right session.

Gomez did his nut...:nut shouting and balling, Arnie posts on here, he was there sparring with Matthew Hatton the same day...he can verify this.

I think it all stems from when Kirokosyan KO'd him in the USA in a round on ESPN, I wonder if he ever got over that...:think Some people just have your number no matter how many times you fight them...:yep

[Beeston Brawler]

:lol:

How long ago was it..... when Gomez was being touted?

[NO MAS]

About 2003/4

[Beeston Brawler]

I wonder when Carl will be out (by that I mean in the ring) next..... hopefully looking at a British title shot in the fight after that.

Looks like he will be on course to fight Sykes or Burns after they fight I think...:think

I can't split Sykes or Burns at the moment both are so much improved, but what I do know is that whoever wins Johannsen will beat if he trains right...:yep

The only reason I say that is because both Sykes and Burns will be in great condition but they will not live with Carls power IMO...:yep

[Tony Bellew]

Some people just have your number no matter how many times you fight them...:yep


This is spot on..

Back to the subject and Ricky is gonna beat Martinez Im pretty sure of that now..:good

Ricky could live with Carl's power last time though, he just fought the completely wrong fight, almost as if he froze. He took the headshots alright, even the knockdown from the head shot he cought Ricky slightly off balance, not saying it wasn't a knock down because Burns definetly was hurt, but he took bigger head shots that night without going down.
I've watched the fight several times and you can see that in brief periods when Ricky got his jab going, he had Carl confused as he moved from side to side but this would stop when Ricky went straight back to standing with him.
It was also an extremely small ring that night, not that made that much difference because I think Ricky would have got beat no matter what size it was if he put on that sort of performance.

I reckon Rickster could get his revenge if they fight again, we don't know how much Carl has left either.

I agree it with you it will not be a given as I have said at the end of what I wrote "Johannsen will win if he trains right"...:think

Training right is a critical factor for Carl Johannsen.

If Ricky shows the vast improvements that he has made he can give Carl a right nights graft.

If Carl don't train right he will give himself a right nights graft and could get beat and that takes nothing away from Ricky Burns...:yep

I think it was the Johannsen fight that made Ricky assess his performance against his potential and he has responded in the best way he could have...:good


I wish Ricky well and I hope that re-match can be made...it will be a barnburner...:bbb :bbb :bbb

Nice one Tony... Arnie will confirm my point on that Johannsen v Gomez spar at Louvalite... Johannsen bounced Gomez in his own gym and he went nuts...:nut
