Wow.

Hearn's stable is looking more and more impressive.

I can't help but laugh at the situation Frank Warren now finds himself in but he seems pretty sure that the Burns-Vasquez fight will still go ahead. How that's possible I don't know.

I saw this coming. Good move for Ricky.

If Broner does return to 135 (Unlikely now) this fight can be made. Shame he didn't move earlier and it would have been made already.

Eddie Hearn pretty much controls UK Boxing at this point.

Yup.

Looks like they'll be annoucing another signing on Wednesday too.

next two fights are in Scotland.

Good move for Burns. He's got great support up in Scotland and im sure Hearns will put on some good nights up there.

Warren must hate Hearns even more these days

Good move for Ricky but its no given that Hearn will deliver.

Eddies sjow on Saturday was pretty poor. 3 British fighters all in easy fights against bums. I thought it was Warren that does shows like that. Flick over to box nation and we got 2 competative fights.

So Burns is 30 and will continue to fight domestic level...? Well, there goes that.

Good move.

He'll sell out both fights here, doing it on Sky will allow him to build his name a bit more.
