Ricky Burns signs with Hearn & Matchroom Boxing; fights May 11th

[Weebler I]

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

Not necessarily. You have champions who are willing to travel such as Miguel Vasquez and Richard Abril. I would expect a big-name opponent in September.

Think it's safe to wave goodbye to the Broner fight now?

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Burns loses to Abril and Vazquez. I have no idea where he goes from here. He needed that Broner fight (which he also wouldve lost) now it's gone.

Probably, at least for 2013, unless Broner is willing to move back down as well as travel which seems unlikely.

You never know though, after Malignaggi GBP might come through with a big money offer for Burns to fight in Vegas in September.

Eddie Hearn on Sky Sports just now, saying Broner next would be fine.

One good fight to get him back in the ring, then a mega unification fight.

The question is will Broner move back down to 135? I don't think so.

140? I think is possible.

135? I find it unlikely.

Would be great if he did though. Beat Malignaggi, move back down to 135 and finish business there. Then 140.

I think Burns will be willing to travel to make that fight.

I just don't see Broner returning to 135 after moving to 147.

Unfortunetly, I think you're correct.

I believe he would beat Ricky pretty easily, but it's a fight with a lot of obstacles; money and location being the main one's. Why move back to 135 for a fight that may not be possible?

It's a situation where I think both guys will feel they should be the home fighter, and in turn I think neither will travel. In all truth, based on money and fan interest, I don't think Burns should travel for the fight.

Bollocks was hoping Burns might fight on the undercard of the Froch fight.
