    Thats all i needed to know. He was unknown till Broner attached name so just accept it. If they fought Burns would jump at chance to cone across pond cause this is where fighters make their name.

      No doubt, any European fighter should aim to make their name in the States for the money and recognition. It's also good coz that way the real "fans" out there like you get to know about them if they make it onto HBO or Showtime too lol

        I agree with him that without Broner name attached to Burns no one would know or care who he is. Im a boxing fan and ive never seen him fight orheard anything about him till Broner wanted to fight him.
        Not very informed then. Burns draws around 10,000 to watch him. Broner about half that.

        If you're American it's natural you would have heard more about AB, and vice versa if you're from the UK (pre-Rees anyway).

          On topic, Hearn is talking about Burns fighting Vasquez, Broner or Abril in September.

          He obviously has to beat Gonzalez first however, by all accounts he is a big puncher.

            Broner is done at 135. If Burns beats Gonzalez he should fight Vazquez

              Burns had his chances to get the Broner fight and never took them. So he should feel free to keep Broner's name out of his mouth from now on.

                Gonzalez' career stats look good but he's fought nobody that's anywhere near world class. Doesn't mean the Puerto Rican can't cut it in top company, of course, but it doesn't mean he can either and I'll be much surprised if the ever improving Burns fails to handle this guy in style.

                  First I ever heard of Burns was when he gave Rocky Martinez a fight of the year and took his belt. Up your boxing knowledge.

                    You are proving you are a fan boy of Network fighters. If you are a real fan, you probably would know he won a title at 130 against Martinez and beat Katsidis and Mitchell recently. Keep watching HBO and Showtime boxing and stop calling yourself fan of the sport, fanboy.
