Comments Thread For: UK Insider: Burns Cuts Trainer, Mitchell-Maduma, Cleverly

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Dagenham lightweight Kevin Mitchell had hoped to be boxing Miguel Vazquez for the IBF lightweight title on the Froch-Groves II undercard at Wembley on 31 May, but it seems that the Mexican will not be ready in time. The Mexican was badly cut in his last defence against Dennis Shafikov in February, and the cut is taking a longer than expected time to heal.

Instead, Mitchell will still be on the Wembley bill, but now fighting in an IBF eliminator. This is potentially still good news for the East Londoner. Assuming he comes through the eliminator, Mitchell will become the mandatory, and Vazquez will have to defend against him within a specified amount of time. Without the eliminator, he would have been a voluntary defence, and all kinds of options would come into play. If he wins, therefore, he will be in a much stronger overall bargaining position.

Burns stuck with this trainer for a long time so why shouldn't he change things up a bit, that chin and his confidence on taking a shot is a bit worrying though.

Same Burns that fought Roman Martinez would of beat Terence.

Not surprised, am waiting for Cotto to jumped the Roach ship after he gets KO'ed by Martinez.

Genuinely surprised. Billy got the best out of Ricky.

Reminds me of Hatton leaving Billy Graham, thinking another trainer would improve him when the reality is he was on the slide.

Or change weight class.

the thing with burns is he dont realy have a plan b when the jab doesnt come off he's too upright and does little inside, he needs handspeed and a short inside game without loading up too much, thing is if he goes up in wait his chin wont hold up.
