Wow, so Burns gets fed a cupcake at home for an alphabet belt and his "mandatory" is a guy ranked 223rd by boxrec at 140lbs because he hasn't fought anybody. Burns can keep this belt a long time

Relikh is one of the Hatton stable's hottest prospects. I can tell you he's quite good and Ricky will have to be at his best to deal with this guy. I'd say he's got decent skills, fast hands and can **** a bit on both wings. He's got a very ****y style and I look forward to seeing how Ricky's going to handle it.
