Little Borat about to get jobbed in the UK like Rau'Shee Warren...and OMG Burnnett a 'Unified' champion... is this real life? dat UK market tho.

Should be a good test for Burnett. I hope that whoever wins will also take on the IBF mandatory challenger, Manny Rodriguez, rather than vacating it and sticking with the WBA

[BigZ44]

Interesting, this should be a good fight

[Chrismart]

Could be a good fight that.
I like Burnett, it would be nice to see him unify. The winner to face Tete (politics a-side) would be cool.

Hearn also has Butler and McDonnell at the weight so I suspect he'll keep things in-house as much as possible

Ah i'd forgot about Butler. Some decent domestic fights to be made there :ANYWORD:

Surely the WBA will force the winner to fight whoever comes out on top in McDonnell/Solas II!

Think Hearn wants to make the winner of that fight the winner of Butler/Hall first

Burnett probably loses this, Tete beats them all either way...no one wants any part of him.
