Was Kevin Mitchell not the WBO no1 contender??

Are the WBO trying to force Ricky into the Broner fight???, Broner will probably fight DeMarco next so why make this daft statement about having to face the mandatory contender???. Take a guess who the 2 is??

Its Kevin Mitchell....so are the WBO gonna force Burns to face Mitchell again lol, well hes number 2 and should move to number 1 if Broner fights for the WBC title

very strange

The whole ABC titles has gone absolutely nuts in the past couple of years. It's always been crazy but they've gone into overdrive now.

They made the statement because Burns - Harrison is strongly rumoured to happen next. The WBO have pretty much said they won't sanction that fight, and rightly so

I'd just like to say, its fucking crazy how good Ricky Burns has gotten. I mean, around two years ago he was just a domestic fighter, and now he could be close to creeping in the p4p top 10. He's such an excellent fighter and has passed every test with flying colours.

Wait, what?

Wait, what?

In terms of his skills, I think he's certainly close to the p4p top 10 fighters. I think if he beats Broner he'll definitely get in there.

Yeah to be fair you're probably right that he's only a win over someone like Broner away from being up there. It's just that I still can't see a fight like that getting made yet.

Broner is smug enough to fight anyone, but he'd lose to Burns, IMO.

Good on the WBO for killing the Harrison fight. If Broner beats DeMarco then they'll remove him from their contender rankings. The WBC at this time and subject to change don't sanction unification fights. Meantime Burns should try for Kim in the US to build a Broner fight imo.
