    Anyone else watch burns mitchell fight at the weekend? What a fight!!. Didnt expect it to finish as it did. Burns did not look out of place at this weight and in fact probably looked better. True champ and imo could clear up that division and move up again.

    He hasn't looked out of place at the weight in his last two fights, and is now unbeaten in his last 20 fights getting better every time.

    This was a really, really impressive win, as this wasn't the Kevin Mitchell that didn't train or focus for Katsidas, this was a game challenger.

    Not sure about clearing out the division, have you seen Adrian Broner and De Marco? If they fight in December, the winner has to fight Burns, but it will be fireworks!

    ill be honest im an avid boxing fan but i havent seen De Marco. He good? ill have a neb on you tube. Seen Broner fight once or twice, he is good but i still think watching Burns in his last five or six fights that he'l have his number. He's got so many different options, technically sound but equally as good in a tear up. Did not expect that against Mitchell. Punch Perfect

    Jury's out for me on Broner, but he's looked nothing short of explosive and fast as lightning when I've seen him.

    De Marco lost to Edwin Valero early in his career, but then sparked Linares (sp?) who was the next big thing, and made short work of Molina in just one round a couple of weeks ago.

    De Marco, Broner and then Burns for me - but any two of those fighting each other could go either way.
