Wasn't Burns supposed to fight Valezques last night? Does anybody know if they fought or why it was cancelled. Thanks

Forum in joke mate, never mind.

 

[Kingofdubbs]

Ok. But do you know what happened to this fight?

 

[Sunfish]

I assume you mean Miguel Vazquez, supposedly food poisoning.

Yes, yes I do. Last night I tried to put 200 dollars on Trout and accidentally put it on Vazquez. Guess it was a blessing.

I'm pleased to hear your win man, anyone saving money on boxing gambling round here is alright with me.

 

[Kingofdubbs]

But he had food poisoning on March 16th, and the fight was moved to April 20th, he got it again?

Now you're pushing my knowledge mate, I know he got it and they said it pushed training camp back 10 days. I don't know if that caused a double postponement.

I appreciate you trying to help me, enjoy your day.

Food poisoning caused the first postponement.

Burns had already had a previous bout cancelled and was unhappy with his promoter Frank Warren. This put him over the edge and he suspected that the bout would never happen (there had been a lot of stuff about unsigned contracts and the like previously). He broke/left his contract with Warren and signed with Matchroom Sports who are taking him in a different direction; he may still face Vasquez but it would be at a later date and after another couple of bouts.

Thanks man.

Fights off, Burns left his promoter because he had three fights cancelled in a row & he wasn't being payed what he was owed.

He's now fighting his mandatory against Gonzalez on the May 11th.
