SCOTTISH fight legend Jim Watt believes Ricky Burns' proposed world lightweight title unification fight with Miguel Vazquez will prove an easier night than his harrowing third defence against unheralded Puerto Rican Jose Gonzalez.

PAUL WEIR has backed Ricky Burns to claim a stoppage victory over Jose A Gonzalez when they meet at the Emirates Arena tomorrow night.

JOSE GONZALEZ has vowed to make Ricky Burns "taste the canvas" during their world title fight at the Emirates Arena on Saturday night.

RICKY BURNS says working with new promoter Eddie Hearn has energised him ahead of his showdown with Puerto Rican challenger Jose A Gonzalez at the Emirates Arena next Saturday.

SCOTT HARRISON has been vilified and written off more times than any other sportsman of modern times.

RICKY BURNS has been backed to produce a knock-out performance when he faces Puerto Rican puncher Jose A Gonzalez at the Emirates Stadium on May 11 in the second defence of his WBO lightweight title.

RICKY BURNS' next defence of the WBO lightweight title will be against No.1 contender Jose A Gonzalez.

RICKY BURNS will make his first appearance in the ring as part of Eddie Hearn's Matchroom stable in Glasgow on May 11.

Gary McCallum is being tipped for Scottish middleweight title glory tonight at Ravenscraig Sports Facility in Bellshill.
