No, he's still with Matchroom. But his management team is MTK Global and they put on small shows like this one.

Damn Burnett fighting again so soon?

Really feel bad for the kid that he got injured in that fight. He was a dark horse in the tournament imo and I think he would have beaten Donaire.

I not sure he would have beat Donaire but he should have got his chance I also felt terrible for the kid to lose his titles and undefeated record that way it sucked.Was not sure how much Donaire had left and moving down in weight late in career is almost always a disaster.And we never really did get to see not much happened in those rds it was pretty even with both guys still trying to get a feel imo.Donaire at his best which prob was 118 was at a level that Burnett my fellow Irishmen will never see though.

Surely Burnett Vs Ukashir Farooq or Georges Ory would have made for a better contest!!...........
