Ricky Burns takes on Andreas Evensen for the WBO super-featherweight title at Braehead Arena. Burns takes an easy first title defense after his shocking upset of Roman Martinez in a great fight earlier in the year. Evensen is a 13-1 Norseman who has fought mostly out of Finland, and whose lone loss came to Benoit Gaudet. Fellow Scotchman Appleby was knocked out by Martin Lindsay last year to end a meteoric rise, and this is his first decent opponent since that loss. It's hard to tell much about Laryea, who doesn't look like much on paper, but a lot of Ghanians don't have complete records on Boxrec and he's at least good enough to have won their national super featherweight title. It appears the goal may be to set up a fight between Burns and Appleby, which would be a huge fight in Scotland.
