nice one ryan

[danboxer1]

after landing some explosive shots for four rounds ryan settled in to things lovely and boxed a very intelligent fight to win clearly on points.brilliant stuff. he's now ranked number 10 wbc and hopefully now he'll get a crack at a world title.he certainly deserves one.well done son

I would love to see the Rhodester win a world title, one of the most talented boxers out of the UK who had too many lost years along the way.

It'd be quality to see Rhodes win a world title, then face off against Jamie Moore, who by that time should be EBU champ. Whether that will happen or not is another story...

someone said on here before the weekend that rhodes looked healthier / less gaunt

i have to say he looked well gaunt to me, anyone else think he looked like Skeletor?

he looked slick enoough but his workrate is patchy, don't think he could beat Forrest even atm..

Well done to Ryan. I did think he looked gaunt, but not in a particularly unhealthy way (I know that's a contradiction in terms!). I think it's more to do with age - if you weigh the same at 32 as you did at 21, you're bound to appear a lot leaner. I think 154 is the right weight for him.

I was impressed with His performance. Good levels of concentration Boxed well.

I agree, my face certainly looks thinner in my early 30s than it did 10 years ago and i weigh roughly the same, give or take a pound or 3.

You dont have to get personal.

WELL DONE RYAN.

[IronOne]

Why's he getting personal??

He's using the character who's head was a skull to emphasise the fact that he thought Ryan looked gaunt in the face - he's not attacking Rhodes

[hitman_hatton1]

vuma is commonwealth title level if were being honest.

all this walking into world title shots does seem a little premature.

but the sanctioning bodies have no standards these days anyway.

good luck to rhodes if he lands a shot.
