Ryan Rhodes aiming for world honours now

[Captain Hook]

I'm a Lawyer mate, don't mess with me and your libel threats !

We'll chat for another 50 minutes then pal and you can charge me £200 :)

I can't believe that I'm going to thake the bait, but Hook, what have you been watching. Vuma was dangerous and ambitious until the end -that he msised so often is a tribute to Ryans footwork and defense + good reflexes and conditioning to do that for 12 rounds.

The Coyle win, was probaby a bit more unfocussed, but that guy deserves all the credit in the world -he took his lumps and kept on firing back.The Woolcombe win was a good one, as he had pedigree -a very good amateur background, and british level status in the proffessional ranks.To take him apart sysimatically like that shows that Ryan is way beyond British level on his day.

I'm excited about a potential Moore -Rhodes fight.I think we all are, and I'll leave it at that.

Hey Lennox that's fair enough mate. I have no issue with Rhodes, he's proved me wrong in the last 12 months and good luck to him.
If the fight happens I'm sure he'll equip himself well until the later rounds. If it goes the other way I'll hold my hands up.

You can't tell me Vuma was ambitious throughout though BL, he didn't get started until the fourth....

I wouldn't get out of bed for that hourly rate.

Judging on the state of you - you consistently look as if you have just got out of bed!!!

So what level is Andrew Facey on ? He stopped Woolcombe 4 rounds earlier

Different fight for different night.Facey is a very underated fighter -scored a very good win over the fancied Mscklin a while back, and gave Moore problems.

I know what you're saying, but I think he had a game plan, which was to be patient until later on, but ultimately could'nt figure out Ryan's style, I felt.You could hear his trainer shouting in desperation throughout.He can take a shot though that Vuma and was still punching hurtfully in the later stages,

Pugilist,
Form lines in the manner you quote them mean nothing.
Rhodes dismantled Tsarenko for instance, and gave him 14lbs weight advantage, yet the same boxer destroyed Lockett and nearly ended his career, the facial injuries were so bad.
Does that mean Rhodes beats Lockett at a canter - of course not, look at the subsequent fight.
Facey ko's Woolcombe, then gives Moore all sorts of problems over 11 rounds.
Facey would not survive 4 rounds against Rhodes.
Does that mean Rhodes is superior to Moore - of course not.
Whilst I know Moore would beat Woolcombe it wouldn't be a straight forward affair as your form line approach would indicate.
It's an old cliche mate, but styles make fights.

Chill out mate .

My tongue was firmly in my cheek when I made that post.

Any news on the mandatory defence against Anthony Small ? Should be a good fight for us anoraks but I'd tip Ryan to win.

Purse bids have to be in by 10th December 2008 and the fight to take place before March 09 but that's as far as it goes at this stage mate.

That's one fight I will tip Rhodes to win. Hopefully by KO.
