Listen mate - I know you are having a giggle about "Twenty Six" - but the bloke is like a father to Ryan Rhodes - so when people come on here spouting shit about Rhodes he is bound to defend the lad - I for one know the reasons for the pull out are genuine and do you honestly think Rhodes has that much money he can afford to pull out of nice pay days? Rhodes is a genuine and honest fighter who has a lovely family to support and I can tell you for a fact he is hurting right now that he cannot fight on the 28th!!! - in a way I think it took guts for Dave Coldwell to pull out Rhodes - Coldwell could have put his promotional head on and said nothing - instead he did the proper thing of thinking of his fighter first!!!
The fight will be at a later date, hope Ryan gets better, I was looking forward to this fight happening,
you cannot perform to the best of your ability if you have flu, so wish him to get well then we can watch the fight..............

I was told "Flu" is the reason, Ryan has not been able to train for a good few days - so not only was there the issue of fitness, but in that comes weight etc etc due to non training.
Due to things being totally genuine - I am positive Robert Smith at the BBBofC will look at things sympathetically and if Hayemaker get in there quick to rearrange another date in the near future the fight could still be on - unless of course a certain promotional firm want to continue to play silly games.
What silly games are being played ?
You were banging on before about Small pulling out of this fight. You called that well didn't you.
