Moore & Rhodes

Wales · Post by **Wales** » 19 Oct 2009, 06:17

As a way of putting what was seemingly a snooze fest between Direll and Froch (I've not seen the fight yet - thanks primetime, saved me £15) behind us lets get everyones final thoughts on this Friday's WBC title eliminator between Moore & Rhodes.

Persoanlly Im going for Jamie mid to late KO. I think he'll be on the kind of form that won him the euro title, compact, aggressive, picking precision punches. I dont think Rhodes will be able to hang with the type of fighter he's going to be up against on Friday, and I think Moorsey will take over following some close rounds, I reckon from around the 4th.

Hurrah a non Froch thread!

I think Moore with have a surprisingly easy time with Rhodes, who may have a couple of moments early, but will be broken down by Moore for a latish stoppage whilst well ahead on the scorecards.

I think Moore's going to have 'im.

Moore KO8

Rhodes is a good boxer if given time but Moore will pressure him for 8 hard, gruelling rounds Rhodes might box well early keeping Moore at range but eventually Jamie will wear him down and stop him late

Ryan to stop him by about 7 rounds, possibly earlier.I anticipate Ryan landing a lot of hard, accurate, shots and bashing Moore up and then forcing the stoppage.

my prediction:

afterwards ppl might compare it to murray-thaxton.

Wales · Post by **Wales** » 19 Oct 2009, 11:10

It should kick off a fantastic month for boxing, and put behind us the likes of McDermott Fury and Froch Direll!

Captain Hook · Post by **Captain Hook** » 19 Oct 2009, 11:23

Moore will break him down around the 7th and stop him. It will be Rhodes taking the harder punches, Moore will prove he's world class.

No disrespect to Ryan, he's a very good fighter, but for my money Moore is better.

Will be a great fight.

Magic card 3 Title fights I hope they show them all

Best Friday Fight Night of the year

Agreed it's a super night and surprised it's not a 9:30 start. Obviously Moore v Rhodes will be live, but might we see Price live? Or maybe even one of the title fights?

Wrists · Post by **Wrists** » 19 Oct 2009, 13:17

Moore very early or Rhodes on points

Ryan can be caught and hurt early but if he is still there after 3/4 rounds he has the style to beat Moore.

Cracking fight

I am glad we are starting to talk about this fight - its a bloody brilliant fight and I cannot wait for it.

I think Ryan Rhodes chance is early - sometimes Jamie gets caught early and I honestly believe that is Ryan's only chance - first 4 rounds or not at all.

Although I think Ryan will have an early lead - If he doesn't catch Jamie early then from the 7th or 8th round we will see Jamie go into a lead and possibly have Ryan worried whether he is going to last the distance or not - personally I think he will hang on but Moore will win the fight by a wide points margin.

This is pretty much how I see it as well - Ryan's faster hands will allow him to edge the opening rounds as Moore just feels him out, but I see Moore stepping on the gas and closing him down as the fight progresses to take a close but clear-cut decision and it's not out of the question he could stop Ryan late. However, while I think the likelihood is that Moore will take a clear-cut verdict, I don't see him walking through Rhodes in the manner that some on here are predicting.

Ryan Rohdes is too much of a survivor for that to happen - although I will say if Moore does stop him then that will be some win.

Whilst I am here - I do not completely discount a Rhodes early knock down of Moore.

Rhodes was beaten clearly by Lockett so if Moore is going anywhere he should be handling the likes of Rhodes.
