Win one of five pairs of tickets

Rhodes in 5 for me.
He is still quick enough not to let Moore crawl all over him.
I can see more giving him a few nasty moments but ryan will give it some angles

STYLES MAKE FIGHTS

I reckon the Manchester Mauler takes a clear UD

Moore via stoppage.

I can see Rhodes' corner pulling him out - let's hope it's not before the fight.

It's a hard one to call. Rhodes had a brilliant win against Woolcoombe, and two competent wins against Coyle and Vuma.

If Rhodes can find the right punch, he may have this by a KO.

Thats what I'm going for. Can get 5-1 on that.

Can his win against Woolcombe really be called brilliant? Woolcombe was a rather weak British champion.

I'd say so, because it was such a comprehensive KO.

As much as I like both fighters, gotta be J-Mo. Feels like he has more momentum. This, to me, feels like the biggest UK fight since Benn v Eubank 2.

I've already gone through 2 pairs of pants.

I'm gutted I can't go.

I'm certainly looking forward to it, thats for sure.

However, in all honesty I can't say it comes close to Benn Eubank II. Benn and Eubank were such characters, and at the time of their fight, both proven champions at world level.

(I know you weren't actually saying that the fight was the same magnitude, but it's a handy comparisson.)

total mismatch for me.

Moore will destroy him early. too powerful and in his prime, Moore is World Title contender, Rhodes is past his best.

I'd say so, because it was such a comprehensive KO.

I thought Rhodes was terrible against Jamie Coyle, awful.

Autobarn · Post by **Autobarn** » 23 Oct 2009, 06:31

Moore will batter him then eat him.

I can't see what Rhodes can do one Moroe has found his range.

Serious opportunity for both men, so I can't see Moore being less than at his best. (Unless there are injuries or weight problems or some problem.)

You aren't going to beat Moore with that pickpocket style, not going to keep him off for 12 rds...

Gazmac81 · Post by **Gazmac81** » 23 Oct 2009, 06:42

Rhodes battered Coyle for a good few rounds but coyle soaked it up

Possibly Rhodes will win first few rounds tonight and then Moore take over

However Rhodes is being seriously Written off here and i think that is a bit harsh

Moore has been beat and down before but seems to be on form

i reckon it will be a good tough fight between 2 of the Nice Guys in boxing.

I'd say so, because it was such a comprehensive KO.[/quote]

haye v mucca in big arena for 3 world titles?

i would say moore v rhodes is more of a good "trade" fight which will likely have good loyal/local following, as well as decent implications for the winner.

For about 5 rounds rhodes looked good, then he faded out fo the fight. But lets be fair, Coyle isnt even british title level, and has been KO'd with consumate ease on more than one occassion before and after rhodes.

I can see Ryan Rhodes winning this on points. He had his mid career hiccup but I think he will have too much movement and
variety for Jamie Moore.

Jamie Moore is a good fighter but he is just that level below true world class. It will be a good one I reckon.

rhodes may have hiccups, but moore's body punching will give him indigestion.

bad luck for winner?

pavlik v williams off, probably for good. sergio martinez offers to step in for Pav. williams beats martinez? down at light middle? absolute hardest fight out there, if winner wants to fight for WBC title...

Bold statement putting Ryan Rhodes at "true world class" .

Nah, I didn't say that. Rhodes is at the same level but his style will be perfect for Moore - just a personal opinion
and I may be wrong tomorrow.

Yeah, whoever wins, it is going to be a tough one to actually win the WBC belt and to keep it. Whoever wins tonight certainly deserves their chance which is the main thing.

Moore will ko him looking forward to the fight though hopefully he will fight Sergio Martinez instead of Julio Cesar Chaves Jr that was rumuored. Moore will be a world champion this time next year

big lennox · Post by **big lennox** » 23 Oct 2009, 09:11

I've thought about it long and hard and can't see any other outcome than a rhodes stoppage win. I think Moores style is perfect for him
