London O2 Sept 12th RBR

[ShadrachSimmo]

No rematch and he means it he knows he can't beat him legitimately.

[palooka]

Ain't gonna be no rematch

[expe]

...gotta feel for Ryan...but...well..poo happens I guess...fight #4 or does Hibbert kick on?

Got to be a rematch, Ryan was beating him by a mile then put his back out. Hibbert can say what he likes about not having a rematch, if the Commonwealth Council have anything about them they'll order a rematch and he'll have to give him one or he'll be stripped of the title.

[taffytoon]

The boxer was unable to continue; regardless of a punch landing he could not defend himself so the fight had to be stopped.

[bripez]

The injury wasn't due to a foul.

Did his back throw itself out?

Would it be any different if he had a whack in the bollocks and couldn't carry on ?

[taffytoon]

His back could have gone by itself; of course it could

+1

Awful for Dave Ryan, he is clearly the better boxer and he had some awful luck, Hibbert is a decent fellow and after tonight I imagine how victory will feel hollow.

[MightyWarrior]

Ask him are you hurt, can you go on ? Get the doctor for an opinion ?? If his back is gone, take him back to his corner...not jump around like a maniac screening the count in his face.
IJL is a clown.

It didn't seem that way to be honest

[Neil Gee]

Why have a rematch? Ryan is obviously going to win but is going nowhere whereas Hibbert has a chance of reaching a higher level. Doesn't make sense from Hibbert's point of view.

Now onto the real star. Come on AJ.

I bet you loved the 9/11 anniversary with all the conspiracy theories going around haha; I bet you don't think USA landed on the mOON EITHER

[palooka]

If Ryan's back hadn't have gone he would have won a landslide and probably had to face Hibbert again, he's clearly the better fighter and I'd have liked to see him push on for the European and I hope he does.

Because Ryan was winning easily, then a foul by Hibbert injured him and the fight was stoppped? Makes sense from Ryan's point of view and that of any neutral observer, Hibbert won't go past domestic level anyway and will probably lose the belt in the first defence.

[taffytoon]

Show us the foul

I'd put him in with Saunders. Saunders needs a proper fight to see if he is going anywhere.

[Neil Gee]

Who fancies this to go beyond two rounds? Bit of a no-win situation coz AJ needs to overcome difficulties in the ring to move onwards and upwards but can't see Cornish giving him any difficfulty at all. Hope I'm wrong.

If a rematch isn't ordered I can see that being next, like you say Saunders needs to get moving and Hibbert is the obvious option, followed by the winner of Nurse-Jenkins.

[MightyWarrior]

Timberrrrrrrrrr

I thought IJL handled that just fine actually, it was obvious to everyone what was happening.

Yes expe that's how Ryan is going to see it. I'm trying to see it as Hibbert and his promoters (who are now in the more powerful bargaining position) see it.

[sendo]

Going to enjoy watching Cornish get stopped after that Braveheart shite.

[MightyWarrior]

Big Gary looks confident at least,,

[Boxerbeetle]

Joshua been taking tips from the Klitschkos on his ring entrances

[adamwillan]

I can't believe how full the O2 is for essentially what is a Joshua warm up fight
