It was noted that the alleged Co-Manager who wanted to hold his hand is the one that has been sending Ryan solicitors letters and not flowers - It has not gone down well and Moore slammed Rhodes ‘ I have lost a lot of respect for Ryan now , it is a bullshit excuse and I thought he was more of a man than this. I did not have to give him this opportunity and he should be grateful for it , I was always going to do a number on him and this has fired me up even more so now ,expect a performance on the 23rd October2009’

Bullshit excuse? The same one that Steve Wood used for Quigley not doing one in Liverpool recently. Rhodes won't pull out of this one but Moore might, he's pulled out more times than a Catholic priest, he's the one I'd worry about if I was you. Rhodes, I hear, has even turned down a straight World title fight, for more money to take this one, so fair play to him.

Please give it a rest.
Rhodes will be there.
This is a big night for both fighters.
The prize isn't just the Euro belt, its the guarantee of the WBC World Title tilt.
On what basis do you reach your conclusion ?
Because he wasn't at a Press Conference 4 weeks before the fight ?
This is also a big payday for both fighters.

Be honest is the reason you are having a pop at Jamie Moore because he wont ever sign for "your lot" ever again - and its because of that you are all bitter and twisted!!

This Press Conference was set for Tuesday.
Rhodes set his plans out to facilitate it.
At the last minute, it gets moved to Thursday.
Thursday - the same day as the Press Conference in Liverpool for the Smigga fight.
Warren is Rhodes Manager.
He can't be in two places at once.
Warren wants to be at the Press Conference with Rhodes.
It could have been rescheduled with a little more thought, but hey that's life.
Cool down guys when the next Conference is set everyone will be there.
As for Boxingchat's comments re the World Title, it's up to everyone out there to formulate their own opinion.
However discussions have been held with the WBC over a while now regarding Rhodes, and his camp is more than happy with the planned route forward.
As ever it comes down to results, and this is a major hurdle for Rhodes - but so is it for Jamie.
It's going to be a cracker.

What surprises me, is the double standards.
It's a fact both fighters have withdrawn from fights for genuine reasons.
So just answer me this, why is Moore always believed, and Rhodes is not ?
Let me give you a "for instance"
The issue of Rhodes illness and withdrawal from the Small fight was adjudicated by the Board.
They looked at all of the Medical Evidence and found totally in Rhodes favour.
Why is it then that continually he is accused of walking away from the fight ?
Rhodes had a nasty chest infection leading up to the fight.
Moore had a virus leading up to the Colas fight - so to answer your post, there's one example of him pulling out not due to injury.
I have absolutely no doubts in my mind that we are dealing with two of the most genuine home grown fighters we have.
So I ask again, why the double standards ?
This is a massive opportunity for the winner - and they will both be there fight night.
