IMO the only way John Ryder can win this on a FW show is by knockout.

IMO he hasn't got the ability to beat Billy Joe very clearly over the distance. Seems good respect between the lads and hopefully the winner defends against Eubank Jr.

John Ryders a tough quality opponent and i didnt think this fight would get made so soon but there you go sometimes boxing can shock you


Billy Joe Saunders is a special talent though IMO and i think not only will he beat Ryder, and not only will he become a world champion,i think he can reign as a world champ for a long time

He,s got it all to have a long career i think,youth on his side,speed,slickness,brain and ability and he,s doing it the right way,British/Commonwealth title defences against good tough domestic opposition plus the Gary O,Sullivan fight was a great win,hopefully if he comes through this unscathed and titles intact he can fight Max Bursak for the European belt,which he would win comfortably i reckon

Although people might say he lacks punching power and has bad hands,they 12 rounders he,s had will do him world of good for when he finally reached top level


Saunders points win

I think BJS's wants to keep the lonsdale belt outright and he's got one more defense last after this to achieve that. Would love to see him and Eubank jnr go at it but one I dont think Eubank would fancy it and secondly the promotional differences are gonna cause problems there.

Why does Meaty Mick think all the top fighters are scared of his fighters :??


"i dont think xxxxxx will fancy it after tonight" he says it even after his mans scraped a win

Bjs has definitely got the skills and ryder is pretty strong its good to see power v Skills.... if it goes the distance then bjs will be a win with a ud 116 112..However ryder is the best bjs has fought and with last few weeks fights anything can happen. ... im not going to underestimate ryder cos he may surprise some with an early knockout or tko
