Ryan's style is all wrong for these European fighters that's why they don't wanna know!! It's no coinsidence that there all pulling out through promoters or just saying no!! Not 1 of them is injured yet there just not taking it??

Ryan more than deserves his chance on the world scene!! I think it's a disgrace that he ain't been given the chance yet!! This Chavez situation with the WBC is a joke. Why Ryan can't face Chavez in a FINAL eliminator is beyond me?? The WBC should order this fight and when Chavez pulls out that puts Ryan as mandatory challenger!!

Good luck Ryan mate you deserve better!!

You've hit the nail on head the head there!! Matty Hall will still hopefully fight for this title!! I gotta say that Matty is a vastly improved fighter and is training out of his skin at the moment, He'll get a shot at a title very very soon imo..

To be fair to Bayram, this has more to do with issues with the EBU than the fighter himself.
If it is to be Konecny than fair enough let's get it on.
However his last three fights have been at Middleweight so why should he be considered higher in the rankings than the likes of Bayram.
Bottom line from Rhodes perspective is simple.
Baysangourov, Cancleaux, Bayram, Konecny, whoever it is, lets get to work.

a disgrace.

i wouldn't go that far.

he's only just got his mitts on a european title.

So you think it's right that a drugs cheat should figure more in the WBC's plans ?
As for the EBU situation well that should take care of itself.

If konecny stays at middleweight or withdraws from purse bids then small will be made mandatory so what will happen then will rhodes fight small or vacate.If he does the latter it will look like hes avoiding small even tho rhodes would smash him imo.

What about the guy currently ranked fourth with the EBU.

Where are we now 26 ??

Right here mate !!
Konecny will be officially made the mandatory today and then there'll be a date for the purse bids.
There are all sort of rumours flying around, some with a sense of reality, some not.
All will become clear shortly.
