I doubt 'Scrap' will love this, but it was a big shock!

Yes your right, it was a bad night for Paul but he was ok thank god. It was a hell of a punch.
It's just one of those fights that not many got to see at the time.

being a young boxing fan i never knew who paul ryan was but his record and what ian darke was saying suggested he was a really good fighter going in to the fight but wasnt that some left hook by a young jono thaxton

Was that the spanish guy?brilliant fight if I remember correctly.Ryan was all but out but come back to finish him off.
I seem to remember paul ryan getting stopped on a card that was shown on eurosport years ago but cant for the life of me remember who it was against.

Good one, thanks for posting that, been a long time since I saw that. Seem to recall Harry Mullan at Boxing news, in his preview, saying that Thaxton might get him with a left hook..hopefully someone puts Ryan/Hale up there too.

Brings back memorys that does
![[icon_e_biggrin.gif] :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
, I was in the corner, but Paul had left the camp a month before. I was asked to do the corner and Holligan Fight got talked into it by the wife. In fairness there was a lot of stress for Paul at the time. I would not have taken the Fight. John was a good Fighter who caused or had the ability to cause an upset, and did.

never seen that one before.
heard about it a lot.
that was a bingo shot.
i see ryan got beat in a round by holligan in his very next fight.
bit of a puncher himself.
23 stopped in 25 wins for ryan.

ryan was toooooo confident, wild swings and hands too low, enter the ring not 100% focused and that is an example of what can happen.

Off topic here but... Howard, I read Dave Matthews book, "Looking for a fight" and was wondering how he is getting on now? Do you still keep in touch? He was very complimentary to you in the book.

Collins, was having a natter 2 days ago on Facebook. Paul had just split with His wife that week, everything was going wrong for Him. Its nice to see that now everything is going right.
