Wow! What a win for Tommy Ryan. By far his most significant victory of the season. Maybe he's finally getting ready to deliver on the potential I first saw in him when I signed him.

no.....it's a flash in the pan

We'll see. I like Tommy's chances against Canelo, and with a win there I believe he'd advance in the Tournament.

That Ketch vs Alvarez fight was a hell of a thing.

You need Ryan to beat Canelo but if Leonard gets the comeback KO over unpredictable Ketchel you're out whatever you do.

Yeah we'll see. At any rate though if Ryan is able to get 2 wins out of 3 fights against solid opposition considering the season he's had up to this point I'd be happy with his performance in the Tournament.
