Can anyone tell me of a sensible reason why Ryan Rhodes and Takaloo are both on next weekend's Bolton bill facing the trusty A.N.Other instead of each other? If their were ever two guys who desperately needed a big win again it's this pair!

I fought Rhodes in my last fight i think Ryan is class but will never make it again his chin is there to be hit and he hasnt got a good chin

I am sure you are right, and as neither Rhodes or Tak are getting any younger or better, so why not get em in the biggest fights possible?

Just looking at your own record, how did you come to be fighting Jim Rock for the Irish title this year, Irish ancestry?

Tak's been out for best part of a year so needs to be eased back after such a shocking knockout against Alexander and he's also looking at going down to welterweight. I thought he was fighting Delroy Mellis but Sports Network they're putting out the old S/O at the mo.

It's a fight neither of them will want to take unless there's a title on the line and it would literally finish either of them, plus there's the weight issue. Tak's made light-middle all his career, but Rhodes hasn't got down to 11st for years.

If his chin is there to be hit why dint ya just crack him one and send him crashing to the canvas

But Rhodes has a good chance of KO`ing whoever he lands on also so that kind of evens things up

Mate u fight someone as good as him and u tell me if u can land on someone who moves around u that fast.....at the same time he lands some cracking hard sharp punches,they sort of stop u in ur tracks...
although as most boxing fans today are always right arent they....it's so easy from outside the ring
