plzzzzzz

Yeah ok.

Just saw a quick flash of Hamed ringside looking as big as a house.

Rhodes is looking good, won the first 3 imo.

your boy rhodes is 3 up for me after 3, 2nd was woolcombes best but still give it rhodes.

rhodes havin minor troubles with his shoes not gripping the canvas

trying to knock each other out in 4. first 30 seconds.....calmed a little now........shaping into a humdinger............will be interseting to see rhodes reaction if he gets clocked.....he nearly has a couple times already

thanks for this guys.

Rhodes seemed to slow down and get tagged a fair bit in the 4th, maybe a Woolcombe round.

4 - big round for woolcombe....meatier shots, he won that one but ryan still boxing tidily.

interview with naz...........not as big as a house..........bungalow granted, but not as big as a house in fairness

Good 5th round for Rhodes, hurt Woolcombe a few times, Woolcombe also cut on the right eye, nothing too serious though.

5 - gw schooled in that one -wobbled twice but not terribly.....hit rhodes on back of head after break......shouldve been a point off right there!!! rhodes too comfortable to bothr arguing..........gw wants to think about keeping at range cos as predicted by NEBF (not exclusively mind rr classier shots.

Excellent 6th for Rhodes, 10-8 round, knocked Woolcombe down.

6 - gw knocked around like a rag doll......nearly stooped........floored........my rhodes points bet looks good for shit........(sorry emma )

Sorry to go OT here, but how did the Pele Reid vs John McDermott fight go? Good scrap?

Gwan Ryan!

gary needs to hit ryan in the face HARD and soon or he's fcked

gw balls not in question but still looks a matter of time

GWs corner trying to G him up saying rhodes got nothing left....suspect they're exaggerating........telling him to stay close and keep whacking rhodes,,,,,,,,,i would tend to agree or he'll get done in

woolcombe hanging in......smacked rr with a lovely left........unfortunately for him rr returned the favour , harder, twice........i hope gary sticks in til the end go on son

Knockout, Rhodes Wins

what round?

WELL DONE RYAN

8th Round I think it was, maybe the 9th.

rhodes has won by KO........different class to woolcombe......woolcombe had a VERY hard first defence.........you really shouldn't have to box a mere 31 yr old who's twice boxed for world honours in your FIRST brit title defence

woolcombe sat up and on the oxygen........it was a huge right walked right into it.......bad KO.

an EXCELLENT performance for Rhodes and a gutsy but ultimately unfortunate night for Woolcombe.......he will hopefully recover more fully very shortly.........

GW on own two feet and off the oxygen, good effort Gary Woolcombe

Its a tricky one to call, though- had he performed differently (ie worse) people might have been saying Rhodes was over the hill- but on the evidence of this, he is still a very classy performer.

Looking at Rhode's record, he has recently had a lot of very mediocre opponents, it was hard to tell exactly how good he was.

or if he could still make the weight properly

Nice to see the return of the Spice Boy! Hopefully a match with Pryce shouldn't be too far off, Rhodes should take care of that one.

Then if Moore does the biz on the Euro front, a match up with him, would be a top domestic dust up.
