Headlining in Cardiff on Friday. IBF European 140lb title at stake, 1st defense of Ennis-Brown. Two undefeated men, with very low KO percentages. Somebody's 0 has got to go (barring a NC or draw) - and it'll likely take all ten rounds to do so. Ennis-Brown has fought the better opposition to date, including a win over Freddy Kiwitt that has aged nicely (as the Liberian-Englishman just defeated Paddy Gallagher last week) as well as having bested Glenn Foot (to claim the BBBofC English super lightweight title), Chris Jenkins (for the vacant WBC Youth title) and Darragh Foley (adding the vacant IBF European belt to his collection) in a very nice run the last couple of years. Rehman is coming off a narrow referee's decision over Lee Appleyard for the vacant Central Area super lightweight title, and comes in with two more stoppages (3) in the same number of bouts (a dozen), and with a 2" height advantage.
I'm big fan of Riddy. I have followed his career and been to many of his fights as he is from my home town. He is slick and a master at not being hit. His KO record is not great but he has the skills to cause anyone trouble as he is very awkward with a long reach. I believe he wins this fight on points by a wide margin and hopefully he can then get a big fight which is what he craves for and deserves Good luck Riddy.
I have seen a few YouTube videos of his fights. He is tall but doesn't have much of a punch on him. From what I have seen, he can get caught quite easily and I think Riddy reflexes and speed is perfect for his style. The fight is live on IFL TV . It want be a slug fest and probably no KO's but if you want to watch a very skilful boxer then this will be a good watch.
