    What are these levels you speak of? Going life and death with Skoglund and getting pushed back for 12 rounds by a MMA guy. He KO'd a crippled Groves on the verge of retirement. All I see is a jab and straight right, occasionally a few hooks. He's rudimentary.

    Come on Ryder!!!

    I can't stand Callum Smith, you treat him like he's the best thing since sliced bread but he only beat one armed groves.

    I hope Ryder bombs this tool

    Since I have a hell of a lot more W's than L's..... don't count on it. If it is, it is, oh well.

    Ryder is no Rocky Fielding type punk *****. He’s not hitting the floor tonight.

    Smith is ****ing huge for 168. One of the biggest weight bullies in the game IMO.

    I think Smith will win on points.

    You're alright by me CST but you make claims that are too certain oftentimes. Don't be too sure. Smith may not have blown Hoelzen out of the water but those kickboxers are extremely tough and sometimes quite skilled in their boxing too.

    Holzken has good defense and is very, very experienced. Even gave Buakaw trouble (in K1).

    A guy who lost to Rocky Fielding is NOT beating Callum Smith. Let’s be f’n serious here.

    Can't decide who is more boring. Smith or Joe Joyce. Tough one.

    Try actually watching the match instead of checking Boxrec. Ryder won that comfortably. But got robbed blind. Also, that was his first big step up to SMW, he fought cautious as hell and tried to conserve his energy.

    Didn't you pick Groves to beat him? Seems like you're hating on Smith because he retired Groves. If he wins this fight will you actually start giving him respect?
