    Went as expected.

    Would love to see Rgodes in with some of the 6-10 of the JMW's, let's hope Ricky can deliver him a decent opponent next time out.

    Shame he's being shafted in the WBC ratings.

    I think it was an impressive performance.

    Messi was a domestic level opponent but he still managed to toy with him and beat the crap out of him at the same time.

    Gotta be a world title fight next :yep

    True but probably for the wrong reasons. He does not deserve a world title shot.

    Rhodes was impressive but you give any of the big Ingle fighters a fighter like that and they will do exactly the same thing. Toy with them and beat them bad at the same time.

    That's why I said he should have been in with Lukas Konecny. He's a proper European class light middle, been the distance and had a close but competetive loss to Dzinziruk. Unfortunately the EBU are a disgrace.

    World title shots should be given to fighters continously mixing in world class. Jamie Moore was a good win but he needs to be in an eliminator with a top fighter.

    He's number 4 with the WBC & IBF.
    Of those above him in the WBC rankings, JCC Jr is fighting at middle against Duddy in his next fight, & Cintron is coming of a loss.
    Talk of world title fights aren't far-fetched.

    Ideally, yes. But we live in the alphabet age and we see weak title pushes all the time.
