Really looking forward to this. Who wins and why? Also lets hope it happens soon! (Ie Well before July deadline)
The Gorilla i think. I think he just has a bit more durability and a bit more strength to outgun him.
Really , really hope nick Blackwell takes this - I'll always remember his brave effort in stepping up to fight Murray. The kid had only fought professionally 8 times, was only 20 years old & went in with a 22-0 Brit & C.wealth champion - he's some ***** on him! Seems crazy to think he's only 24 now as well, hope he pulls it off I really do, big big ask though!
Really pleased this is happening! Ryder seems to have plateaued a bit. Think Blackwell should be too busy. Hopefully Etches fights the winner and the winner of that fights Eubank jnr.
I'm surprised more people aren't picking Blackwell. Ryder was (and still is apparently!) overrated at first, ( nothing against Ryder at all by the way) whereas Nick is under rated IMO. If Nick can get his new super-jab going he should beat Ryder IMO. He has earned his chance harder than any other man out there. Hope Nick gets the breakthrough win he so richly deserves here. I'm going with Blackwell here.
Yes, I am with you on this one. Blackwell has improved a great deal and his jab should prove key in winning this. It'll be competitive though. Ryder pushes everyone.
Two very decent guys..shame they have to fight each other in a way. Neither losing will make me happy.
Any word on this fight? Who's bidding for it..Matchroon and Hennessy presumeably? Hope Blackwell doesn't stagnate into inactivity....he hasn't fought since , what, last October?
Ryder v CEJ would be one i would pay to see, shame these two (Blackwell & Ryder) have been left behind), close call this if Blackwell bags the first five rounds he'll be hard to catch on the scorerecards.
I'm definitely picking Ryder here. Blackwell is decent but he's only remembered for his losses. Who has he beat?
