    Who is winning this one? Slightly favouring Ryder at the moment because he is heavy handed, but not a massive puncher and takes too much time getting his punches off. Blackwell is a workhorse, tough and faster imo, he's gonna push ryder hard, and ryder can't box and move like Saunders so he will land plenty.

    I can see it going the distance and ryder taking a split decision.

    50/50 fight but lean towards Blackwell because he's been in more tough fights could be the difference here

    I'm going for Ryder. Blackwell looked very poor against Nathan King, who's a journeyman and really should have done a job on him. He always comes up short against good fighters. I think Ryder gets the KO in the later rounds.

    Not certain of either guy, edge towards Ryder but I just look forward to seeing the fight to be honest, could be a very good one.

    King was a late replacement who is a light heavy so had a big weight advantage to take into account

    I want to see john carried to the ring on the back of a gorrilla.

    Otherwise he should change his name to "pony" or ''camel".

    Blackwell, the kid knows he's pretty much in last chance saloon in terms of picking up the belt.

    Plus I rate him above Ryder in most every department bar out & out power. . .

    I favour Blackwell, his experience will be the ultimate factor in my opinion
