Blackwell v Ryder...

Big fan of both this got war written all over it

 

If this happens it is a great little British level fight, should be well balanced and close, fancy Ryder to pip him on points e.g. 115-113, 116-112 region. Either way sort of fight that will improve both boxers as i cannot see anything other than a close fight, loser can come again if its close.

 

Confusing the way you worded that, being as how Blackwell and Murray fought.

Granted I know you meant it as "almost stopped Khomitsky (who stopped Bulgioni and arguably beat Murray too)" but the less savvy could mistake that as you implying Nick both nearly stopped Khomitsky and and arguably himself beat Murray (like it was a bogus stoppage and he was getting the best of the action before then or something). Not so. That's his one clear loss.

 

:good

He deserved the nod against Bursak, as well.

BJS got past him clean but it was a close one, and probably Saunders' toughest assignment yet (and stands as his third hardest to date after Eubank Jr. and Ryder, but more difficult than O'Sullivan, Blandamura, Hall, Fletcher, Pryce...). It wasn't just the cut early on, either, Blackwell's style and heart alone really pushed BJS to his limits.

 

FOTY contender no doubts. Would have said Ryder would win but he's looked a bit off form in his last 2 fights, 50/50 fight.. Blackwell is much better than his record suggests, he's took a lot of fights at short notice.

 

Quality domestic 50/50 fight. Really like Ryder style of fighting and Blackwell is always gonna bring it so I expect a good fight!

 

Going with Ryder in this one. Tough fighter Blackwell but he is a level below Ryder in my opinion.

 

it's too close to call

 

you can still add a poll....
