Apparently Fitzgerald and Rose will be announced soon as well as Robbie Davies JR Lewis Ritson. Can’t see past Fitz and RDJ both winning on points Good fights will probably end up headlining Matchroom shows I suspect. Don’t think there’s enough quality to warrant being a headline fight personally.
Ritson vs Robbie Davis Jr is a very good fight, can’t see it doing many tickets though. Good undercard to a Beefy show in Liverpool or headlining in Newcastle? Fitz vs Rose should be light work as long as the mad man has his head together, hopefully that Fowler win has opened his eyes and shown him what he’s capable of if he focuses.
Ritson sold well in Newcastle last time against Patera, wouldn’t expect the same sort of turn out next time due to the loss. Possibly fighting Davies Jr might drive up sales but a loss to Davies Jr would all but end Ritsons matchroom affiliation id suspect. Fitzy Rose is a good fighting a lot of action. Really enjoyed him beating fowler too. He’ll beat British level opponents don’t think he goes as far as world level unfortunately.
If Kelly gets a decent opponent ie Anevseyan, him and Ritson would be a quality double header in Newcastle. Very unlikely. Would like to see Smith in a big fight but I suspect that will come towards September/October.
Ritson stops Davies Jn imo. Robbie is a slick boxer whom I like a lot but he hasn’t got enough sting in his shots to stop Ritson from walking him down. He couldn’t stop Joe Hughes (who I believe won that fight) from coming forward and got smashed up a fair bit with 1 (brilliant) arm. Fitzgerald blasts out Rose in a few rounds.
Probably Kelly headlining the Manchester card I’d guess Anevsyan (spelt right I think) either that or he’ll be allowing Katie Taylor to headline her first card. Buatsi fighting September, and Hearns said Smith won’t be out till September again. Only leaves them 2. Okolie on the card, and Fitz Rose. Does about 8 thousand, decent night depending on opponents. Definitely Manchester Arena as well.
I thought heard something about a rematch between avanysan and Lerraja? What about kelly vs Jenkins for the British title?
Just depends how Ritson makes the weight I suppose. RDJ disappointed against Hughes but if the Ritson who faced Patera turns up and Robbie is on his game then I’d have to favour Robbie to dance rings round him while Ritson swings for air.
Can't see it being Kelly. Especially not against avanesyn. I think Kelly is going to be in a tough fight on June 1st. It's too soon. September he might fight avanesyn but not July
Won’t happen but Davies Jr and Ritson could be the Olympia. Perfect for fights that size. Everyone loves venues like that, it’d also a nice break from the type of people that go to the arena and stadium shows for the old school boxing fan. I agree about Fitzy. I always rated him but I didn’t 100% think he had that in him. He had not really been living the life and seemed small but heavy for the weight. I was made up for him, I hope he gets his head down and goes far.
