Edit: FIGHT NEXT SATURDAY (Nov 23rd) This one going under the radar it seems. Not the best matchup but hopefully Ryder can cause him a few problems. Although I expect Smith to get the stoppage around the half way mark. Anything decent on the undercard lads?
Genuinely looking forward to this I fully expect a Smith win but i like Ryder and will be hoping he pulls off the upset Good point What is the undercard saying?
Hope Ryder can pull it off. It'll be a competitive fight I think anyway but I do think Smith will get the win. It's next Saturday btw.
Calum Smith doesn't seem to have a lot of fans on here, does he? I personally rate him very highly. I'll never know how he makes 168 but he's not just huge, he has a very good jab and power in both hands. In saying that, I'd enjoy seeing Ryder win
I hope Ryder knocks Callum Smith's block off. He has made the improvements and has the inside game to really cause Callum alot of pain. This should be the most difficult fight of Callum's career. I am picking Ryder by TKO/KO in round 8.
After that wbss win smith should really be kicking on Ryder hut and move keep the big fella moving for the full 12 Its his only real chance He aint knocking him out thats for sure
I think we are all just bored of waiting with Smith. He should have been in big fights for a while now bit for whatever reason he hasn't. After 2 or 3 years as a mando he won the WBSS and dissapeared again and now taking a relatively easy Xmas pay day. No interest in watching him until he finally fights a top fighter. Granted facing aglued together Groves wasn't his fault but I'm.bored of Smith.
It’s next Saturday mate. Tennyson v Evans & Glover v Billam-Smith on it. Both should be good fights I think
The plank is coming out of retirement. Ryder is a much better boxer but in td hard to know how the two styles will blend. Has JR got the right style to trouble Smith? I’m quite certain Smith will fall apart catastrophically some day: against the wrong opposition he will be exposed. Hope Ryder can do it. !
Can't see Ryder doing much to be honest - On a good run but i think his style is just asking for Smith's jab to hammer his face all fight - the reach advantage is massive and then he has to deal with Smith's power. All the advantages are with Smith. Should be good while it last but think Smith will get Ryder out of there. Hopefully in 2020 he can't fight some of the bigger names - his career could do with a shot in the arm it's stalled a bit
