    Good, tough fight. 50-50 in my opinion, be a great fight if made.

    How much does Ryder weigh in ring does anyone know? He looks massive to me, I'd say the size difference between the two would be big enough.

    He makes the weight easily, there was talk of him going down to 154 about 6 months ago, I don't think he's a big middleweight tbh, not very tall but very stocky, hence his nickname, The Gorilla.

    Who ever promotes this sees their fighter winning. BJS is skilled and fast but seems to have stamina and power issues as well as leaving questions about his weight (he should be at 154 for me) and his hands. Ryder appears to have more pop but is less tested, his performance against O'Kane was excellent and he appears to be an very skilled fighter himself. Interesting bout though on a neutral show I'd favour Ryder.

    Saunders has stated on Ifilm London that he'd fight John Ryder in 4 weeks time on April 20th show at Wembley.

    But Francis says the day before that whoever won (BJS-Hall) would target O'Sullivan for a WBO World title Eliminator.

    As long a Billy is in shape he will beat Ryder.

    Matchroom are doing a card in London in July so they will want this fight. But Frank always makes high bids.

    Is London back on now? Haye card end of June. Campbell in Hull early July an Frampton out in Ireland late July I though was mentioned? Can they squeeze another good enough card in there with a London card being mentioned for September as well
