the dave ryan who just mulched a decent john wayne hibbert after being dropped twice, against saunders who throigh the kitchen sink at a french journeyman for 5 rounds and couldnt knock him clean out. it may of been a blessing in disguise for bradley.
bradley saunders will finish dave ryan in a few rounds imo, bradley didnt look good against a frenchman that didnt want to engage! dave ryan will come to beat bradley and you will see the real bradley saunders then. dave is a really tough guy and will give it his all but imo bradley is 2-3 levels above him.
bradley is used to fighting the best fighters in the biggest tournaments amateur and unlike his mate tom stalker bradley always looked more suited to pro game, when he is in against a live opponent like dave ryan trust me you will see another side to him. he actually looked bored and uninterested when he fights the fighters with no ambition.
We will have to wait & see, but I tend to disagree ... I wouldn't be surprised to see ryan taking Saunders to a new place & him not liking it.. Be interesting
I've watched Saunders quite a few times and his complete lack of defence always shocks me, I'll be very surprised if he isn't more respectful to Ryan. It would be a good fight and we should see a better Saunders, a Saunders who does not think he is a puncher and actually boxes. If that Saunders turns up I would pick him to get a decision but if Saunders turns up wanting a fight then Ryan is a real tough night. I'd edge towards Saunders by decision simply because I believe he will approach this completely differently to what we have seen so far.
Saunders turned over with a lot of hype, but up until now I don't really see what all the fuss is about? Obviously a talented amateur, but since making the move into the pro game he's not made a huge impression. Perhaps it's because of the level he's been in with - in the sense that often fighting guys who come to survive can make for a **** fight. Dave Ryan will come to fight (which in turn, could make us see the best of Saunders) and recently has become something of a success story.
Can someone inform Bradley that he isn't a big banger he is dog **** with no defence and stiff with no sppeed
I worked with Bradley for a short spell and although he is a offensive fighter his defence is very good, listen you don't do what he did in the unpaid ranks and not have a decent defence sorry mate ya wrong
You can't argue with the guys reasoning though, at times Saunders looks very sluggish to say the least, and I'd say if he decides he goes to war, then who knows... He may have the fire power to starch Ryan, but if he chooses that route - it won't be an easy night, at all.
