John Ryder Vs David Lemieux

I'm not too sure, i really like Ryder. Probably gave BJS the toughest fight of his career outside of Akavov. Although thinking about it, he'd likely want to get inside and meet fire with fire with Lemieux, and with Lemieux's power and short arms, i can't see that being a good idea

 

Tough fight for Ryder. Can't see him getting stopped but struggle to see how he wins here, he hasn't got the style to beat Lemieux on points.

 

Big fan of Ryder. He needs to make it a really ugly fight and smother Lemieux, doing all he can to stop Lemieux creating that little bit of distance he needs to bingo his opponent...but in turn needs to do the same himself. Difficult to see him managing to stay away from a big shot for 12 rounds though or beating Lemieux to the punch.

 

This isn’t a good style match up for Ryder. His style of inside fighting plays right into the distance that Lemieux loves to be in himself.

I have really enjoyed Ryder’s recent performances and he is one of the most improved and exciting British boxers out there at the moment, but I can’t see him winning this one. I can see him outlanding Lemeiux and winning rounds. I just can’t see him being able to stay on his feet and not being stopped at some point.

 

Ryder is bigger and a better boxer by far. Don't write him off!

 

I'll take Ryder, he is very effective at smothering on the inside, think people are writing him off here and Lemiuex is moving up a weight.

If its anywhere near evens for Ryder I'd take that.

 

13/8 Ryder

 

Early odds has Ryder as 13/8 compared to 4/9 for Lemiuex. I think they are fair odds. Lemiuex may be moving up but Ryder himself has only had a few at SMW and is a career middleweight, they are very similar sized and with the extra muscle Lemiuex is even more dangerous.

Hope Ryder does it but just cant see it.

 

Lemiuex smokes him for me.

 

Agree with career middleweight but he's had his last 3 or 4 fights now at SMW. All his best performances have been at SMW. I think he's a good price to beat Lemiuex personally.

 

Gorilla's in the camp!
Sorry, just felt the need to up the until now non-existent cringe level in this thread.

I'm favoring Lemmy in this bout, but Ryder does have a decent chance to upset the Canadian.

 

Lemuiex struggled badly to make mw think it may benefit him ,good fight for both guys but think lemuiex to win by ko in 6

 

Same outcome as the Sullivan fight, just more drawn out

 

Lemieux via brutal KO
