Lewis Ritson vs. Cyrus Pattison

You sure it’s happening this October? I thought Pattinson would fight Conah Walker on August 19 in Birmingham and the plan was to make the Ritson clash next year.

Anyhow it’s a great fight and another piece of brilliant matchmaking after Pattinson’s FOTY contender against Chris Jenkins. I think Ritson is too small for 147 so I would say Pattinson on points.

Could be too early for him though considering he has never fought past 10 rounds. Would be a great headline anyhow.

 

Pattinson looks as though hes taken a lot of punches, mainly at amateur id guess but wouldn't be surprised at what's been said. However Ritson has had his day. Ive gone Pattinson points on the undercard of a big Newcastle bill.
BTW can anybody tell me about Pattinsonsd amateur career. AS far as I know he was GB without achieving too many honours. Could be wrong though.

 

Can't see October though. Prepared to be wrong. Is there a big bill coming up? Dont see it as headliner.

 

Thanks for that mate. A bit of inside info is great. Otherwise we are just speculating. 2nd best to the brothers I can definitely see. However I think it's the fashion now in all quarters to predict big things for ex amateurs who have done well in international competition, until they've really done anything in the pro ranks. Fingers crossed for them, they could achieve big things.

 

Although it was a very entertaining, it’s bad news for Cyrus that he had to go through such a close and hard battle against a shot Chris Jenkins.

Good matchmaking against Ritson- I expect him
to win well, possibly by late stoppage as Lewis is ready to go and I can’t see him coping that well at the higher weight.

 

Ritson ain't no 147er. Cyprus on pts.
Shame that Ritson never fulfilled that early potential he seemed to have when he was clearing out the domestic scene at Lw, I've always liked Ritson and rooted for him in any of his fights.

 

Is Ritson going to move up a weight class every time he loses now then?

 

Pattinson is a quality talent, speed, skills and power. Definitely been impressed with him as a pro so far. He'd be too good and too big for Ritson imo.

People used to rave about Scott Fitzgerald on here after his win over Fowler. But you can see a video on youtube Pattinson vs Fitzgerald in the amateurs where Cyrus looks a level above, schools him, and like Fitzgerald made Fowler look slow, Pattinson made Fitzgerald look slow!

(Alarming and surprising if he's really slurring his words though)

 

Don't like talking about fights that haven't been confirmed, but if Pattinson beats Walker in his own back-yard on Saturday with no trouble, he will fight Lewis Ritson which will headline a card in Newcastle on November 11. That would be a big fight for Newcastle. Also a great run for Pattinson fighting Jenkins, Walker and Ritson this year. I'm surprised Pattinson is taking such a tough fight less than 3 months before the planned date. I wouldn't be surprised if the planned contest gets delayed until next year.

 

Cmon now

You always talk about fights that haven't been confirmed


Ritson will lose this at that weight

He has not progressed one bit since his first loss

 

I haven’t for the past few weeks. I even didn’t make a post about Wood vs Warrington or Cameron vs Taylor II.

I agree that Ritson is too small for 147 and will lose. Pattinson is inexperienced though. I rate that he is moving quickly.

Hearn said that there will be a show on September 30 headlined by a World Title fight which the October Red interview will like apparently. I wonder who it is. I hope it isn’t a female fight (not being sexist).

Edit: Apparently it’s Ellie Scotney headlining. Disappointing headliner but some of the other shows make up for it.
