Ryan Rhodes vs Luca Messi

I'll go for Rhodes in 7 (thats a Boxrec'd prediction though, I can't recall having seen Messi fight).

 

I was going to go see this but the undercard is awful so.....I'm not.

 

I've seen worse, but it certainly isn't the best...i'm still going.

 

Yeah same as Gaz not seen any of Messi but his record isn't too sturdy.

Anyone else a bit annoyed with the EBU recently **** mando's & **** fighters fighting for vacant titles. Could be much better fights made. Also this isn't aimed at Rhodes as he deserves an easier fight after the Moore one im just talking on the whole.

Audley Vs Sprott ? Neither deserved to be in a Euro title fight.

 

Rhodes in the 8th I'm going with, looking forward to seeing him back in action.

 

Jeez if I knew some ESB lads were going I would have nabbed a last minute ticket...:-(

Pretty gutted now...

I am a huge Rhodes fan and the fight is very interesting but no real hard to call fights on the undercard....

 

Some good fighters on the bill, just as you say no hard to call fights, all should be fairly easy home wins. Its a shame the Murray Commonwealth fight got put back

 

Yes that was the killer for me...I enjoy undercard fights but you want at least a ciouple that are hard to call.

 

These old Italians that come over are **** and past it. I don't see anything in this guys record to suggest he won't be another in the long line of embarrassments...

Branco...Piccirillo....Messi

 

Branco was decent in his day, against Hatton he was well past his prime

 

That's what I mean..they were all decent in their day. They come over when they're shitty and old. This guy gets stopped early I bet.

 

I think it will take to just after the middle rounds, but once Rhodes gets in his groove he'll have him out of there

 

This type of logic sucks...but when its so glaring it sometimes just works.

Picirillo stops Messi, Moore stops Picirillo early, Rhodes stops Moore...doesn't take a genius does it. This guys been stopped at welterweight :-( Oh well, hopefully he surprises me.

 

I think there a better chance of Rhodes having a slight off night than Messi being competitive.
