I think Rhodes could have his hands full in this fight. The last time Konecny lost was by MD to Sergiy Dzinziruk over 2 years ago. So who wins and how?
Good fight, Konecny comes forward all night behind a tight guard and throws combinations and then back behind the guard, he is not hard to hit despite this, as when in his guardmode you are fairly safe to unleash a few to head (if you can get through) and body, without fear of taking anything outrageous in return. The only worry is he will almost certainly be there for the full 12 rounds and Ryan will need to be super-fit to keep him off in the later rounds., Rhodes ud pts 115-113 or 116-112 type scoreline for me.
