The Rhodes comeback as such has been great to watch, but i really dont see what he's actually done to deserve being such a big favourite(2/9 on) against Vuma. There were alarming signs in the second half of the coyle fight of the old Rhodes. not seen Vuma for awhile, but he seemed to be a pretty solid fighter in his win over mark thompson, albeit a very inexperienced thompson. i favour rhodes if he can keep his concentration levels up, but theres gotta be some value in a punt on vuma at 11/4.
Perhaps because he has never lost at 154? I see him a pretty solid favourite in this one, and like his chances of doing something at 154 - as long as he don't fight Vernon Forrest.
There are more dangerous fighters at 154 than Vernon Forrest. I struggle to see where Rhodes is going to get a belt to be honest. He would have had a sniff had Phillips still been around, but he'll be dethroned by Williams.
he might not have lost at the weight, but he looked pretty beatable against coyle. and he didnt beat any real names at the weight in his glory days back in the mid 90's either.
