I like Barker don't I, plus I've only really posted in the lounge for ages. About time I got in boxing mode seen as though this is a boxing site, makes sense.

Did you read my article mate?

:good

Not read your article, I'll take a look tomorrow (or is it a preview of one of tonights fights?)

Your 'Powerful Generations and Generating Power' article is my favourite one posted on this site. :choi

I can't remember seeing either of these dudes before, where would I have seen them? O'Kane was in PF, right?

Round 1: Ryder boxing the cuter early on, using his southpaw stance and quick jab to land the better shots early on while O'Kane comes in swinging. Ryder using the right hook and left uppercut inside to catch the less-experienced O'Kane. Ryder able to slip most of O'Kane's shots although he gets caught with the left hook as he holds his own left hand very low at times. 10-9 Ryder.

Round 2: O'Kane again comes out throwing powerful hooks but Ryder's able to smother most of his attacks on the inside, while countering and leaning in with his right shoulder. Ryder using angles much better than O'Kane who's standing very square on at times. O'Kane missing wildly with most of his punches while getting outhustled inside. 10-9 (20-18) Ryder.

Am I watching a different fight to the barn burner that Nick Halling is?

It's been pretty scrappy so far.

O'Kane will punch himself out at this rate. Ryder is settling into this more as it goes on.

Round 3: O'Kane comes out aggressive trying to apply pressure to Ryder but the Islington man is able to slip most shots and return with the superior work. O'Kane's busy but is missing with the vast majority of his punches. Ryder catches him clean several times and wins another round. 30-27 Ryder.

Round 4: Ryder once again boxing the much better fight and largely making his opponent miss. O'Kane attempts to wrestle inside but isn't getting the better there either. Another clear round for John Ryder. 40-36.

Aww nice one mate x

Yeah it's a preview to the Darren barker fight. Eddie Hearn retweeted it! Match room boxing too!

This action has been sweet so far

Not sure what O Kane can do now, he wither needs to switch tactics or really go out on it in hope that Ryder will start to fade in the last few rounds. Risky tactic and he'll have to commit now before the fight runs away.
