Heres me thinking you where a red wine drinker :D
you know i cant remember the last time i saw Rhodes fight, be good to see if he has anything left in the tank. :-\
i see Pele Reid is on the bill also i used to think he was gonna be the next great UK hope until someone hit him back :-X
Re: Boxing Showdown Nears For Woolcombe vs. Rhodes
I've seen Woolcombe come through the ranks over the years (mainly at the York Hall) and he's always impressed me and i can definatley see a young Calzaghe style in him every time,he can be patient when he needs to and works behing a decent jab and throws good combinations.
Great matchup and i see Hot stuff (Woolcombe) having too much hunger and skill for Rhodes.;)

Me too. He sure did have some hype around him. Julius Francis totally exposed him then straight away they chucked him in with Orlin Norris. Sickos. ;D

Well, another defeat and a huge setback for Gary Woolcombe tonight. Good fight and a good stoppage for Rhodes in the ninth....typically....I had him in the eighth by KO in the prediction contest. Balls.
