Martin Murray-Gabe Rosado/Fielding-Ryder - Sky Sports 22 April.

Not sure what this fight means (apart from boosting the winner towards another title shot) but Hearn, going way over the top (or maybe not), called it a possible best fight ever. Now Rosado is a Gatti-ish fighter, however, he's not as good, doesn't possess an equalizer and never wins a big fight.

Murray has never been a tear-up merchant, he's a hard-as-nails, fundamentally solid fighter that knows how to look after himself. Unfortunately he doesn't possess any fireworks, so like Rosado loses all the big, big ones (unlucky against Serg/Felix). Murray is back down to middle after feeling a million times stronger at supermiddle... until Groves duffed him up.

Anyway - good matchup that will be full of claret, busted boats and ooohhs and ahhhs.

Good undercard fight too for the British title. Ryder was impressive - for this level - against Etches, winning easily (unless you was listening to Richie Woodhall, who must have been half-cut).




Martin Murray to 'hang up gloves' if he loses to Gabriel Rosado | Boxing News | Sky Sports

Rosado is a tough kid and will fight anyone. This could be quite exciting if both guys go at it.

Dracula's wet dream

12 round decision for Murray

its an interesting fight anyway, i'm looking forward to it

Murray will be stronger at the weight but will he be better? GGG gave him a beating as did Groves. Murray is hard as nails but can he get back to world class and all roads lead to GGG.

There are still a few domestic and fringe level fights I'd like to see Murray involved in.

Murray - PTS
Ryder - Win (3/1 Pts)

Roughly 4/1 double

They keep selling this fight as Gatti-Ward so they're gonna get loads of stick when it's anything but. Murray's not the type of fighter to batter someone into submission even if he's got them beat, and Rosado isn't a puncher, so as long as Murray isn't affected by coming back down in weight should get a safe PTS win being the "home" fighter for once (Rosado is way overrated to me - cool guy though).

It's gonna be a nightmare for Ryder to get past Fielding's height and reach - plus Fielding has a decent dig - but Ryder is neat a southpaw that's held his own against some top fighters and pulled off a couple of upsets. 3/1 PTS.

Ryder fielding is interesting

in my mind fielding is a good few inches bigger than Ryder

I might be wrong tho, the closer they are in size the more chance ryder has of winning, ill have to see them next to each other before I make my mind up

Ryder looks like a midget next to Fielding

I'm still not sold on Fielding. Ideally he should win here but Ryder could surprise him.

Cordina pro debut 4 rounder on now

Cordina will win this easy he looks ok

Aguilar just taking a beating, he is game.

Cordina beating the opponent but may survive to see the last round

Just as I say that he is stopped

I was watching Nurse has it got better?

It has defiantly picked up but still not great.

OK some good punches now, only because it is the last 2 rounds

Gone to the cards and Dodd gets it by Ud

The last few rounds got a little scrappy, but in the middle rounds it looked a proper tear up. 117-113. 116-112. 117-112 for Sean Dodd. Thought Appleyard did quite well but he loaded up after shaking Dodd, and didn't properly adapt once Dodd got into his rhythm. Bellew was giving more to Appleyard than I did, but I quite enjoyed that.

You made me look at this fight and lost interest in the Nurse fight.

Interview by both was fun

Fielding v Ryder on now

The height disparity is even more the Nurse v Hughes.

Maybe I was spoilt by the Williams v Smyle fight but this is not entertaining at all

So Jamie Cox is with Matchroom now. Interesting. I knew he and Warren had parted "mutually", let's see what happens now. He gets the winner of this fight and to be fair as long as he doesn't get into any bother, he's one of the most talented guys in Britain.
But trouble does have a habit of following Cox around. Fielding is bigger than Ryder, but Ryder has got loads more nous.

Fielding is ahead but Ryder is giving him a tough fight.

Big 10th for Ryder.

I reckon Ryder's ahead, although I haven't been watching it real carefully. Although he's the smaller guy , he's forcing Fielding back and has more menace in his punches.

Don't see how Bellew gives that 12th round to Fielding.

Ryder came on strong those last few rounds. Bellew is a terrible scorer.

He won't be keeping that belt long.Cox will beat him .

I think so too.

Just spotted that Rosado was Bellew's opponent in Creed. Reckon they'll hug post fight?

Good contest so far both showing respect for each other

Yup, don't know much about Rosado, but he's giving Murray a few challenges. Decent fight.

3-3 after 6.

Accidentally disliked your post but thanks for the score as I have lost track. They are interviewing Saunderson the other side.

I'd have it 4-4 after 8.
