Heres me thinking you where a red wine drinker

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

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.

Reid is fighting Big "fat" John McDermott!!! Didn't realise that, for some strange reason this type of fight appeals to me

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.
