Ritson

This city is cursed

 

Indeed.

I think I saw Diane Abbott with a pen, pad and calculator.

 

The other guy was fast and throwing 4 6 punch combos he wasn't able to hurt him.

Just when you think the city might get something to get excited about and nope.

 

Too big a step up call it what you want but I think he's just too one dimensional he got figured out.

 

Predictable. Punches. Amazed. Thought ritson was better than that


He tried the lad. Maybe a new better trainer. May help

 

Never mind mate, we might be getting a ferris wheel so it's not all bad.

 

I have to question the decision to fight him hrs fast and throws loads of punches possibly the worst style for ritson to face .

They thought he could just walk through him and wear him down

Stay away from rematch get better and come again

Seems a cracking lad I'm sure he'll still get fantastic support and come back well.

 

He looks a bit 2 dimensional and not having enough of an all round game but this fight could help him learn and come back better and stronger. Even still, the other lad is probably only European level. Totally agree about getting a trainer who coaches at a higher level to take him forward.

 

Is Benitez his coach?

 

Hype Hearn was hoping to cash on out newcastle fans too soon

 

I think it was just all hype if he's scraped through he'd end up getting sparked of a world level fighter .

Don't think he'll ever box for a world title he's not a big enough puncher to account for his lack of punches and hes not very fast either.

I sound like a **** I really took to the lad I really hope I'm wrong and I'll support him and watch his fights but that my opinion atm.


Gutted I bought into hype was excited at prospect of him in big fights

 

I'm the other hand I've just noticed he's fought 5 times in a year which is a lot.

 

I've had seven fights this year and won them all at a canter.
Mind you I'm a hard f*cker.

 

I did say the lad was limited and was worried he'd get found out when stepping up in class. So it proved and I think it was a bridge too far at this stage. He can go back to domestic level and work his way from there, but he needs a lot of work on his game. He reminds me of Stuart Hall a bit. Heart of a lion and can bang, but any sort of movement and slickness, he just looks poor.

I said early on I could see where it was going. He is not being coached right though because he was thinking those first 4 rounds were easy. He won them but there is having snap in your jab, then there is loading every jab so its almost a straight left. The corner should have been saying to use it as a disruption tactic too. His closing down was good but he didn't let his hands go once there.

I feel for Ritson. His destruction of domestic level has meant they've had to hurry him along. This has resulted in his weaknesses not being afforded time to improve. He was badly hurt by that body shot in the 5th, his arm never moved form covering it for the rest of the fight. He never threw a full blooded right from that round onwards for fear of getting hit there again. Probably cracked a rib.

Have to say I had quite a large bet on the other guy. When I saw the odds of 1/66 for Ritson, and 12/1 for the other guy I thought it was a mistake. The bookies must have had some really duff info, the guy was a previous holder of the belt.
