OK gents, just the one this weekend and to my mind a real tough one to call. In theory Jacobs has the pedigree and John's the one with some losses might make you think he's a level below but things really ain't that clear cut. Johns losses at 168 - to Fielding and Mundo - are both widely regarded as - ahem - 'poorly judged' and Danny ain't exactly covered himself in glory since moving up... in fact you could make a decent case that he deserved an L in his last outing against Gabe nearly 15 months ago now. The rumour mill's suggesting Danny;'s heart is only half in the game at this point and the long layoff can only hurt him, whilst John has fought twice since Jacobs last stepped between the ropes, picking up easy wins although not at any great level.

So which way to jump? Well that's the point of the game isn't it?

Let's just say I personally wouldn't be the slightest surprised at the Ryder win - and I wouldn't even go so far to call it an 'upset' in spite of the bookies odds having Danny the marginal favourite. Damn close to a 50/50 fight for me... big fan of both these dudes but I'll be rooting for John in this one as the hungrier fighter. If anyone deserves a bit of fortune after getting the shitty end of the stick a few times it's Ryder... one of the real good guys of the sport. Ain't gonna say I've soured on Danny but it's harder to root for a guy who doesn't seem to give it 100 any more.

Anyways... one to look forward to.

best of luck gents

Gun to my head I’d go Ryder but I definitely think there’s value in the draw this weekend.
