Comments Thread For: Ohara Davies Breaks Down, Stops Lewis Ritson in Ninth of WBA Eliminator

[deathofaclown]

To be fair to OD, he's only ever lost to Josh Taylor. A man who went on to be undisputed. He has a loss to Caterall on his record but most that saw the fight thought he did enough to win and Jack went on to be the only man to ever beat Taylor, despite what boxrec says.

RItson was never really in the fight and that shows Davies is a level above. Be interesting to see if he can win a world title now the belts have scattered

I thought Catterall beat Ohara, 7-5 kind of fight. It was definitely close though. Although we should also mention Ohara got a gift v Vasquez. He admitted it himself.

Either way, I’ve always liked Ohara. He’s a character and been in some decent fights and can score some good knockouts.

But I think to win a world title at 140, he’s going have to be pretty lucky to land the perfect fight, considering the division has a lot of good fighters that will be looking to get in positions for a world titles.

I don’t think he’s good enough to compete with Taylor, Prograis, Matias, Ponce, Barboza, and quite a few others.


Ritson is done in my opinion. Obviously he can continue at domestic level, but even then I reckon he’ll end up a domestic gatekeeper for better up and comers.
