Comments Thread For: Tommy Coyle Keen On Facing Lewis Ritson After U.S. Debut

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former Commonwealth lightweight champion Tommy Coyle is keen to face current British champion Lewis Ritson at some point in the future. This week Coyle, 28, relinquished the title he won from Sean Dodd in April. The (24-4, 12 KOs) Hull native now looks set to make his American debut, a dream of his, in September.

The only chance Coyle has is to catch him in the first 2 rounds like cardle did. Cardle didn't have the power to really hurt him though but I would expect a quick stoppage victory for Ritson.

Hatton was waylaid by 2 P4P in USA

After he beat Dodd, all the Sky TV people were saying ‘I hope Coyle retires now’. Now Coyle is setting himself up to be brutally KOd and nobody bats an eyelid.

I really like tommy coyle. Very honest man and aware of his limitations however I think the Ritson fight is pointless. Coyle is the definition of a domestic level fighter and Ritson has shown he’s beyond that. I wouldn’t begrudge him making a bit of money though

Tommy Coyle wants to retire on that big, Northeast derby payday. He would lose to some of Lewis Ritson's recent opponents.

Tommy Coyle is only 28 years old. That's madness. I thought he was reaching mid 30s. Seems he's been getting punched in the head for years.

They said Ritson will fight again in Newcastle at the end of the year. I could see Coyle being the opponent.

Bit of a pointless opponent for Ritson really in terms of levels but Coyle has a bit of a name on the domestic scene. Ritson has had a big year, so it'll be a fairly easy fight at the end of the year in front of his home crowd.

I hope not, don't need to see Coyle demolished. Hopefully Ritson is past this level of opposition by then and is fighting for a European title so we don't have to see this

If Coyle wants a piece of the action with Ritson then why the hell did he relinquish the Commonwealth title? Without a title on the line, this is a complete waste of LR's time & talent!
