Ryan is the former WBC welterweight champion. He defended his belt four times after winning it from Young Corbett via unanimous decision in February of 1895. "I feel great at this weight and look forward to this upcoming fight with the champ."
Champion: Harris Martin 24-0-0 (16)
Standing 6'0 weighs in at 150lbs
Martin is the current undisputed WBC middleweight champion. This is his third title defense after winning the belt via technical knockout over Peter Newton in December of 1895. "I plan on leaving tomorrow night with my belt and as the undisputed pound for pound champion. Ryan was a good fighter at welterweight but now he is stepping in with the big boys."
Tomorrow night these two men square off in what should prove to be the most exciting fight in the history of the H.O.B.O. The winner will not only take home the WBC belt but will most likely be named the pound for pound king.

This should be a good one early, I look for Ryan to take over in the later rounds though.
