Though pleased at the victory, Davies said a personality change – inside the ring, that is – might be the bets way going forward if he is to progress up boxing’s greasy pole.

Super-welterweight Davies said: “I am, and pride myself on being, a nice guy, but maybe it’s time to stop taking my outside the ring persona into it.”

“I am not here to make friends and the lads I am fighting and competing with and all out to finish me.”

“It is time to start incorporating a more ruthless edge in my fights and trust me, its there.”

The fight with Puplauskas proved to be tougher than what Davies might have expected; he described the six rounder as his hardest to date.

Davies said: “What was meant to be a ‘warm up fight’ turned into a six-round war with a very game, hard and big kid who clearly came, not only to win, but to knock me out.”

“This was far from my best performance an it certainly wasn’t pretty but the only thing that matters is the win.”

“I had a couple of dodgy moments on the fight but I thought I did more than enough to get the victory and felt the scorecard was a little harsh as I had it a bit wider than one round.”

Davies added: “I always felt as though was in control for the majority and was outboxing him throughout the rounds, but he was always dangerous with his short, aggressive flurries and I got caught with some punches I shouldn’t have.”

“I was buzzed early on in the first round by a powerful right hand that landed straight on my chin, and I took his best shot! It shows I have a decent chin.”

“I will have a short break and then it is a case of moving up to where I want to be.”

The post ‘Ruthless’ Ryan vowing to change his ways in ring appeared first on Davies Boxing Gym.

He will appear at the Magna venue in Rotherham against an opponent yet to be revealed on a show promoted by Dennis Hobson.

Davies has won eight bouts to date, with one defeat.

Davies says this will be another important fight, with Hobson having plans for title fights later in the year.

Davies said: “I feel I am still under the radar a little bit, probably due to my unlicensed background, lack of amateur pedigree and also my one defeat (to Wiiliam Warburton) in 2015, so I will have to earn the opportunities that come my way.”

“This can only be done by beating whoever is put in front of me. I have keep my feet on the ground and make sure I don’t get complacent.”

“There are no easy fights, and I know my opponent will be tough and coming to win.”

“I have had a great year so far and this camp is going well.”

“Sparring and training is constantly being stepped up and I am feeling stronger, fitter and faster with every fight, every spar and every session.”

“The calibre of sparring has been second to none and has included Jack Arnfield, Scott Fitzgerald and Reece Cartwright.”

“Sparring with guys of this quality is only going to help me improve and develop.”

“The benefits of investing in my own gym are really starting to pay off now.”

“It really is a great place to train and we have forged some good relationships with other gyms and trainers.”

Topping the bill is Sam Sheedy against Andrew Camerson in an eliminator for the British and Commonwealth super-welterweight title.

Tickets are priced at £75 for ringside (with meal) and £40 for general admission.

The post TICKET DETAILS – 30/07/16 ROTHERHAM appeared first on Davies Boxing Gym.

He lost to William Warburton, of Atherton, in his fourth bout at the Magna Centre in Rotherham, losing on a stoppage in the second round.

Davies reflected: “I am absolutely broken-hearted. I will have to look at the tape to see where I went wrong but there are no excuses. I had a fantastic camp and felt at my best.

“I will have a good think about what’s next, but I would just like to say sorry to all the fantastic people who cam to support me.”

The win takes Warburton’s record to 15 wins, 74 loses and two draws, though he is better than the data suggests, widely seen at Britain’s best journeyman, as Davies now knows to his cost.
