Paddy Donovan vs Lewis Ritson Prediction: Paddy Donovan prepared for some punches showoff

The fight between Paddy Donovan and Lewis Ritson is a main card event in the Taylor and Catterall Rematch to take place in Yorkshire. This is a Welterweight professional boxing bout, which fans can catch up with live on Box Rec, Matchroom Boxing, and also on ESPN.

Paddy Donovan has never lost a game in his professional career, with a fabulous performance and a fantastic record of 13 wins and 0 losses and draws, all in the Welterweight division. 10 of his 13 wins were knockout victories. His first career fight was against Arturo Lopez in 2019, when he won with an early knockout in Round 1. His recent fight took place in January 2024, when he recorded a knockout win against Williams Herrera with body shots and follow-up punches, winning the fight in Round 7.

Making his debut in 2015 with a decision win against Kristian Laight, Lewis Ritson had a 17-year winning streak between 2015 and 2018 before losing to Francesco Patera in his last fight in 2018. His other two losses were through knockouts against Jeremias Nicolas Ponce and Ohara Davies in 2021 and 2023, respectively. Lewis Ritson has an impressive record of 23-3-0, with 13 of his victories through knockouts and others being decision wins.

This battle will not be determined by an age factor, which is why the oldest fighter is likely not to win. Although Lewis has more experience than Paddy, Paddy is likely to win because his unbeaten record will be a source of motivation for him not to lose at this point in time. Moreover, it’s been a year and two months since Lewis had his last fight, and it was a loss against Ohara Davies. Someone like Lewis does not have chances against Paddy Donovan, who still fought in 2024, recording a knockout victory against Williams Herrera. Also, given the fact that Paddy is very good at punches, I think this bout should be a knockout victory for him.
