Welcome to 90.9 Sports All Day, I’m Maximillian Bucks and today we will be discussing the career of Ryan Ratha and what his future may hold. I’d like to start with how successful he’s been so far and whether there are any challenges that lie ahead that may slow him down a bit. Of course, I’ll be opening call lines later on for the faithful listeners who want to share their input. For now, let’s talk about Ryan. Ryan has been training his boxing skills since quite a young age, and honestly everyone can see that it has been paying off. He had several bouts lined up for him as he started out and none of them seemed to even bring a challenge. Ryan’s manager was even asked by John Devit’s manager for a bout that would pit a young hopeful against an established powerhouse. John Devit has already made a name for himself and quite frankly has been unstoppable lately. Normally this would seem unfair that Ryan is so young and inexperienced, but John must not be paying full attention to how Ryan seems to be dominating his opponents. I may be in a small minority when I say this but I fully believe that Ryan could make John regret proposing this fight. Ryan’s fighting style is unique enough that it makes preparing difficult even for someone like John Devit. Ryan’s father was actually a very successful boxer as well and Ryan shows glimpses of his father’s fighting style, but Ryan’s father had a tragic accident that took his life while Ryan was still an infant. That is one of the mysteries of Ryan’s style. I find myself asking how Ryan developed such a similar style to his father even when he never had a chance to train with him. With all of that said, I truly believe that John Devit is making a terrible mistake underestimating Ryan Ratha. But this show means nothing if it only includes my opinion, so this is where I will take the first caller of the day! Our first caller is…

For this story, I wanted to include Rama's battle with Vishvamitra with a sports twist. I wanted to show that Rama is connected with Vishnu but there's a mystery around why they are so similar.
