What a load of crap

Canelo will be fighting him soon .easy work for him.

[smiling assassin]

That leaves a very bad taste again.
we should be talking about a cracking fight instead we are talking about incompetent judging again

[IrishGuy]

I had money on smith, hedged out. Ryder should of won that.

[keithmoonhangover]

Call won that fight clearly by 2 rounds. Robbery my arse.

Well, John Ryder came in to fight 100% ready and 100% hungry. He turn his short height and reach into the advantage over tall oponent. On the other side, Smith did almost everything wrong. Some good jabbing, but you cannot win elite fight with just jab. His clinching was so ineffective. If you can clinch right way, you can take a lot of steam from such a short oponent. Plus, everyone know uppercut is your friend against short boxer. Smith did not used any uppercut, instead of that, he missing wild hooks in short range. If judges give this to Smith, it would be robbery

[polecateddy]

At least when Richie Woodhall ‘decisioned’ Glenn Catley back in the day, he was honest enough to admit he didn’t do enough to win the fight.

[BigGar]

Close fight (I had Ryder by 1) but 117-111 to Smith is ridiculous.

[bigjack]

Ryder won that

[Ruthless-RKO]

116-112 Ryder for me

[Freedom]

The two judges should not be paid, disgusting.

[skanksta]

It's not Smith winning that bothers me, it's the sense of inevitability, the wideness and Terry O'Connor.
If Smith nicked a close one, fine - but that stinks.

[jlh]

Close fight but 9 - 3 is a disgrace. I am getting fed up with some of these scorecards.

[Tugger28]

Fxcking disgusting.......

[ShadrachSimmo]

That far pudendum O’Connor gave Ryder 3 rounds? He won the last 3 rounds at least.

Smiths a deluded gimp. Talking down Ryder. What an arse.

If Smith nicked a close one, fine - but that stinks.

My thoughts exactly.

[Black Sam Bellamy]

2000 in the Echo Arena and they want Anfield.

[Betro09]

Judges should be banned from this sport.

[IrishGuy]

I thought ryder won it quite clear, to the extent i wussed out of my smith bet. Smith went odds against in the 12th

[Twinkle Toes]

Never been sold on Smith and this doesn't change my mind. Hopefully some of the hype dies down about him now.

You'd have to fancy Saunders against him.

[Elpidiphor]

Ryder is the most robbed british boxer of 21th century. with Saunders (though that fight was pretty even) and clearly Arnfield, Fielding and now this

[Stuarty]

I had Ryder by 2. They scorecards were disgusting. So was Andy Lees card and i like him! Fuckin raging!

[Ruthless-RKO]

Another week. Another bullshït BrItish decision.

[rd350lc]

Disgrace , why even bother with this corrupt Sport .
Ryder should be the new champion .
They must have judged it on Gallagher's Oooohs and aaahs

[paddy chavez]

Smith just looked like a European fighter from the 80s stand up straight jab he'll get destroyed by canelo

[Ruthless-RKO]

The scores were 117-111, 116-112, 116-112.
