Ryder is game and boxing smart in the 5th. The rounds are close and Smith is the better when he let's his hands go but Ryder does better in the round.

3-2 Smith
Callum is struggling to impress here. I think when he is not motivated and scared of his opponent he does not do well.Quote:

Ryder is doing really well, I expected him to come to fight but I thought that Callum would have took control before now, much tougher night for Smith than I was expecting.
Must be because Smith is so scared of Ryder ;D
Ryder making it really uncomfortable for Callum in the 9th who complained to the ref about the head clashes which is not a good sign.
I have Ryder winning now.
5-4
Smith boxes well to win 10th round controlling the distance and tying up Ryder when close.
5-5
Fucking hell! Great round from Ryder, Smith was out on his feet. All the credit goes to Ryder here. Fuck knows what the last round will bring!
Ryder could pull it off this round. Come on
Both fighters letting their hands go in the 11th and thrilling fight now. Ryder back in front!
6-5
I reckon they’ll give it to Smith or a draw, but if I was Ryder, I would feel hard done by. Superb performance from Ryder, slightly disappointed in Smith.
Ryder won’t get the decision and if it’s just by 1 or 2 most then fair enough.
Tough last round and close give it just to Smith but Ryder has done better than anyone expected.
6-6 draw.
Too wide for me.
Callum must be weight drained and too big for the weight.Quote:

wasn't that wide, Ryder deserved a closer score card than that
Not surprised by the UD win but fuck off 117-111
117-111 and 116-112 x 2 were too wide.
Smith sounds disappointed with his own performance, rightly so as well, he didn't look good
Smith just said that there was no fear tonight
@Master disagrees
So I was right, he was not scared of his opponent.Quote:

To be fair to you, Callum Smith said exactly what you were trying to say.Quote:

On another point, I would fucking bang that Anna Woolhouse big time! One of them pundits must be smashing her! Which one?
I read Masters post the same way that you did, only re-reading it I get what he meant.Quote:

And yes, Anna was looking lovely as usual
Typical trash scorecards
F-ck me, did they read the cards the wrong way? I had Ryder winning 116-112. Fantastic effort, unfortunately the A-side gets special treatment again. Ryder has been on a great run and full credit to him. Did I overrate Smith or did he just have a bad night?
Bad nightQuote:

But in my opinion Ryder should have been the winner .☹️
Smith looked flat maybe he needs to move up to LightHW not Smith's finest hour one of his luckiest no doubt.
Ryder was up for it I was thinking this was a easy fight for Smith far from it.!
Alvarez would destroy Smith
Probably his next fight then. Boxing is a sad sport nowadays.Quote:

He has no chance of holding him off if they fight.
If Callum Smith was facing Canelo he would be fully motivated for the biggest fight of his life.
Smith would bring in the form that destroyed George Groves and beat Alvarez.
Saul knows this and will never take the fight.
Everyone underrated Ryder, he always gives everyone a tough fight and has been "robbed" a couple of times before, fighters like that never get a break because they have no fanbase.
Like Master said, motivation was obviously a big factor for Smith, he's struggled like that before in supposed "gimmes."
Ryder deserved to win yes he has been robbed in the past but that's boxing.Quote:

Props to Ryder for what the vast majority feel was a victory
