Can't think of who.

I'm pretty sure that there was a little Mexican or Argentinian that he made real hard work of and I'm sure there might have been another one or two as well

Callum is struggling to impress here. I think when he is not motivated and scared of his opponent he does not do well.

Ffs!:rolleyes:

Respect then.

Ryder doing really well here, but I expect Smith to start moving away in these last few rounds.

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.

wasn't that wide, Ryder deserved a closer score card than that
