Comments Thread For: John Ryder Rallies in Second Half To Shock Daniel Jacobs By Split Decision

[buddyr]

I told yall Jacobs' career was over last year. he's gone hollywood.

[ShoulderRoll]

I scored it 6-4 and 2 even for Ryder.

Of course you did.

Shameful judging, so much bounced off Jacobs gloves and shoulder and elbow, Ryder smothered his work the whole night, Jacobs got at least 8 of the rounds and what he landed clean you could in a 5 second highlight reel.

[sportbuddha]

good thing no foreign boxers ever get robbed in the US..... oh, wait


but on a serious note, why is every 7-5 or 6-6 type fight labeled a robbery? Disagreeing on 1 or 2 close rounds does not constitute a robbery.

8-4 Jacobs would have been a bigger robbery than a 7-5 split either way

This wasn’t that close, it was messy at times, but you’d struggle to find many frames with Ryder landing anything clean, flicking jabs is not it.

You always need a knock out to get a draw in England if you are a foreigner. You have better chances in Germany

strangely enough, jacobs is now the lineal 168 champ since ryder beat callum smith and jacobs beat ryder

[TinAgeOfBoxing]

168 still a trash division.

I just hate that you can predict the outcome of fights before they happen. Just depending mainly on where they happen. Really sucks. Maybe I should start betting on fights though. Seems like it's all too easy to make money.

"Seems like" being the crucial point, my friend... This last fight was a classic example of betting logic being thrown to the trash bin. Even in betting, we now have to consider where the fight happens more than the fighters' features.

Jacobs is finished! Ryder is trash! Morrell Jr. will destroy him!

[tokon]

Ryder earned an absolute shalacking had the hands of Morrell..they actually did him a disservice..but it's the WBA they flip, they flop, they have Champs, semi-champs, quasi-champs, and the coveted Interem champ status...Do you know which one he was in line for? I

Ryder was ordered as a defence of Morrell "regular" wba title, wasn't he? It never progressed from there and just seemed to fade away, with neither side or the wba pursuing it. Why, I don't know but I agree with you that the fault probably lies with wba and their ridiculous multi-champ status. Thanks.
