No one beats canelo period. smith lookd easily hittable. ryder hit his body all night. imagine if it were canelo.

I have no choice but to register for this forum tonight after 15 years of reading this website. Tonight I saw an honest pro with 4 losses, who has had to work hard for etverything in his career, just go into the most avoided fighter’s hometown and bully and beat him even after giving away 6 inches in height and reach.
I am heartbroken!
To hear Andy Lee’s commentary and to hear Tony Bellew (who used to be the ‘realest’ boxer) totally embarrassingly side with his hometown compatriot totally buggered belief!
I hugely respect and admire Eddie Hearn for how he has changed the game of boxing but I have lost respect for him tonight. To not publicly call ‘ foul’ on this robbery/cancer can only make him guilty by association if not more.
I have not cried since my father died 7 years ago, but I was close to tonight, not by the verdict (which totally angered me), but by the sheer class of John Ryder. He was still so gracious in the face of what can only be called a crime and assault on his livelihood, his kids, his family, his legacy and a Canelo payday that would have set his family up for generations to come.
Shame on Boxing!
Tonight was John Ryder’s coming out party and tonight he is our spiritual new Ring champion, WBA champion and no. 1 super middle weight of the world.
Tonight I am even ashamed of myself because today I witnessed yet another felony and as upset as I was, I would have done what I always did, complained to my wife vehemently, but I then would have gone to bed. Today I chose to do something about it, even if it was just to register online to this forum to speak out. Let us all stand up and be heard in order to fight this disgusting cancerous trend.
And to John Ryder.. on behalf of every ETHICAL boxing fan, scribe, boxer, promoter.. may I thank you for your dignity and crown you as our new Champion. May this be the catalyst for greatness for you from here on.

Every time is a damn tragedy for someone, man, and you get simlilar bullchit - if not usually quite as egregious - almost every week somewhere in the world. Sorry state of affairs.


But what is there to do? Voice your concerns of course, as you have done with some passion. Vote on the polls here:

https://www.boxingscene.com/forums/s...d.php?t=830606

so at least the people who pay attention to the scene got an idea of who the fans think the real champion is. And maybe if you do social media, get on that as well.

Btw Fielding the one canelo easily beat decisioned ryder.

[robbyheartbaby]

I didn't see the fight but boxingscene scored it 117-111 for Ryder so the decision stinks f*** boxing sometimes and this corrupt s***

Just because Ryder did much better than expected does not mean he won the fight.It was a very close fight but no robbery.

[sledgehammer17]

No, he didn't

[STREET CLEANER]

Canelo might take the Smith fight for that easy UK money.

[GFunk23]

Smith looked terrible. I thought he would have got Ryder out of there within the distance but he really struggled and those scorecards were awful.

[sledgehammer17]
