I don't blame Akkaway for taking the fight at all but he was clearly not ready as you said yourself and those around him probably should have known,especially after getting a lucky hometown decision the 1 time he did step up against a faded former world champ. Fighting the mediocre opposition Akkaway fought in his 20 fight career obv did him no favours,which is what i was talking about when matching our fighters with better quality opposition and better sparring,i'm not sure how you or anybody could possibly disagree
Better sparring? He was a regular sparring partner for Canelo so I am sure his team thought he was ready for Ryder. Like I already said he simply just isn't good enough, he had some of the best sparring in the world and he couldn't even compete with a fringe contender.
Overall sparring for all our fighters you idiot,I know he got sparring with Canelo etc and look how much that helped,I rewatched that fight not long ago and Akkaway was like a deer caught in the headlights getting exposed badly in front of large audience which is probably a big reason he hasn't come back.

You can't even have a civilized debate without resorting to name calling. After being in multiple camps with Canelo he should have been more than ready for Ryder and a lot of people were picking Akkaway to win. At the end of the day it shows it didn't matter who he was sparring with he just simply wasn't good enough.
I can have a discussion with anybody including those i don't like and don't have issues with many people on here other then scumbags and those unable to show me a basic level of respect i give them. You like to reply to all my posts in here with negative trash that usually has nothing to do with what was originally posted,including this idiotic discussion stemming from a positive post about the future for boxing in this country that you pathetically start an argument from,simply because you have reading comprehension issues and are only interested in being a smart arse
You go on like you are some well credentialed expert yet you can't even answer simple questions. Now I am pretty sure that you picked Akkaway to beat Ryder?
"Yes and No" In response to that same question he posted that on social media yesterday. Hope that helps
It's amazing there has been no opponent named for Lucas yet, honestly there should be plenty of local fighters lining up to take him on, he has slipped a fair bit, or maybe he is not taking them??
