    Why does Hearn and DAZN bother with the fights?
    They should just announce the results at the weigh in.

    Froch might beat Smith with a decent training camp.

    Good on Johhny Nelson. Fair play not towing the Sky line.

    The average age of these judges is like 70 or something. Something really needs to be done about this. It's the worst sport for this sort of crap

    Also, the commentary on Sky.

    Disgusting!

    In the 11th they didn't even acknowledge Smith was hurt until his legs almost gave way

    John Ryder is a fantastic fighter. Very skilled, fights the small man's fight like few others today. I respect his effort and will try to emulate him myself. What a bloke. He better get the recognition he deserves, easily a top 20 fighter p4p with that kind of performance against a very good fighter.

    Ok, I completely missed the fight but what I see on here is shocking. Ryder apparently was robbed by the judges is all I'm seeing? Was it that type of robbery?

    Lots of people I reckon had never seen Ryder box before. He’s absolute class one of the best pure boxers in Britain and he’s not even a full blown Super mid.

    Robbery of the worst kind it was 8-4 for Ryder, could even have a good argument for 9-3, one of the worst robberies I have ever seen

    And to think he nearly packed it in. Eddie Hearn needs to get behind him and get him another world title fight.

    Yes. It was that type of robbery.
