    Haha. Our youth football team was cheated of a cup win by a home ref who sent two of our players off when we were 2-0 up. Our manager bought us all trophy’s with “cheated not defeated” engraved on them ha. Also paid my fine for being sent off ha.

    I didn't write it down as I went along I#m afraid, just kept it in my head. I gave Smith 2 of the first 4 I think, not that that's much use to you

    Disgraceful. Poor Ryder. Won’t get a rematch either.

    Strange thing about the fight was that it seemed an easy enough one to score

    You must be very new to boxing.

    It was a robbery, but there have been far, far, far, far worse ones, by friend.

    Hearn/scorecards have got a roasting in the comments section on his Instagram post relating to the fight. Anecdotal evidence I know, but it usually gives a good indicator on how the masses viewed the action. It’s the first time I’ve seen Hearn receive such a backlash following a fight .

    Its more the conplete bias in every fight they pick a favourite even on wilder undercard the figueroa vs ceja fight no matter what ceja did well they picked a negative or excuse or praised figuroa .

    Andy lee usually is decent thouht he was terrible. Also fact scorecards are so bad and they ignore it completely


    . The fans arent stupid

    I knew the robbery was coming when Smith said "It's one of those fights with so many close rounds that means you can end up with a scorecard wider than you'd like to see."

    For the record I don't think it's corruption in the terms of Spud O Connor getting a brown envelope with 5 large for every round he scored to Smith, however it's clearly corrupt in the way surely these judges know they won't be booked for a Hearn show again if the go against the home fighter. Not that I'm a massive Warren fan (I think of him and Eddie the same way) but I don't seem to remember as many big robberies on his shows. One notable example was Degale, the "house" fighter losing a tight decision against the unfancied Groves.

    Worst robbery ever. Jesus. Have people not seen mossley v mora? Bradley v pac?
    A close fight.. i had smith winning by 2. No bias i was excepting him to win comfortable instead Ryder from mid rounds on pushed hard.
    Gallacher etc are getting dogs abuse for the way they have reacted to a supposed robbery...but it was far from one.. no wonder they are pissed .the 117 card is total nonsense but the right man won for me.. people need to dial down the robbery crises people are at it after every fight.. boy who cried wolf and all that

    Good. One way or another the people responsible for these calamities/corruption need to be told the public aren't aa stupid as they think.

    Andy Lee (who didn’t have a dog in the fight) had Smith by two.... it was a close fight with many close rounds and the hardcore fans cry robbery after every fight. Imagine the first Lewis/Holyfield fight happening in 2019.... twitter would have committed suicide #snowflakes #outrageculture
