Callum Smith vs. John Ryder & Craig Gover vs. Chris Billam-Smith RBR.

I gave Ryder round 1 too.

 

10-9 Smith

57-57, EVEN

Ryder looked like he took a round off there, he needs to go back to the body, work a little more, he can't give anything away.

 

Smith getting Ryder a bit more here. Ryder does better when he is closer to stifle Smith.

 

Callum not looking good as expected. He still takes the W via TKO

 

Ryder doesn't win this on the scorecards either way. I have it 5-0 but close rounds. Liked Ryders clean work. Like smith this round.

 

Yeah, he wouldn't beat Canelo. Smith just isn't an elite level operator. He would've lost badly against the Calzaghe, Kessler, and Froch crop.

Here's a fantasy match up for you: Smith vs. the Pavlik of the second Taylor fight

 

4-2 Ryder

 

Gallagher's method of getting his fighters to just stand in front of his opponent with a high guard when he's throwing, and waiting for the punches to stop before returning fire - apart from being way too basic for world level fighters - makes no sense when Smith is 6ft 3ins and could lean back over his back leg with a less rigid guard and see the punches coming.

This fight is closer than it needed to be....

 

Smith just made an adjusment not over commit on that jab so he doesn't over shoot just tapping him.

 

5-1

 

Much bettter Smith round.

 

3-3

 

Beautiful over hand left smack on Smith face.

 

Size difference is ridiculous

 

Big round for Ryder

Tesco Joe doesn't teach the cuteness needed to beat someone like Ryder

 

4-3 Ryder.

 

Some of you need to apologise to Ryder. DKSAB.
