    You can forget it, he's already made up his mind.

    Says there is "nothing controversial" about the decision and "who cares what social media or television thinks?" Says "if you like boxing, Vazquez is the man and if you like pressure, Ritson is the man" and that "it was a tough fight to score" with "a lot happening on the inside."

    Judges have been given a pass by the BBBofC.

    If that wasn't controversial I honestly wonder what could count as controversial.

    Also whatever the **** Ritson was doing wasn't pressure.

    Though tbf, Eddie said he thought his man lost.

    Probably Smith didn't get the memo...

    TBF to Hearn he has pretty unequivocally called this out.

    The BBBoC are just a joke. Incompetent and corrupt the whole body needs tearing down and starting again with a completely new set of people running it.

    Saying there's nothing controversial about the result =/= saying anything whatsoever about the wide scorecard in particular that had everyone's knickers twisted. Smith has managed to give a pointed non-answer to a question nobody asked knowing full well the specific issue at hand.

    The British need to pay better people to run this commission. I suggest fining more people for thought crime, as that's proven to be a good source of revenue for the BBBC and the UK at large.

    These board members refs judges etc are all best mates , the old boys club like the PFA in English football . There all in it together , they all scratch each other’s backs. Did we expect anything else from Smiths mouth ? The whole organisation is corrupt from top to bottom !
