Ryder was a f*king warrior to night, much respect yo him

[bengolfs]

John Ryder has nothing to be ashamed of. He fought his heart out and nobody would have blamed him had he quit on his stool. Sometimes you don't have to win to be called a champion. Thanks for a great fight, John.

Superhuman effort from John Ryder, he’s certainly done his career no harm with that battling performance against a lb for lb great.

Total admiration for John. Eye of the tiger for sure. Rocky spirit.

One of the few British fighters with heart

[JamJam]

Did the best out of any of the brits & showed the world that he wasn't just some body bag.

Did better than plant, BJS, Smith & many others.

Well done Ryder!

Hey Ryder I just want to congratulate you for your pre and post meek and humble behavior! As Mexican enthusiasts I want to say you outperformed your countrymen’s and you have earned much respect in my heart! Keep chins up and I truly would like you to develop some kinds of friendships with Canelo and the two of you can share knowledge and understanding of each uniqueness boxing styles!!!

[warpedspeed]

What a valiant effort, Mr. Ryder! Where men like C. Plant, BJ Saunders and C. Smith were stopped or KOd, endured pain, shed blood and even got better as the fight went on! Gorilla! 🖖

[ericcruz]

Never seen a Ryder fight until tonight, I’ll be tuning in going forward!

[alexreid]

Couldn’t have asked for more than to go over seas in the champs hometown during his homecoming on Cinco de Mayo then get up from two knockdowns and go the distance. Tough as nails. Well done son 🥊🙌👏

Ryder is a damn WARRIOR, And he had some really good rounds and won quite a few, he also marked up canelos face… Ryder is TOUGH AS NAILS

[Scribble]

Well done John you're a warrior.
The scorecards were bollocks.
You deserved to have at least won 3 rounds and 1 or 2 even possibly.
Huge respect from 🇮🇪

[franciscog]

Mexican American with all my family in Guadalajara, I got to say props to him respect. Really good fight.
