Lerrone Richards dominated a prolific knockout artist last night in Canada. Went to enemy territory, controlled each round and should’ve left as the new champ.
That was until the scorecards were read. Highway robbery here lads.
🚨 RICHARDS TO APPEAL RAMIREZ LOSS
✅ Lerrone Richards will be filing an appeal with the WBA regarding his controversial interim title split decision defeat at the hands of Albert Ramirez on Thursday in Canada. Richards will ask the WBA to mandate an immediate rematch.
🥊🇬🇧 F*CKING DISGRACE 👎
If you’ve yet to see this…Lerrone Richards won AT LEAST 9 of the rounds yet ends up joining the list of Brits abroad who’ve been totally shafted by shithouse judging
And still there’ll be no accountability whatsoever
People only scream on here when they think a British boxing ref/judge has been “biased”. Lerrone Richards added his name to a long list of British boxers getting bad treatment in an important overseas fight: He joins John Conteh, Paul Burke, Robin Reid, Nina Hughes. The bad ones.
Lerrone Richards robbed blind in Canada after clearly outboxing Albert Ramirez over twelve rounds. Hard to see how anyone could possibly give Ramirez more than 2 or 3 rounds. Even the 116-112 for Richards felt generous to Ramirez.
Disgraceful @WBABoxing@GilberticoWBA.

A fair crack is all we ask. No special treatment, no favours. Breaks my heart this one - Lerrone has been committed to this sport for going on 25 years. Competed at every level both amateur and professional, never made excuses always worked hard.
Had the night of his life stolen
This picture says tells u who really won that fight last night.
I’m absolutely devastated for @Snipertheboss - this morning he and his family should be celebrating the fact that he’d changed their lives.
Instead they’re all heartbroken.
Thanks to all that have spoke about the disgusting result of the fight & for the support for Lerrone.
He’s genuinely one of the nicest & most polite men u could meet & as his coach and friend, to see him broken in the changing rooms afterwards was heartbreaking.
I’m praying that good things do happen to good people & that another opportunity opens up for him so something positive does come from this disgraceful decision.
