Ryder suffered a busted nose in the opening stages of the fight and was floored in round five with a right hand but survived to tell the tale.
He told Matchroom Boxing: “After all these years of boxing, it’s the first time I broke my nose.
“It was a new experience. Got back to my corner, towel in my face, just couldn’t breathe. There was blood going back down my throat.
“It was a new experience but obviously I’ve got a good calming corner, calmed me down.
“And then after that, it was just hard to sit down and get my breathing. So I was standing up throughout the rounds.
“Like I said, new experience, I felt I won the first two rounds quite well. I was boxing sensibly.
“Then I just got careless in the last second, leaned forward, and took that big uppercut.”
