John, from the blue corner, came into the ring very confident and determined, but he was overpowered by Ryan who looks more technical than him, and he was beaten 5-0.
The judges awarded Ryan the fight 30-27, 30-27, 30-27, 27-20, 29-28 after he dominated John Brown with some clean jabs and body blows throughout the bout.
Despite losing, the Sierra Leonean boxer put up a strong resistance, landing some technical punches on Ryan, but it wasn’t enough for him to get closer to winning the bout.
Ryan has advanced to the quarterfinal of the boxing competition at the ongoing games.
The UK-based fighter had gotten off to a winning start on Friday when he won via a 5-0 unanimous decision over Alex Michael Isendi of United Republic of Tanzania in the light welterweight division.
