Should be a great fight. Step up for Buatsi, and an opportunity for Richards to show his performance against Bivol last time out wasn’t a flash in the pan. He pushed Bivol really close - the same Bivol that just beat Canelo.
I don’t know. I’m not sure with Richards. I think he’s almost content to lose well without gambling to try & win. Buatsi’s been frustrating for me. He was exciting in the Olympics & I thought he’d be must watch in the pro’s but he’s never built any momentum in his career & is well behind someone like Lawrence Okolie as a pro despite looking far better in the Olympics. Hopefully Buatsi looks to make a statement & Richards brings it but I would’ve surprised if Buatsi’s a clear winner on points in an underwhelming fight.
Babic vs Balski was a real (in the words of Jim Ross on WWE) slobberknocker! Been a decent card this. Much better than the Fury Whyte card last month.
Joshua Buatsi stance looks like the perfect boxing stance to me. Good to see the youngster fighter giving Richards some in the ring too.
