Chris Billam-Smith v Richard Riakporhe.

I think the fact that Whittaker landed cleanly so often last night and didn't manage to knock his fairly average opponent out is quite worrying. It suggests he may not carry that KO power. His last two opponents he has failed to KO. He's got 5 KOs in 8 wins.

You compare him to someone like AJ, who knocked out his first 20 opponents and his first UD was against Joseph Parker. For Whittaker to be a big ticket seller and to create lots of hype on his journey, he really should be explosive and knocking out these average fighters, until he steps up in opposition.

 

My #1 though, Fitzy, is on the way back going off his training. .

And I still have Bivol.

 

Really have to take your hat off to Billiam-Smith

In my opinion he’s by far and away the most improved fighter in the UK. He’s dragged every single ounce of ability out of himself by working his nuts off day in day out, McGuigans done a brilliant job with him

 

Didn’t know he was that price. I was meant to look because I wanted to bet on Smith but I forgot. Silly me.

 

Bivol is very impressive, I loved it when he beat Canelo. Him v Beterbiev is going to be awesome.

 

Did fancy a bit on Massey too but I don't like to rate a boxer off his losses, think he opened about 15/8

 

In all honesty, a mild fart would have knocked over the first 18 opponents.
