    Thought the ref (as he was in Whyte-Chisora 2) was dreadful and allowed Riakporhe to spoil by excessive holding.

    Thought both fighters looked pretty poor, Riakphore constantly looking to hold but landed some eye catching shots. Billam Smith hands are painfully slow and didn’t look to have much snap behind them.

    This is where grey areas come in, but I would imagine you could put those two lads in another half dozen times and the outcome would be the same. I don't believe Riak has any imagination, but he is strong. Smith has RTD'd many of his opponents but could not get to or bother Riak, regardless of boxing.

    Got my money on Dereck with a late round knockout.

    That doesn’t matter though boxing is how you win rounds and that’s what he should have done. I think another different times with a better ref would be very different.

    Agree to disagree :beer-toast1:
