Anyone got any input on this match? On paper, I can’t imagine Riakporhe losing. Odds are juicy at -230 for him to outright win.
Well I’m guessing on paper that why I’m curious as to what you all think. Smith’s best win was over some bloke ranked 277. Riakporhe’s was against a guy ranked 50.
Thought he was awful against Hyde. He has power but not sure he’s got good fundamentals. I’ve heard he’s fighting Glover next if he beats Billiam-Smith.
I thought Riaphore looked sensational against McCarthy who put up a good fight himself until he got hurt. He stuck to the game plan and demonstrated serious power. I cannot see past Riaphore via TKO KO in under 6 rounds in this one.
Did RR get into boxing late? What's his amateur background like. Looking forward to this one, hope Hearn and Sky don't put it on too early in the night.
Don't think Riakporhe is particularly good really, but he's like Okolie in that i think he'll always find a way to win
I think the more experience under the lights Riakporhe gets, the better we'll see of him. I know for his first big televised fight, he was really nervous and tense which reflected in his performance.
