    Not seeing the robbery cries for this one. The house fighter predictably won in what was an extremely close fight.

    Sure, Richards didn't have a fair shake and wasn't gonna get one - but this wasn't a robbery. A draw would've been perfect, and a rematch would've been in order IMO, regardless of which way the decision went.

    Because he had a tough fight against a guy that Bivol had a tough fight against?

    That was a solid fight, both guys have solid chins, heart.

    I was rooting for Richards as an underdog, but they both did their best. Felt Richards could have been smarter. Would like to see Buatsi vs Bivol now.

    9-3 Buatsi. Buatsi faded hard in the middle, but recovered. Bivol next?

    Not a robbery in the slightest. Many people had Buatsi close.

    He did show he is a different class.

    Richards wasn't particularly impressive tonight IMO, it's just that he took over when Buatsi gassed himself out and showed he was tough, well conditioned guy. He's always been long and alert, with a good lead hand.

    Bivol washes and stops Buatsi IMO.

    Let's see a rematch down the road. Put Richards on the undercard of whatever title fight Buatsi gets

    Agree mate. I knew he would lose though as he's one of Hearn's children.

    Bivol won far wider than Buatsi did.
