    Hell... Callum Johnson, Anthony Yarde and Joe Smith Jr probably do as well.

    Richards upbeat and positive here considering. Fair play to him

    That was not a close fight, Buatsi was clearly landing the power

    It wasn't a robbery. But the scorecards suggest that Richards never really had a chance to win which is a shame as it was a close fight. In such a fight you want to see a split decision just because you want to see it wasn't completly fixed. As i said the 2x 115-113 were reasonable but 116-112 on top is just the confirmation a Richards W wasn't on the table!

    Another excellent British domestic level dust up. Much closer than the biased commentary team and Bellew had it. I told you guys that almost all these fighters who have taken Bivol the distance are very tough and durable but I didn't realize Richards was that tough. He fought a really dumb fight though. He stood in front of Buatsi way too much and he wasn't letting his hands go. When he did put his foot on the gas and let the go freely for a bit he hurt Buatsi and he should've done so more because Buatsi is easy to hit. Buatsi is very dirty with the low blows and on the few occasions when Richards gave him some back he was quick to cry to the ref which is a female dog move. If you're going to dish it out don't cry when you get some back, especially when you're far more guilty of the crime you're whining about.

    Bivol vs Buatsi? He wouldn't wear a robe to the ring, he'd wear a smoking jacket...

    Tony Bellew clearly went to the Ian John Lewis school of judging

    120-108, 119-109 maybe 118-110 at best isn't a tough fight.

    I thought the Richards that fought Bivol was more reactive and had more snap in his punches

    I'm not sure where Eddie is going to take Buatsi really. Belts are tied up with Beterbiev-Smith. Bivol's belt is tied up with Canelo. Bivol will eat Buatsi as a mid-afternoon snack.

    Bivol gets his 1st knockout win in 7 fights around R10 or 11 if he fights Buatsi next
