    Actually quite interested in this fight!

    Richards has a bit of hype, but Langford would be by far his biggest win!

    I do expect Richards to win but in a very competitive fight. It will be Volume (Langford) vs Cleaner punching (Richards).

    I expect Richards to wobble Langford a few times but think Tommy has enough guts to go the distance.


    Will be a very close contest IMO.


    Thoughts?

    I think Langford beats him. Richards hasn't done much in his career and this will be an acid test to see what he does when Tommy gets to him and starts letting his hands go. I think Langford beats him up.

    I think Langford is the better boxer, technically very gifted. I feel nevertheless he will lose to Richards as his punch resistance seems to have gone.

    Richards by late stoppage - this a good step up fight for him.

    Last time I seen Langford it looked as if his punch resistance had deserted him - but that said he still has a lot of heart.

    Be interesting.

    I have to go with Langford on this one.

    Only seen Richards fight once, and wasn't that impressed. Maybe it was an off night for him I don't know but the only positive things I've heard about him really have come from his own mouth in interviews.

    Didn't he used to brag about schooling Eubank Jnr in sparring a while back??

    In any case, going on what I have to go on, I'm backing the more experienced, and probably quite desperate Langford to win a decision.
