    It really is dire. I'd favor literally any top 15 light heavyweight in Britain to move up & school the lot of them, even old man Ajisafe.

    Riakporhe > Okolie. Give him another chance Serge, he's not that bad, the way Massey fights forced him to hold too. Massey smothers his work, and gets in close. Riakporhe isn't really an inside fighter, so he needs his mid-range distance if he fights those type of fighters he'll probably always hold. Okolie always holds regardless of the style. He's awful.

    I didn't call it a robbery, I thought it was a poor decision, Massey won a lot of rounds, the KD wasn't a KD and they said as much on Sky.

    RiakPOOR held continuously and that alone should count against him in many close rounds and he should have had a point or two taken.

    It was terrible refereeing and in my opinion poor cards.

    I expected more from Riakprohe.

    A fight between Massey and Matty Aksin would be nice.

    Well he shouldn't be allowed to hold ffs, you should get deducted points or DQ'd for that much holding.

    I know in the USA you wouldn't get away with that

    My bad, I thought you were insinuating it was. Massey is boring af too though bro. He just throws weak ass punches 90% of them which are missing. He was also initiating a lot of the holds by smothering his work. I think a draw would have been fine, or 115-113 either way, but no way would I want to see that fight again.

    Yeah but Massey initiating a **** load of holds too. Obviously towards the end when his nose was gushing out blood, he was initiating it more. But Massey held a lot too. I don't know why everyone here is acting like it was all on Riakporhe.

    Ngabu would KO Riakporhe. Granted he might have done the same to Okolie had the later not been allowed to deplete his gas tanks and demoralize the **** out of him by hugging him to death all night. That being said, I think CBS would've stopped Riakporhe in the later rounds had he not had his strength and stamina sapped by Riakporhe octopus grabbing him to death and leaning on him all night too.

    I do think the last couple of rounds they were nearly as bad as each other.

    Some rounds it was absolutely all Riahkpore

    The round of the Kd was absolutely shockingly bad he had about 5 last chances

    That's what I'm saying. Richard was definitely worse as Massey was smarter about it, but he held so much too. While Richard would just hold like 5 times in a row making it obvious lol. Thing is, Riahkpore has been in some fun fights, and I know by Massey's style he's an awful bore, rather watch Riakhpore again than Massey. I'll probably will never have to watch Massey again. Though honestly he does deserve a rematch since it was close, but ****, that would be awful.

    I was almost off his bandwagon after the CBS performance, but I held out hope that that was just a fluke. Clearly it wasn't, so **** him, he's a bum.:deal:

    I cannot overstate how crappy Riakporhe is. Those who didn't see the fight - and in particular the couple of guilty parties that claimed Riakporhe was the goods - don't listen to ellerbe's (lone, tellingly) desperate trolling counter-narrative, and don't just come in here and batch-like all his posts in some misguided instinct to avoid dissonance and double-down on your stance that Riakporhe doesn't suck. He does. :deal:
