Zhāng Zhìlěi vs. Deontay Leshun Wilder & Daniel Raphael Dubois vs. Filip Hrgović - Round by Round.

My gut feeling was telling me Hutchinson was going to not only pull this off but that he was going to stop Richards which didn't make any sense given past performances but I just couldn't shake him getting KO'd by a fighter with a hideous KO% and I thought Richards' tougher chin would prove the difference. Either way, regardless of who wins, Richards is just not that good and as I've been saying for years the Bivol fight flatters him enormously despite the fact it wasn't actually close.

Richards did very well against Buatsi and that's was genuinely close but Buatsi isn't as good as I previously thought he was.

Richards and many other Brits act like Richards is a world class fighter who is on Bivol's level but that's not close to being true
