I expect big things from Hitchins. He one of them ones. He don’t look spectacular and that’s why he gets downplayed but he is a solid technician and despite what people think Kambosos is no walk in the park. He is a bit more than gatekeeper status. The winner is definitely looking at Teo at best, Matias at worst but there are a lot of fights that can be made with fighters from 135-147.

Kambosos has developed his lead hand a lot the last few years, uses it at extension more, but Richardson is like a foot taller than him with what like at least 8 inches reach advantage? If he boxes smart he can have a pretty easy day at work, gets reckless and Kambosos gets a chance with the counter, his major attribute.

Keyshawn's Dad is on the undercard, I'm excited to see him go to work.

this nikka not focused, but focused at the same time...


Agree, interested to see where Hitchins is at after winning the belt off Paro in impressive fashion.

Logic says he beats Kambosos purely off physiological attributes and strong fundamentals, but if he has been feeling himself too much since the win then we might see an upset.
