Chris Billiam-Smith vs Richard Riakporhe - Peacock - Fight By Fight Thread

I just meant I was in the car, my GF was driving pal Good decision. I was going on what you said.

Riakporhe was out of gas early in that fight which was strange. I’d like to see a unification fight for Billam-Smith against someone not named Opetaia.

Drunk drivers kill people. Idiot. I just meant I was in the car, my GF was driving pal

Missed the main event as I was driving home after getting pissed drunk. Disappointed to hear it was such a bad fight and that Riakporhe put in such a bad performance. Cong**** to CBS though, who is a fun fighter, give him a homecoming defense in Bournemouth against Massey in what would be a ****er of a fight. Bring the Midnight Train back in a winnable fight against a domestic guy like Zorro or Watkins and then elevate him back to Euro level. Geared up for the Tank and Matias cards now, let's rock! :boxing: Drunk drivers kill people. Idiot.

I think we need to give Riakporhe a little more grace. He was completely gassed from the end of round one. Either overtrained or as someone else suggested - weight drained. When he stepped on the gas, there was nothing.

Premier boxing champions YT channel, it’s posted in the Tank-Martin thread Thanks. Weird, I couldn't find it from the main PBC YT channel under "live" options.

where on youtube? I'm not looking in the right places apparently. Premier boxing champions YT channel, it’s posted in the Tank-Martin thread

Magsayo-Ramirez starting on YouTube for the split screen watchers . Lol where on youtube? I'm not looking in the right places apparently.

Last round of a championship, maybe his only ever shot, what he has been building towards his whole career. And he’s still clinching, not throwing punches. i’m still in disbelief, i had my reservations about him at the top level but this just compounded those thoughts. he will massively rue this performance when he watches it back

Riak looked like a drained fighter ,not seen much of him and would gladly never watch him again

The cards were oddly close. WTF?? They must have wanted CBS to lose. That should've been a WIDE points win for him. The fight wasn't even close.

Two professional judges saw that as a 7-5. Incomprehensible.

Judging by the comments, I'm glad I missed the fight. CBS/Okolie was difficult to watch too. Can Turki please make CBS/Opetaia?

Great performance from CBS, but my word Riak was disastrous tonight. That was such a poor effort for someone chasing a world title in their city with the ‘home’ advantage.

Christ, how on earth could they come that close to a robbery?

Riak was headbutting more than he was punching and he was holding like an octopus from the 2nd round on. With all his illegal tactics he still got his azz whooped.

Blahhhh.. But congrats to CBS :boxing:

I wonder how many times the ref has patted Riakporhe on the head
