I hope I'm wrong but unfortunately for Richards, Bivol is levels above. He has shut out fighters already that are levels above Richards so I would be shocked if Richards even takes three rounds. He has a good coaching team behind him but i don't think he has the ability to stand a chance against Bivol.

Shakan definitely needs to be more controlling. I wouldn't necessarily say aggressive in the sense of always attacking but he needs to try & dominate the fight, using his height & reach. Against Richards he let him control the distance, control the pace the fight would go, control everything &, needless to say, having gifted Richards control Shakan lost. Shakan is young enough to bounce back but he has to learn from his mistakes. Another mistake was trying to fight back when hurt instead of clinching. Shakan could still do well but he has A LOT to learn

I don't give Richards a prayer. He beat Pitters but he looked crude doing it. I don't see that working against Bivol who is an extremely skilful fighter.

He any good? All I could really find is he's a 6'6 LHW who's fought a bunch of people I'd never heard of

I thought Richards looked pretty good v Shakan; he kept his feet moving, used angles, & controlled the distance. Obviously Shakan isn't Bivol, or anything like, but I can't agree that when he beat Shakan he looked crude doing it

Just another British lamb to the slaughter.
