POLL: Who Will Win In Buatsi Vs. Richards and How Will He Win?

[Cypocryphy]

I've been a big fan of Craig Richards for awhile now. He gets the short end of the stick all the time, unfairly. I think he's going to derail the Buatsi hype train this coming weekend. I think stylistically Buatsi is going to have a hard time closing the distance and could get frustrated, which might lead to him barging in and getting dropped. Richards can really hit.

How does everyone think this fight is going to go?

Rooting for Spider too. Hopefully, he can upset the applecart.

Fingers crossed. He's a great guy, talented, and I like to seeing that Cinderella story in boxing. To be fair, Buatsi is a cool guy too. May the best man win.

Buatsi stops him late I think

Definitely a good possibility. He keeps his power late. Is he still with Virgil Hunter?

Think buatsi will win a close fight on points. May be a touch controversial

Agreed. Buatsi by points in a less than spectacular win.

Neither are that good, although I think Richards is a bit better than he often gets credit for, and Buatsi not as good as he gets credit for, so maybe a decent fight.

I’m going Buatsi, maybe stoppage. I always have this assumption Richards is chinny, I don’t know why because he’s never been stopped.

Buatsi will get whooped when he truly steps up. He’s so stiff too, I’ve rarely seen a fighter with such a stiff back and no head movement, like he’s made out of wood. I still think he might get past Richards though,

Wow! Only me and YMR are picking Richards. Incredible. People thinking the judges are going to be biased or something? I'm telling you now that Buatsi has some serious bad habits, one that's really bad. Buatsi keeps his guard down, especially his left hand. I'm telling you now that Richards is going to come over the top with an overhand right that's going to drop Buatsi. I can see it as clear as day. I guess we'll see.
