I'll always back the Palace man, c'mon Spider!

Hope Spider can win, not sure though.

He’s definitely improved since he lost to Buglioni and got a gift back in the day v Higgins. He had that draw too not so long ago. But he’s beaten some ok domestic fighters.

He can dine out a bit on going 12 with Bivol but the reality is that he’s likely just an upper domestic fighter. If Buatsi is above that level, he should beat Spider.

Hoping Spider wins but going for a Buatsi stoppage between 7-9

Just got feeling Buatsi gets to him and early

Rd 1 to Richards, Buatsi's big flurry at the end barely landed anything

[Citizen Koba]

Damn, had Spider winning up to those last few seconds... toss up now.

Buatsi 1:0

[PotentialToast]

Richards ducks low to his right which is asking for Buatsis overhand right

[BigZ44]

2nd to Buatsi, but Richards responded well after getting touched up a bit early, 1-1

[Madison Boxing]

buatsi looking great so far

[Citizen Koba]

umm. Gonna edge it to Richards more consistent 1:1

[YoungManRumble]

Keep that jab pumping Spider!

buatsi looking great so far

His very stiff back makes him pretty easy to hit sometimes but he’s very good on the attack


if Richards can make him work quite a bit and survive the attacks without too much punishment, he might have some success in the second half of the fight because Buatsi was gassed for a few rounds v Bolotniks when he had to work hard. But I have a feeling he’s going to get to Richards anyway


Watch Richards after he throws a jab, He always brings his left hand back much lower than where it came from and he is very open for an counter right over the jab if Bustsi can time it
