There really is no shame in Vegas when fighters get robbed over and over again by a guy named "Cheatham"
Richardson Hitchins vs Gustavo Lemos - DAZN - Fight By Fight Thread

All through the build-up, I just knew that Hitchins was going to regret all of the shxt he talked. He was clearly underestimating Lemos' capability, but a swarmer with power is simply a bad style match-up for him. I think Hitchins will find more opportunities against Matias because Matias' turns up the heat steadily instead of coming out gunz blazing like Lemos. Matias is less likely to tire down the stretch....and once Hitch starts wilting, Matias will pour it on him and break him.
I don't expect Hearn to keep it 100% about what he saw, but I know he's secretly hoping that Matias handles Hitchins if/when the time comes.Comment

I turned this off after the 5th round. Hitchinson got no warnings for excessive holding-on-for-dear-life and was being handled well by the guy who was getting warnings for a few supposed low blows.
But I knew which way this was going on the cards unless Lemos got the KO. We all know when they put their up-and-comer in with the "other guy", they expect him to win one way (with mismatched skill) or the other (with influence).Comment
