The fight is over Mcguigan should not even had replied but it is so true. Richard wins easier this time

I'm not mad on CBS as a fighter. If I hear the phrase "skills pay the bills hen I don't think of CBS. He's a good fighter with a lot of heart but he has taken a lot of punishment but I don't think he's anywhere close to shot.

What Riakporhe said isn't wrong. CBS has been in alot of violent wars and his defense isn't the best; He's been tagged clean plenty of times. Punch resistance usually gets cracked at some point and Richard hits very hard.

I don't think CBS is shopworn at this point and I thought he did enough to win their first meeting. I'm curious to see how CBS handles Riakporhe's power (and CBS will get tagged clean), if Chris handles it then let's see how Richard's stamina is in the later rounds.

Looking forward to this one.

Riakporhe sounds like such a snowflake. If CBS has had too many “hard fights” then Juan Laporte should sue boxing for inhumane working conditions.
