Chris Billiam-Smith vs Richard Riakporhe - Pea**** - Fight By Fight Thread

WAR Midnight Train and Up the Palace!!!!!

Supporting CBS, but I'm well-disposed to the Eagles

[MulaKO]

War Riakporhe

[deathofaclown]

Strange fight to predict with both fighters having tendencies to blow hot and cold, looking great at times and going missing for whole rounds otherwise

I'm going for Riakporhe.

I don't think he's a great boxer, more of a power merchant, although he's getting better as a boxer...but I didn't like how easy CBS was to hit in the Masternak fight last time, even though he turned it around. Riakporhe is more dangerous than this version of Masternak. Smith has to be much smarter to tonight or he's going to get cracked.

CBS is very tough though, no doubt but unless his defence is much tighter tonight then I think Riakphore will get to him.

We know CBS can go to the trenches though, if it ends up that kind of fight then we'll see what Riakphore is made of.

both are inproved fighters conpared to their first fight

1-1 after 2, momentum swinging towards CBS in the second.

How do the other cruiserweight champions stack up to Jai Opetaia? Besides CBS I haven't seen them fight.

[Butt stuff]

Riakporhe making it ugly.

[mlac]

RR doing a good okolie impression with all the holding. CBS looks incontrol

[gingerbreadman]

CBS looking to do a budget Andre Ward job and work either at long range or in close. Fight's hinging on Riakporhe's activity level, and with him being a musclebound gunboat I can't see it looking great for him unless he lands something fight-changing
