Comments Thread For: Richardson Hitchins: ?New York boxing is in good hands with me?

[BoxingUpdates]

NEW YORK ? Richardson Hitchins may be returning home as a champion, but he never forgot where he came from. The man known as ?Africa? around the local New York scene is from Crown Heights, Brooklyn, to be exact, the cross section of Utica Ave & President St., between Rochester Ave. to be even more precise. It was in this neighborhood, far deeper into the borough than the higher rent Brooklyn neighborhoods like Williamsburg and DUMBO, where he first put on gloves at age 12 and began the journey that saw him go from the local amateur scene, to the 2016 Olympics and finally on to becoming a world champion in his most recent fight.

Put up or shut up kid. You can't talk big like this and then lose to Kambosos like Teofimo Lopez, Mickey Bey, and Lee Selby did.

He talks about everything EXCEPT fighting Matias, his mandatory. Dude is a true BOZO and is clearly scared of Matias.

Matias is no longer his mandatory, he is challenging Alberto Puello for the WBC title on July 12.

Matias is no longer his mandatory, he is challenging Alberto Puello for the WBC title on July 12.

Matias was his mandatory for months after he beat Paro. Hitchins never once mentioned Matias and would get real twitchy whenever his name was mentioned.

Hitchins was Matias's IBF mandatory, but refused the title shot, citing the IBF weigh-in guidelines, then fought for the title once Paro under the same IBF guidelines. How do you think Paro got the shot? Because Hitchins turned it down.

Don't rewrite history. Everyone knows Hitchins ducked Matias and is still ducking him.

I personally think Puello will beat Matias. That doesn't negate the fact that Hitchins ducked Matias.
