Based on his performance against Kambosos, Hitchins is a threat to all the top guys. Kambosos had his moment five years ago but he's still a crafty veteran who tried hard. Nevertheless, Hitchins just steamrolled him and looked good doing it. That jab was brutally effective and I was pleased to see the power behind the left to the body that put Kombosos down and out.

Great win and nice performance by Hitchens. Everyone who knows the sport of boxing had picked him to win. He is a future star in this sport.

Also, Good effort by the tenacious but limited George Kambosos, Jr. He tried and did his best to win but the better man won.

Now as far as Teofimo is concerned; He is bitchmade. Why is he calling out Hitchens when there is a much bigger fight on the horizon to fight Devin Haney?

This is a the ultimate duck. Haney must be that good for him to be pricing himself out in order to fight a guy for much shorter money.

Devin is a very risky fight for Teo and he knows it. Which is the reason why he is avoiding him by demanding $30 million in order to fight him.

Those two don’t have any other options other than Hitchens. However, it would be better if the two were to fight each other because neither would stand a chance of defeating Hitchens.

Impressive performance by Richardson Hitchins, and excellent knockout. This fight stylistically was always going to be a very difficult fight for George Kambosos Junior, as Hitchins is a similar styled fighter to Devin Haney but with more power and a superior offense. I would back him to beat Devin Haney next if that fight was made 'But I would still make him a underdog vs Teofimo Lopez'.

I think Richardson Hitchins and his team need to target the biggest fights soon as possible 'Because I just sense that he is not going to maintain this form for very long at 140 pounds. The only reason why? I would make him the favourite vs Devin Haney currently, is because I believe Haney's form has decreased considerably since his brutal and controversial loss to Ryan Garcia. A loss that does not go down in his record, but even still Devin Haney would have experienced that loss inside the boxing ring. Which would have had a traumatic effect on his competitive nature as a fighter and well being'.

Note: Now would be a good time for George Kambosos Junior to retire 'He has mostly maximized his ability at 135 pounds, achieving great wins vs Teofimo Lopez. Kambosos Junior also has only lost to World Champions, much like Frank Bruno. Kambosos Junior was best fighting version of himself at 135 pounds, his main attributes being his overall fitness, combination punch ability and tenacity. Moving up to 140 pounds during this latter stage of his career, was most likely the right move to make if he was struggling to make the 135 pound weight limit in his best condition. But as a fighter the best attributes in his game where not evident at 140 pounds, when competing against naturally heavier fighters with more experience fighting in the division. Overall George Kambosos Junior has had a great career, I have admired his competitive nature, and passion to win no matter who he was up against on fight night'.

To conclude: In regards to Richardson Hitchins, there is no point in going easy in his up and coming fights 'I think he needs to be matched in the biggest fights possible. So those are fights against Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez. If Eddie Hearn and matchroom want to be a bit more measured, then if they really have to? Pursue the fight against Devin Haney first, as stylistically I honestly think this is the most winnable top level fight for Hitchins at 140 pounds. If none of those fights are available there is always a big media fight against Ryan Garcia if he is still wanting to continue in the sport' etc.

Great performance by Hitchins! He has a great jab, but If he can be a bit more consistent mixing it downstairs as he does upstairs and mix in a probing jab from time to time to set up better openings, he’ll be a nightmare for anyone at 140lbs.

[Carpe Diem]

Hitchins is definitely a more composed and polished boxer than Haney. He needs to start talking his way to get the big fights.

[BlackRobb]

Hitchins, Lopez, Devin and Ryan would all be FOOD at 147.

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves with the Hitchins situation
They all talk a big game but when the bell tolls they seem to be nowhere to be found
