I thought CBS could have defeated Riakporhe in their matchup. Richard was gassed after a round or two and it was beyond me how the ref allowed him to grab and hold constantly for the remainder of the fight. Numerous warnoings but no points deducted. That being said, CBS had his moment and didn't take advantage.

I imagine he will blast out Thorley in this one.
