Really don’t think Richards needs to take this fight. He’s a fighting man and won’t back down, but he’s being set up to fail here.

This is really Frank Warren style match making and he should be going in with a gatekeeper next.

So true

This is rediculous. Richards is Commonwealth/European level. I was hoping for Spider Vs Lyndon Arthur & Bivol/Beterbiev!

It’s more Matchroom than Warren tbh. Reminds me of Johnson being fed to Beterbiev.

I'm alright with it. Bivol is supposed to be out again in June against Zurdo so a tune up is fine.

Or John Murray - Brandon Rios
Or Liam Smith - Canelo(more about the level of competition who Smith had fought prior)

At least Smith was a world champion and getting a life changing payday. I can completely understand that one.

Murray fighting Rios coming off the Mitchell loss was a mad one though. That fight basically ended his career.

At least he’s fighting again, I don’t have a problem with Bivol basically getting a tune up but I just wish it wasn’t Richards. Think there’s some good options for him domestically. I can’t blame Craig for taking it whatsoever though.
