Respect to both guys, really looking forward to this one. Big up to Ade as well, great to see someone who started out on RU-vid getting these opportunities 👊🏽
@@snoochieboochies2165 the same one everyone else was watching. The reason why I see so many comments leading up to Canelo vs Bivol fight. Where the fan base was accusing Canelo of cherry picking Bivol because he was poor against Richards.
Great matchup & may the best man win on the night both deserve credit for their routes to get to this point in their careers gonna be a great fight can’t wait good luck credit to you both 😁👍👊
Good episode, this. Ade is a great host and it's been wicked to see him work his way up to this position over the years. I also liked seeing a bit of fire from Buatsi and Richards when they're both calm and mellow personalities. Intriguing fight.
This will be a very good competitive fight but I think Joshua Buatsi will come through it. Buatsi is the more aggressive fighter but Richards is awkward.
Thoroughly enjoyed this. I thought the production was great, the presenter (Ade) wasn't too over bearing like Johnny Nelson at times and both fighters looked confident. Spider is the superior boxer but i think Josh is a killer in the ring and his power/spitefulness will be too much for Craig
Richards done great against Bivol. Always followed Josh since the Olympics I like both their attitudes so big respect may the best man win... That Bivol win was the best thing that could have happened for their division Canelo was going back down if he won and would have made light heavyweights recieve less respect
My only issue is that spider always talks a big game but in the ring he’s so timid. He can be frustrating to watch because he doesn’t throw. Buatsi can exploit this
This is his last real shot at the big time. If he loses here it's domestic only for him. So he better not be timid this time. I know exactly what you mean though.
Big up man like ade! It's soo good to see him here. He's done so well, props to matchroom an dazn for getting him. This will be a good fight too, definitely buatsi toughest test.
This is like AJ vs Whyte at Light Heavyweight,The only difference is Spyder has alot of experience especially going 12 rounds with Bivol,It should be a good fight
Buatsi defo got a very mean side to him. Would be nice to win this and kick on, but don’t think he beats any of the champions right now. LHW could be best division atm though, need to get all these guys fighting each other especially the brits
Buatsi is the better fighter he has more skills and better resume, i have seen Buatsi fight in the 02 in big fights and he always performs so my prediction is Buatsi via Knockout LETS GO!🥊
Love to see the reality of buatsi when it comes to fighting. Comes across as a very polite and humble man whenever he’s interviewed, but clearly flicks a switch when he fights. Must win for him but that Richards performance v Bivol looks a hell of a lot better now doesn’t it
This is a good matchup... it's a good test for Josh... we will see where he's at with this fight. The division is very deep so I'm interested to see the outcome
Richard’s has come such a long way from that Buglioni loss … always been an underdog and has come through with some great wins, this is gona be a tough tough fight for Buatsi … can’t wait for this!!
Buatsi like AJ, says a lot without actually saying anything at the same time. Richards was definitely right about him being concerned about his public image.
Ade might be the best in the business at doing these face-to-face gigs. Infinitely better than Bunce or Nelson because he understands that staying quiet and letting the fighters talk is key.
This was a good face-off. Well presented. Ade's honesty really helped. Both men are ready to fight. I'm not sure if Craig managed to get under Josh's skin, but he tried. At this stage this looks like a 50:50 to me... 🤔🤔 maybe 52:48... in Josh's favour.
@@earfquake4556 lol ok I'll rephrase. Nobody Richards has beaten, would I be confident in to beat Bolotniks. Just don't like spiders narrative that he's more seasoned than Buatsi just because he lost to Bivol. Either way Buatsi wins comfortably for me
Craig sounding salty that Buatsi has has better promo. JB still had to win and grind.. JB mentality has changed since he’s been in the US, got a colder vibe about him now
Reminds me of Joshua vs Whyte all those golden years ago. I can't wait I would love to see Craig pull it off, but buatsi is just the level above in all departments!
Half way through and both of these guys are great. It’s a shame that one of them will lose. Both real credits to the sport. Would love to see both of these guys become world champion at some point in their careers. Let the best man win on the night.
Joshua versus White replayed by Buatsi and Richards. You went to to the Olympics and got the easy route. I had to fight my way through the tough competition. The real winner of this fight is the Fans. I don't want either to lose but I don't want a draw or any dodgy judges. The Fight Starts NOWWWW!!!
Either of these mens best chance to win belts at LHW currently, is to hope Smith somehow beats Beterbiev and then beats Bivol to win Undisputed 😂 or hope Bivol and beterbiev are in a tear up for undisputed and they can win a shifty SD back in England. Big gap between them and the divisions best imo despite Richard’s doing okay against Bivol who had a long time off prior to the fight.
I think Buatsi stops him late on. He's got the look of an absolute killer in his eyes! Richard's desperate to get a rise out of him and he weren't biting. I think Craig deep down is a bit shook!
Bolotniks wasn't a favourite lmao, he had 5 losses and wasn't even ranked until Buatsi's fight was announced with him weirdly lol. Buatsi media trained and protected just like Femi, talks in riddles and nonsense like him. 12:20 Richards exposed the Matchroom agenda properly there haha.
I like this version of Craig. I really thought Joshua had the edge in this fight, but the way how Craig is talking here, I think he could cause the upset. I respect these two for getting it on. We need this in the UK who is the best in the 175 division? We are so far from the answer and this fight edges us closer to that revelation. 🔥
Hey Josh, if the "talking doesn't do it", then what the hell are they sitting around that table for? Of course the talking does it.. it builds the story.. we want to know why these 2 guys are fighting. I hate when fighters pretend like it's all about what happens in the ring! No it is not! Otherwise no one is going to tune in. The hype/promo before the fight, is what brings in the fans. Hence why we have these promos and ceremonial weigh ins before hand.
