What's your Billam-Smith vs Riakporhe 2 prediction? 🤔👇

[@sacredneutral7304]

Richard wins

[@kobir2729]

Richard talks a lot of sense. He has a lot of power and skills, and i think he will KO Chris.

[@drwolftickets7473]

well, he was talking sense until he got to the part where he said he'd knocked out a gorilla...

[@iffysd9864]

CBS getting sent to hospital

[@Yiealo6372jd]

Feel like you can never write off CBS

[@mikeyoconnell8720]

Riakphore beat CBS then dissapeared for 1-2 years. Billam has gone on to British, European and World (alright a shitty world title fight). Along the way he's had wars and 12 rounders. Riakphore has come back just binning people early rounds. Hopefully experience and several championship rounds banked Billam will stop this guy. (and mannnnnn does he waffle)

[@peternut358]

That’s a Domestic WBO champion. These British level CW won’t fight Opetaia or Briedis

[@emmawillis7823]

None of these boxxer guys want to talk about jai or fight Jai 👎

[@Leefoster10]

Raikporhe the fresher fighter . Cbs has had a lot of wars the last couple of years and looked like he was struggling in the last fight .

[@DeeTeaDee]

16:38 He makes this CRYSTAL clear that he is NOT tapping that GRANNY 😂

[@HisExcellencyB]

It's Madonna mate. Most would hit just to tell the story.

[@DeeTeaDee]

@@HisExcellencyB no mate….no

[@DeeTeaDee]

11:28 How the HELL is this not the video title???? 😂 Seriously. Bravo for not being like IFL and others

[@louduva9849]

Was he sparring Luis Ortiz?

[@DBCHeavyweightBoxing]

Richard Riakporhe brutally honest on his raw knockout of a gorilla.

[@d.b.cooper1]

Boxing News is a serious outlet. Shoutout the big man Rob Tebbut. One of few respected reporters from the Boxing Social days before it all went tits up and we ended up with guys like Parsons.

[@JD-re3cj]

Well that sounds like animal abuse

[@michaelashton4454]

Poor division bar Opetaia

[@Danmasonnnn]

breidis is good

[@sampenny6036]

Feel like CBS is selling his belt…. A side fighting “away”. I imagine he is getting paid well but feel it’s all in Richard’s favour for him to win and Chris is cashing out

[@Rooney8MUFC]

I don’t think he is. They’re both on the same platform so it’s an easy inhouse fight to make. CBS wants to avenge a loss and I suspect there will probably be a rematch clause incase he loses. Either way, Riakporhe is 34 and CBS is 33; time is running out for them both. Both are fighting for legacy and money.

[@sampenny6036]

@@Rooney8MUFC sure with CBS being the champion it should be somewhere that suits him?

[@unknownx2k7]

Madonna ?

[@ninjasrose1653]

He got a bit shifty with that Madonna question lol he’s definitely gone there. 😂 She was dating BDK in the 90,s so she like a black guy.

[@Joseph._odk]

Nothing to do with black. He is good looking regardless of colour. Dont be mad

[@ninjasrose1653]

@@Joseph._odk It’s not a detrimental comment.

[@iffysd9864]

​@@ninjasrose1653why mention race though.... makes you look inferior

[@jamesdepledge5823]

Smith should come out to a Madonna song. A real old one to show her age

[@rickisunak]

CBS always - has had proper tests. Richard got two close decisions against CBS and Massey then disappeared....CBS beat him first first too. I am biased though as I really don't like Riakporhe.

[@emmawillis7823]

Why don’t you like him?

[@Leew2oo6]

11:25 You did no such thing.

[@user-js3tz8wh1c]

Deluded and boring cruiserweight
