CBS is such a slick and defensive fighter, I can see him countering and switching stances all night.

[@jackbateman6331]

😂😂😂😂

[@Adam-uu5bw]

@@jackbateman6331Chris is laughing now Richard not so much got outboxed all night long 😂🖕🏻

[@joewhite22]

I did fancy Riakporhe to win but since Simon picked him.......

[@MJPno.8]

CBS has been tested, experienced having to really dig in when he has been in trouble, ticked the boxes, tough, determined and has a good chin. Not seen Richard Riakphore chin properly tested. I’m leaning towards the more tested CBS to retain his title.

[@jaykay3796]

Stupid to make them face off

[@IronboyeSportsTV]

CBS looks like John Cena

[@donjohnston6420]

More like Forrest Griffin

[@SamA-wx9zq]

I actually respect simon more these days his knowledge of the sport and he does hes home work too

[@RoadsideGee]

Jordan’s horrendous predictions continue…

Both bums and ducking Jai Opetaia 🤣🤣🤣

Richard is no bum dickhead

[@flizzy4645]

Chris get hit way too much if he don’t fix his defence going to be a long night for CBS

Security in the studio. Deary me..

[@francishughes2016]

Jeez, Catterall looking for 'beef' between them, when there is none, they both respect each other, but whoever wins, is just keeping hold of the belt until Opetaia wants it, he beats bothe of them, & Okole, & everyone else in the division.

Riakporhe has put in a lot of work in the bedroom with granny Madonna for this fight 😂😂

[@jayfernando506]

The 1st fight was very close, so u can't say u got his number . Should be fireworks, tho .May the best man win.i think cbs wins .I think he has a nasty streak he has found .looking 4ward to it

[@user-gy4dl6bh3g]

You’re smoking buj mate

[@kroxx2]

Just say U are biased towards him.. if I already beat u and dropped U..why can't I say I got Ur number? Gtfoh

@user-gy4dl6bh3g wish I was sir them days have gone I'm afrsid

[@G1806]

CBS does take a hard shift ,but he’s worked ,that kid has worked,he’s played to his strengths. RR is a more poised fighter but he can go to the cobbles if need be. Way I see it is this,someone isn’t seeing the end of the 12. My heart says CBS my head says RR and either are powerful possessions for the fighters,smart and heart get the balance right,you become World Champion. It’s repeating that balance and I’ve got RR catching him between 6-9,CBS takes a lot of shots and RR is stepping in on every shot 🤜🏼👊🤛🏽🇬🇧

@@francishughes2016 ok respect it ain’t like I’m a betting man or know any of them. Push and justifiable has come to shove “I reckon CBS puts too much into the first 6,7 and RR starts getting methodical and stops him in 10 ✌️

What stupid thing to do making them face off,it's a load of rubbish anyway,face off don't win fights,Jim White just embarrassed himself then 🫣

Be a different fight from 4 years ago think smith be switched on more see what happens may the best man win

[@tombuckton2335]

He gets hit far too much I think, was losing his last fight against Masternak

[@charlesh2003]

@@tombuckton2335 no fighters the same different styles now past fights don’t matter. Look at records smith has a better one this is Richard’s hardest test. But there both more Mature now be good fight think smith can win

[@tombuckton2335]

@@charlesh2003 both will have obviously made improvements in 5 years but Chris is still very hittable and has many of the same weaknesses he did back then, it’s never a foregone conclusion who wins no but we can only go off what we’ve seen from both guys and I weren’t impressed with Billam last time out he really struggled with Masternak who was past it and European level at best, I’ve been impressed with Riakporhe his last few fights I see he’s made a lot of improvements. I like Chris he’s an entertaining fighter and a proper gentleman but he should of never been world champion he’s nowhere near the level of guys like Usyk/ Opetaia it just goes to show how poor the division currently is

[@charlesh2003]

@@tombuckton2335 na I agree mate opetiea would beat the pair of them easy I think I know he had bredis but think pressure got to opetiea and what happened but got rounds in and felt he could have put his foot down and won if he wanted to. But opetiea beats them both. Yeah he struggled first defence nerves maybe. But yea smith does get hit and cut quite easy but I don’t think riakporhe is any good really

[@tombuckton2335]

@@charlesh2003 ye don’t get me wrong I don’t think Riakporhes elite either but I rate him more than Billam I just find it hard to see Chris taking as many clean shots against Riakporhe like he did against Masternak, he’s gotta have that defence a lot better but I’m unsure if he can make that improvement as he’s had that problem for so long now, think Riakporhes a lot more technically sound and has a way better boxing brain than he did for the first fight so will set the big shots up better and lead Chris into a trap

[@JBholmes420]

Massive fight lol. Meanwhile, America has the biggest card of the year. Tank and Benavidez. The levels are incredible

[@Leefoster10]

Tank fighting a push over Frank Martin is nobody who has no punch power

[@SR-fs2fd]

So massive that it requires the Haymon minions to promote it during fight week.

[@JD-re3cj]

What has that got to do with this exciting domestic British dust up for a cruiserweight world title?

[@thefiftyfour]

'Biggest card of the year' and you said that with a straight face 🤣

[@andrewcarson5850]

Presumably they're printing it on A1 size, because that's the only way it's the biggest card of the year.

[@pressupuk]

7/2 Billam Smith by points.

[@tombuckton2335]

Think Riakporhe beats him again maybe even a stoppage this time, Billam gets hit far too much and he was losing against Masternak, Riakporhe would of done a job on Masternak

[@pressupuk]

@@tombuckton2335 RR lost the first one irregardless of the scorecards. Many so called experts say the same thing about Billam Smith being stopped on Saturday..* really don't believe that will happen. RR is simply not good enough

[@tombuckton2335]

@@pressupuk I definitely disagree I thought Riakporhe won the first fight and the judges seen it that way too. I back Riakporhe to do it again but it’ll be more convincingly this time, I don’t understand where you came to the conclusion Riakporhe isn’t good enough? If anyone’s not good enough it’s Billam I’d say 🤷🏻‍♂️ Riakporhes made multiple statement wins in a row, Billam really struggled with Masternak who was way past

Great call.
