is VIDDAL RILEY a BORING FIGHTER?! (Viddal Riley vs Mikael Lawal)

[@VIDDALTHERILIST]

Love my g.

[@AshTalkSport]

Congrats Champ!! We’ll be watching you grab that British!!

[@TopKekMadLad]

He is a boxer, not a brawler. Hit and don't get hit. Viddal is 🔥

[@AshTalkSport]

For realN

[@brandonadam7167]

I feel like there's so much people saying he's boring because his audience mainly consist of people who watch Influencer Boxing and know Viddal as KSI's trainer. Those fans don't understand that Pro-Boxing is way different to Influencer Boxing. If you try to be entertaining over being defensively responsible against professionals, you're going to sleep.

[@AshTalkSport]

Even in influencer boxing I’d love to be able to do what he does

[@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin]

That's the opposite of the truth. The only people who loved that dismal fight were youtube influencer fans, and every impartial boxing fan wanted to kill themselves. One boring fight doesn't make a boring fighter, but it WAS a boring fight, for everyone who wasn't personally invested in Viddal Riley.

[@brandonadam7167]

@@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin If you're an elitist and only watch world title fights and whatnot, then I guess the fight would be boring to you. But if you have an appreciation for the sport as a science, then you'd appreciate the stuff that Viddal was doing in the ring.

[@MyLife-ni5to]

I really like rak su man. Respectful and knows what he’s talking about. Hopefully there’s more boxing to come from rak su either way the content is always great champ keep doing your thing👊🏽

[@duswantsum]

Great break down of the fight! Viddal will be a world champion if he keeps putting in performances like this, he made the ex British champion look poor because of his movement and ring IQ. Truly a pleasure to watch him rise through the ranks and to top it off he seems like a humble guy. I hope he stays this way when he's at the top because the guys a great role model for up and coming fighters.

[@AshTalkSport]

Yup we here for the whole journey

[@canon2376]

THANK YOU, ASH. Viddal Riley put on an absolute masterclass. Casuals only like highlight KO'S.

Literally!!!

Sheesh ur wayy more knowledgeable than I knew brotha thats love

[@AshTalkSport]

Haha I’m still learning but getting there!

[@nadjibouettar271]

Viddal boxed lawal's head off with a broken freaking rib also i'm an influencer boxing fan first and i appreciate it and expected viddal to win via boxing Masterclass didn't expect him to do just that with a rib injury Also funny how the boxing purists on the commentary and on the broadcast were criticizing viddal for doing exactly what he supposed to do they're as fickle as they comm

Great breakdown! Can’t say the same about the fit unfortunately 😅

[@AshTalkSport]

😂😂😂😂 allow me it wasn’t planned

[@HashimSirajMahmood]

Well spoken brother. You explained it in such a way that it would make sense to the average joe like myself. ❤

[@AshTalkSport]

I’m glad you found it useful brother!!!

Great recap ash

[@AshTalkSport]

Appreciate you man!

[@walteronkanga]

For me, his performance was phenomenal and the best thing I liked was the feet work. Honestly idky the way boxers move in the ring is so unique I fw it

[@AshTalkSport]

I’m in your camp 100

[@unrivaled7625]

Lawal fractured Viddals rib in round 1. To go 9 additional rounds with a fractured rib is crazy, breathing is painful af. Yet he still outboxed Lawal.

[@remonimodexd7116]

He broke his rib in the first round which is why he was moving around

[@AshTalkSport]

And did it expertly

[@invisioncreative-p4i]

viddal is the man, pitching a shutout with a fractured rib is a solid performance in my opinion

[@AshTalkSport]

Literally!!

[@swiftdee95]

Was a fantastic fight, even the pauses in between action was sick… people just don’t know boxing

[@AshTalkSport]

100%

[@SoySaucing]

All these dumb kids saying jake would beat him and that hes a boring fighter, they dont get he played it smart, fought injured, and won against a big puncher (ik u know all this lol)

[@halffruit9245]

I think Wade said it best. If you don’t like Vidal your not a fan of the sweet since you don’t like boxing. You like brawls and knockouts which is totally fine but I’m not trying to sound like a pretentious doucebag watching just technical boxing is so awesome to me. But I love brawls and knockouts just as much as the next guy I think people who got introduced to boxing through the crossover seen just like brawls. But idk I’m gonna go sniff some Prozac rn.

[@AshTalkSport]

Literally I loved seeing someone with that much control go to work

[@Nattystackz13]

Great way to put it bro rate the way ur broke it down g

[@zuhebshahir435]

Instead of backing fighters from their own country they out they taken negetivity and put them down. Same issue we have in Australia.

[@AshTalkSport]

It’s a strange mentality at times

[@iDontLookAtTags333]

Ash are you gonna do some content in the shoot fighters gym? That would be sick to be some training or something

[@SoySaucing]

Factss hes not boring but these influencer fans are dumb

[@Upp2230]

He ain’t boring he just had a tough fight and he knew it.

[@Dragonlord826]

The fight wasnt as intense because viddal knew sitting and trading blows was too risky. The guy couldn't move and throw like Viddal so it was an easy game play to execute for his amazing footwork. Not entertaining to watch, but not a defining moment for his boxing skill when he's able to sit on punches without nearly the risk.

[@user-ig3vf9mw7p]

Vidal for sure knows how to use his tools

[@AshTalkSport]

100%

[@ko77938]

It was a beautiful boxing performance, idk what people are talkiing about

[@unrapex4053]

Broke his rib in the first round which makes it really impressive

[@user-wt4ql4kr1w]

he was fighting with an injury 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@c3s-way929]

Same thing that people say about Floyd mayweather, but he is the goat boxing want about knocking out your opponent it’s about hitting and getting hit and Vidal put on a master class of boxing on this fight

[@AshTalkSport]

Literally!!

[@zenoxp8928]

the fact Vidal did all that with an injury is another thing that shows he has heart to be a champ too!

[@AshTalkSport]

Literally!!!

People be acting like because he reviews misfit fights, he fights at their level too. He’s leagues apart from them.

[@AshTalkSport]

Different stratosphere

[@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin]

KZbinr fans in the comments persuading each other that "real boxing fans" didn't find that boring. Yeah, they did, and ONLY people who are invested in Viddal Riley thought otherwise. There were some rounds where there was barely a single scoring shot, while Viddal jogged around in circles - that is not high quality technical boxing beloved by the purists. I mean, if you have a slow footed heavy handed fighter against a technical outside fighter, that can happen, and one boring fight doesn't make a boring fighter - but that particular fight WAS boring, and he was excessively cautious.

[@sharonlamborghiniisjokl.6662]

People think viddel is thanos or smthing
