Not a Lot Jumping Off the Screen When Hitchins Is in the Ring |

[@joecharles34]

Man Hitchins a dawg long as he take his weight cut serious he good

[@PepeAgain1025]

Totally agree with everyone else, he did enough to win himself the fight but Id have serious doubts as to how long he would be able to defend the title for

[@CasterShellz]

Won the fight but was also very unimpressive

[@PepeAgain1025]

Facts! ​@@CasterShellz

[@Jonathan-pp3du]

Did you say any of this about Paro after the Matias fight? I doubt it.

[@Kaykayy585]

I need people to say the same for Shakur stop giving him passes for not entertaining factors

[@CasterShellz]

@@Kaykayy585 People give Shakur the same energy. He's gotten hella criticism for his last couple performances for his minimalist approach. In my opinion, Tank also doesn't get enough criticism for losing so many early rounds due to not throwing punches. Remember, he was losing rounds to Rolly of all people! Aside from the knockouts, his recent fights have been relatively boring as well. Tank has the punch output of a 90s heavyweight lol

[@keymikescott2308]

Crazy how ppl who boxed downplay boxing . They pretty much just wanna see knockouts and wonder why the average fan think great boxers are trash . Smh porter

[@lorenzomcghee2951]

Facts 🤣 they wonder why casual fans hate champions they do the same shit

[@The053199]

Na, the sport of boxing is to throw punches, not move around and only throw 2 punches after every minute. You only got 3 minutes. You guys can cry about the sweet science all you want but it aint hard to see a mf scared to get hit and throw more than a jab because theyre limited in skills🤷🏽‍♂️ Tank throws every type of punch and throws more combinations unlike hitchins.

[@lorenzomcghee2951]

@@The053199 I get it but Hitchins threw more than Paro

[@mikedonna2784]

Shawn head butt porter what do you expect

[@dariancooper1668]

As a fan I want to see you (the fighter)take the fight out of the judges hand and press your advantage.

[@SeanBrown-m7h]

The sweet science of boxing can be boring to the boxing's uneducated..... But for those that understand what they're watching find pure entertaining in watching the fights.... Hitchens is a great pure boxer..... I find entertainment in his lightening fast hands and great foot movement and his timing on the jab... He reminds me of Floyd Mayweather.....

[@king.deandre]

As always sean has the best take

[@alod247]

Hitchins won but was not impressive. His punch selection consists of only a jab and straight. Hardly any hooks with either hand. No body punching. No inside fighting. No slipping and rolling punches. Defense only consists of moving backwards and clinching. Doesn’t flash power. Doesn’t show aggression. He’s a value brand Haney

[@Kevin-d5d8o]

Devin does everything you named lmao

[@Kevin-d5d8o]

Devin better fasho

[@Jonathan-pp3du]

What did Paro do?

[@alexprice5479]

All he needed was the 1-2. If he wasn’t popping him, why didn’t Paro swarm or come inside? Paro wouldn’t even throw more than 2 shots at a time cuz he was worried bout what was coming back. Hitchins beats most of 140, and especially Haney.

[@sekou2168]

He reminds me of Robert Easter

[@jimib8767]

Nothing but hate in the comments and on the screen towards a champ smh nasty work

[@CasterShellz]

Hitchins is another minimalist; not flashy, not exciting, and he won't sell I think part of the problem is that it is obvious he's cutting a lot of weight to make 140 but he does so because he needs the size advantage due to the fact that he isn't big on power Talks like Tarzan; Fights like Jane

[@AyeYoBoxingWithMadiba]

That “won’t sell” narrative is corny and played out lol… who cares

[@CasterShellz]

@@AyeYoBoxingWithMadiba It doesn't sell. That minimalist Mayweather-esque style, among several other factors, is why boxing's popularity is in the toilet in America and why networks are dropping boxing in favor of other alternatives. Nobody is going to buy a ticket to watch Richardson Hitchins box his way to a defensively responsible, uneventful decision victory. Stop trying to gaslight people. He's a good fighter but he's human Nyquil.

[@AyeYoBoxingWithMadiba]

@@CasterShellz if what you said is true then tell me why guys like Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney sell more than the majority of Americans with “exciting styles”? Shakur has sold 10k in an arena 4 different times and had averaged more than 1mil viewers twice. Devin Haney has sold out arenas on 3 different occasions… but yet someone like Teo hasn’t done anything close to those numbers lol Once again, this “don’t sell” narrative is played out

[@CasterShellz]

@@AyeYoBoxingWithMadiba Shakur selling had more to do with Top Rank's promotion than his fighting style, people don't really like him as a person or how he fights Haney/Prograis lost money...and bombed on PPV Tank's last fight bombed on PPV too because of the soft matchmaking and the lack of name value his opponent had Teofimo is a clout chaser and I lost all respect for him after he never pursued a rematch with Kambosos

[@AyeYoBoxingWithMadiba]

@@CasterShellz you do realize that Top Rank promotes a lot of boxers with exciting styles like Navarrete, Valdez, Teo, Janibek… and Shakur still sold more than all of them and had a higher average viewership. So what you said makes no sense And regardless if Haney/Prograis bombed on PPV, Haney still sold more than 19k tickets… how many American boxers can sell that much? How many American boxers even fight on PPV? So once again, this “can’t sell” narrative is played out. It gives boxers and fans like yourself to justify ducking

[@youngmelo3717]

Usyk and Bivol fights are boring as hell and people literally pretend like they’re entertaining just because they like those fighters but if they were black they’d get nothing but hate and be called boring 😂😂😂

[@ManiGotti]

Thank you

[@ManiGotti]

The black person will always get held to a different standard

[@adhanoyia]

Usyk beat the shit outta fury Bivol beats the shit outta everyone he fights including Canelo What y’all saying

[@Jonathan-pp3du]

@@adhanoyia Bivol did not beat the sht out of Canelo. He outboxed him just like Hitchin's did here. Usyk has not knocked everybody out and neither has Fury. They have plenty of 12 round decisions. Hitchins has knocked opponents out too if you want to go that route. You're just proving the OP's point with your racial bias and double standards. I'll bet you didn't have this energy for Paro when he outboxed Matias.

[@ManiGotti]

@@adhanoyia there were points in that fight where Bivol way laying on the ropes getting beat on

Unless he’s fighting Haney no one at 140 is beating Hitchins

Stop talking greesy!!

[@hman7236]

Shot out to Sean and the crew

[@htinternational2474]

Lol shawn 😂is just a tough critic 😅 wow

[@Jonathan-pp3du]

The bottom line is black fighters are held to a different standard. If they don't knock their opponent out they're deemed unimpressive or boring. Yet when Lomachenko, Tyson Fury, Bivol, or Usyk win fights like this they're "the matrix" or master boxers. It's not just the non black fans that do this either. Case and point is this video.

[@youngmelo3717]

Point blank period 💯

[@TvSss-b6w]

Richardson is good boxer but he is missing something… can’t quite put my finger on it but hope he can find whatever it is🥊

[@Jonathan-pp3du]

This is funny.A lot of criticism for Hitchins but none for Paro who not only lost this fight but boxed much like Hitchins when Paro beat Matias. I wonder why. Actually I don't. I know exactly why.

[@andrerobertson4076]

We will see how many people are clamoring to take the strap lol

[@152Loui]

this his 3rd headline and first title fight. give him time. his peers have DEEP experience compared to him and a more robust team. he's a champ now and i'm sure he'll get started quicker offensively now that he has strong momentum behind him. ...sametime, tryna be a showman is what got Haney dropped 3x 😅

[@dcole302]

Naw, he won't just magically turn it up quicker Lol... he is who he is. He solid but straight up and down. Just like Shawn said

Hitchins is the EPITOME of a boring lethargic fighter… Along with Sandor Martin and Barbosa 🥱 He makes Shakur and Haney seem way more exciting.
