Re: Round-by-Round: Chris Billam-Smith vs. Richard Riakporhe II | Sky Sports - 15 June 2024
Whitaker looking like he wants a quick KO. Not sure he can crack this guy early, looks cagey.

I think all Ben is learning at this level are bad habits.
Re: Round-by-Round: Chris Billam-Smith vs. Richard Riakporhe II | Sky Sports - 15 June 2024
Looks like it’s taking its toll on Arenyeka after three rounds. He clearly doesn’t mind a scrap but this is hard work for him.

Arenyeka disappointing
Re: Round-by-Round: Chris Billam-Smith vs. Richard Riakporhe II | Sky Sports - 15 June 2024
A bit more success for Arenyeka in the 4th, although it’s was pretty much due to Whitaker offering him more opportunities.

Ben reminds me a bit of Bradley Pryce. Without big power he will struggle with his style.
Re: Round-by-Round: Chris Billam-Smith vs. Richard Riakporhe II | Sky Sports - 15 June 2024
Probably talking out my arse but I keep getting flashes of old Sugarboy Malinga the night he awkwardly went with come forward pressure vs Richie Woodall.

Pryce is a blast from the past. Pryce I did like, he battled bulimia for pretty much his entire career, no idea how he won CW title with that illness as it is utterly crippling. He was a good boxer.My T Sharp wrote: ↑15 Jun 2024, 16:45 Ben reminds me a bit of Bradley Pryce. Without big power he will struggle with his style.

Sky can fvck off with adverts between rounds. Total amateurs.
Re: Round-by-Round: Chris Billam-Smith vs. Richard Riakporhe II | Sky Sports - 15 June 2024
I just want him to lose, its not healthy, but he annoys the crap out of me.
Re: Round-by-Round: Chris Billam-Smith vs. Richard Riakporhe II | Sky Sports - 15 June 2024
Straight out of the UFC that elbow. Clearly frustrated.

Whittaker is a dick, just asking to be butted and elbowed tbh.

Re: Round-by-Round: Chris Billam-Smith vs. Richard Riakporhe II | Sky Sports - 15 June 2024
Arenyeka may well be near enough impossible to hurt in this fight, but Whitaker could really do with a highlight moment here. It’s been too repetitive, even with his style.
Re: Round-by-Round: Chris Billam-Smith vs. Richard Riakporhe II | Sky Sports - 15 June 2024
This type of style will bore the pants off of you if you don't carry a bit of pop.

Never mind Ben Whitaker, Tyson Fury is the real Master of the Drunken Style.

I am not bored at all, enjoying it.

Yeah missing that naz power to be a super star. Needs to stop fighting students and cab drivers
Re: Round-by-Round: Chris Billam-Smith vs. Richard Riakporhe II | Sky Sports - 15 June 2024
Just saw the result of the Azeez fight. How did that happen??
Re: Round-by-Round: Chris Billam-Smith vs. Richard Riakporhe II | Sky Sports - 15 June 2024
Pretty much flawless defence from Whitaker in the last round. Almost got his highlight moment at the end there.
