Richards needs to step it up and get Laine out of there. Laine is literally offering nothing and Richards needs to look good.

Right, toss the towel in Laine's team lets move on, no point dragging out an already dreary looking card any longer than it needs to be

You can see why Richards thought he was way beyond Hutchinsons level...
Eddie has got to be looking to bail out to DAzN, Murray is probably the worst possible style opponent for BJS in terms of entertainment.

Richards all straight shots, jabs and crosses to head and body, no hooks or uppercuts, doesn't need them i suppose

Is there a rule in boxing that stipulates that journeymen and club fighters must only wear shorts from Sports Direct??

Laine doesnt even throw punches. Its a spar. Ref should throw it out

Richards need to put combos together and the ref would stop it

Laine's not there to win clearly but i wouldnt say he's in survival mode exactly, he's not holding or spoiling or that like Hammer last week against Yoka, he's at perfect range for Richards who's got to find ways to get guys like this out of there, sustain an attack and the ref will surely jump in

So Richards is another to add to the "fighters to skip" list, along with Haney, Jacobs, Yoka, Saunders, Knockout CP Freshmart

Opportunity missed for Richards. Just the kind of fight we haven’t seen much of on Sky since the start of lockdown - a journeyman throwing barely any punches.

Yeah, I get doing about 4 rounds then going for it, but that was poor :zzz:

It's true that Laine is hard to put away, but at least try.
You can't put everyone away, a KD or two would be ok.

Good first round. Dixon looks decent but small for the weight.

Dixon doesn’t look like he knows how to fight inside and way to easy to hit, goes back in straight lines, single jabs only and not much punch variety or work rate at all tbh, stands and admires his work , being a bit harsh I know but heard good things so must be a off night for him, he’s young and in his first fight where someone willing to punch back, the commentary as usual is biased and rubbish, soon as he’s in with a decent fighter he will Get stopped IMO on this showing, but is a decent fight to watch

Enjoyed that. Dixon was thinking his way through and making adjustments against a guy who came to win.

Will keep an eye on him, for a 5th fight, not bad at all.
