00:00
Here is the reigning, defending, undefeated WBA light heavyweight champion of the world,
00:08
Dmitry Bivol!
00:14
Craig Spider-Richards!
00:20
Richards!
00:22
I think he's got a real shot at this.
00:24
Well again, you're seeing the height there, but Craig Richards is probably about 6'4",
00:28
he's one of the tallest light heavyweights in the world.
00:30
Dmitry Bivol is 6'4", he's not a big Craig Richards.
00:33
He faces...
00:35
...the 9-1 underdog, Romp Home.
00:37
Giovanni Stratholme.
00:39
I think that's what we have to expect from Richards.
00:41
Back foot, he's moving the same way.
00:43
Body shot downstairs there.
00:45
Bivol cutting him off, trying to close the distance here.
00:49
We see Richards stepping up.
00:51
Stepping up from British Championship level to World Championship.
00:55
They've certainly got the game plan, talking to Peter Sims, his trainer this week.
00:59
Makes them look like they're doing so much weight, just by pressure.
01:01
Set the odds as well.
01:03
Will Bivol...
01:05
The front foot stop, Nick, what you mentioned is very...
01:07
...set for him, become a positive for him.
01:09
Yeah, what Richards needs to be careful of, Nick, is just...
01:13
...as well, if you look at Bivol, he uses that...
01:15
...nice jab to the body from Richards there.
01:17
When you're on the receiving end of that...
01:19
...circling to the left-hand side.
01:21
You're constantly thinking and overthinking, trying to keep...
01:23
...a flash opportunity to land it.
01:25
And he lands it with such force when he does so.
01:27
It's certainly made him very confident.
01:29
Bivol coming to his own, he pressures on the front foot.
01:31
Defends coming forward.
01:33
Doesn't bring it back to a responsible position, and he's in range.
01:35
He will get caught over the right of it.
01:37
Bivol jab going pretty effectively here in this second round.
01:39
And so too did Bivol.
01:41
He's getting his own jab.
01:43
Oh my goodness me, he walked into that.
01:47
Bivol makes them lunges, what he does.
01:49
Jab, jab, jab.
01:51
Long leavers, Craig Richards.
01:53
He is well set for that full counter right hand.
01:55
Just how many opportunities does he have?
01:57
Put him straight back in his place.
01:59
A little bit slow and a little bit low.
02:01
It's a jab to the head.
02:05
Everything for Richards.
02:07
He's going to come off his jab.
02:09
You're waiting too long, Craig, but this is the problem when you've got...
02:11
...a puncher's reputation, and then your opponent feels...
02:13
As he's coming in, Bivol.
02:15
Just backing off and circling in circles.
02:18
His own waistband.
02:20
It's a jab, down, back.
02:22
Just push it out.
02:24
He's looking for the right hand over the top there.
02:26
Bivol feels that power.
02:28
It gives them the extra time that they need to go to work.
02:30
Delaying the inevitable for me, for Bivol.
02:36
Six foot mark, and he's doing so well, Bivol,
02:38
to try and out-jab Richards.
02:40
So clever, Bivol.
02:44
There's the left hook again.
02:46
He's got the extra time that he needs to get to work.
02:49
Clever again there.
02:51
Good job.
02:53
He's got through with the follow-up right now.
02:55
The success that he's having.
02:57
To Bivol's right hand.
02:59
As Chris has just mentioned there, very clever of Bivol.
03:01
Here in the second round, Bivol.
03:05
Talked about the mistakes he makes at...
03:09
It's all too easy at the moment for Bivol.
03:12
Opened up right hand.
03:14
There for Richards, but Bivol is straight back on him
03:16
and pushes him back up to the ropes.
03:18
That's only picked up.
03:20
He'll tee you up, he'll set you up a couple of times
03:22
with the left hook, so you'd expect it,
03:24
and then bang, the right hand will come over the top.
03:26
The domestic level that he won't get away with here.
03:28
He just got away with one there, Richards.
03:30
Especially the shots are not necessarily power shots,
03:33
but the fast and the quite explosive.
03:35
Finished him off with a left hook.
03:37
Good job from Bivol.
03:40
Against a strong defensive boxer like Dimitri Bivol.
03:43
Dimitri Bivol threw at him after he landed those two right hands.
03:49
Ten seconds, corners.
03:52
He's always just ready to just pull, come straight back at you,
03:55
and he often counters in combinations when you do...
03:57
Bivol, as I said, he's blocking with high hands,
03:59
he's blocking with his hands up.
04:01
He's got to keep his composure now.
04:03
Bivol does land it as well, I think,
04:05
in terms of Richards going to the body.
04:07
I think you're absolutely right, Paul.
04:09
It's hard to see how Richards...
04:13
Good job there from Bivol.
04:22
I think as well, to the untrained eye,
04:24
this has looked like a bit of a rambling.
04:30
Bivol just start reaching in and see if you can pick him up.
04:38
Good job from Richards.
04:43
Good job.
04:46
At the moment, Bivol is handling that jab
04:48
pretty effectively.
04:56
Richards is going to have to start changing things up.
04:58
There are other opportunities there,
05:00
but Richards not able to exploit them.
05:04
He's a guy with a discipline of Dimitri Bivol.
05:07
You're not going to get more than maybe one.
05:13
Just a few moments ago, we can see it here,
05:15
because Bivol inches his front foot into range,
05:17
but he's leaning back over his...
05:24
Richards is just leaning slightly further forward,
05:26
and that just magnifies the impact of the jab with Bivol.
05:30
...the pressure that he applies,
05:32
the way he just changes the levels of the lead hand position.
05:34
As in this fight, I believe he's been very guilty in the past
05:37
of just doing enough, which is what he's done
05:39
in the previous five rounds, in my opinion.
05:42
...as we go into the sixth round.
05:44
It's a formula that works for...
05:48
Yeah, and there's four counts of right hand, though,
05:50
before that.
05:52
Bivol being backed up in this fight.
06:00
...to range, which is, as I've just been saying,
06:02
is what Bivol likes to do.
06:04
He'll come in and he'll land it.
06:06
Look for the right hand there, and it didn't land.
06:09
The problem is, when he throws it out as a single,
06:11
that's when he's vulnerable to the counter,
06:13
because Bivol, he just comes over...
06:15
And the shot, and then he'll back off straightaway.
06:22
Switch downstairs.
06:23
...where he is in range in relation to it.
06:25
The less you throw it, the more the element of surprise...
06:27
That type of shot and that type of advice from the corner
06:29
is good advice.
06:31
So this is it, isn't it? I mean...
06:39
Bivol going for it here.
06:47
He had the last word there, Richards,
06:49
but Bivol...
06:51
Richards is not winning this one on points.
06:53
There's no way.
06:55
Bivol's also good, again,
06:57
because of his old amateur pedigree.
07:01
Managed to get through here,
07:03
and that's when he could be vulnerable,
07:05
because Richards...
07:09
He was doing this earlier, but certainly got through
07:11
with the second time he landed it.
07:13
Bivol is comfortable and in control at the moment.
07:17
He lands a jab, he'll knock the head back of Richards,
07:19
then he'll back off.
07:21
Bivol...
07:23
Nice stuff there.
07:25
But did take one back as well, Richards tried.
07:29
As I said, I was talking about...
07:31
He'll admire it, and it's just highlighting what he does well.
07:33
That's what we were trying to talk about in the first couple of rounds.
07:35
You've got it in your artillery.
07:37
Let it go and do it.
07:39
This accent and his language.
07:41
Listen, I think the advice
07:43
from that corner...
07:45
He wants the W,
07:47
and if he can get it, just racking up the rounds like this.
07:49
He's certainly second-best here,
07:51
but you wouldn't say even so that he lands Bivol.
07:53
He's landing three or four from Bivol there,
07:55
but mainly they both headhunted.
07:57
Stiff jab there again.
07:59
See if that changes things up a little bit,
08:01
but on with you guys.
08:03
This position he's in now, Richards,
08:05
the champion.
08:07
Two and four, and he's being the aggressor,
08:09
and he's dictating the pace as he is now,
08:11
and that's been the difference.
08:13
No more on the back foot,
08:15
no more circling around in circles.
08:17
Of distance, and the way he glides in and out of range.
08:19
He waits to see what you've got,
08:21
and when he knows it's safe to do so,
08:23
he'll have a go at it.
08:25
Richards has had some success.
08:27
Bivol is straight back on him immediately.
08:29
He can't just wait
08:31
and let Bivol dictate,
08:33
which he has done for the previous seven rounds.
08:35
One of the two of them,
08:37
he's better until they meet.
08:39
He's the best in the world by a stretch.
08:41
I just think he'll criticise himself
08:43
when he watches it back.
08:45
I think he'll feel like he could have done it...
08:47
You can hear Peter Simms now say,
08:49
come on, you've got to let your hands go,
08:51
and we haven't seen it.
08:53
He may look like he's there,
08:55
but actually he's far, far harder too.
08:59
There's a lot missing.
09:01
One of a really good group of British light heavyweights,
09:03
just bubbling under at the moment.
09:05
And Richards, he's boxing well.
09:07
He's just as we say.
09:11
You've done very, very well in the performance,
09:13
but I know you're better than that.
09:15
And I think...
09:17
His back hasn't touched the rubs once.
09:19
He hasn't been near them.
09:21
That's probably the closest he's been so far.
09:23
But of course, neither of them
09:25
have really tested that.
09:27
There's a lot of criticism when this fight was made
09:29
that Richards will be well out of it.
09:31
He's losing the battle in terms of
09:33
the volume of shots that he's landing.
09:35
He's landing good singles.
09:37
It's probably been his best round, in my opinion, so far.
09:39
The right hand of Craig Richards
09:41
has been up.
09:43
He's circled around him well, didn't he?
09:45
He's keeping his centre.
09:51
Craig Richards is the man
09:53
that needs to do something a little bit different.
09:57
And here I can do both the right and the left.
10:27
The counter comes in, but Bivol again responds.
10:29
He's been neglected all night for me.
10:57
I'm not being critical of Richards.
10:59
I'm just saying, he'll watch this back
11:01
and if he doesn't get the decision...
11:27
He's in a firefight here.
11:37
He's not been overawed at any stage.
11:39
He's not looked majorly hurt at any stage.
11:41
This is decent from Richards.
11:45
Richards showing that greater sense
11:47
of urgency now, pressing forward.
11:49
There goes for the body again.
11:53
Looking to finish the round strongly.
11:57
He's got the right hand.
12:01
But also, Paul,
12:03
I'm with Chris on this. I think he'll take a lot.
12:05
He's had his success as well.
12:07
Lovely from Bivol.
12:09
Again, the flashy finish in the last few seconds of the round.
12:11
He judges it.
12:13
His management.
12:15
It's actually a positive win.
12:17
He's in here with a world champion.
12:19
He tries to do just enough and he hasn't done enough
12:21
for the last few rounds.
12:23
He's got a crystal palace in South London.
12:31
He's saying no urgency at all.
12:33
He's just tucking up there, Bivol.
12:39
Ethical work right from him.
12:45
He's trying to learn that.
12:47
Because at the midway point of this fight,
12:49
Bivol had a big, big lead.
12:51
It tells you what he thinks about the fight, Bivol.
12:53
It tells you that he knows it.
12:55
A really significant power punch tonight.
12:57
To work.
12:59
A case for Dimitri Bivol.
13:01
Enough rounds in the middle.
13:03
In the start, the first and the middle four rounds
13:05
of this fight.
13:07
Has really put on a very, very impressive
13:09
performance defensively.
13:11
To the final bell.
13:13
It's levels in boxing,
13:15
as we always say.
13:17
Bivol does take it.
13:19
And that'll do it.
13:21
Well, Richards
13:23
can certainly hold his head high at the end of that one.
13:25
Because it will go to the three
13:27
scoring judges.
13:29
All three. For your winner,
13:31
by unanimous decision,
13:33
he's still undefeated.
13:35
Dimitri Bivol.
13:37
Dimitri Bivol.
13:39
Bivol had put enough in the bank,
13:41
but Richards pushed him so close.
13:43
He and Peter Sims will go out of this one.
