richardson could stop george late

A 6'6 heavyweight named Teremoana Teremoana :cwm13:. Name so nice they used it twice. Olympian out of Australia. Facing one Aleem Whitfield. Good news is Whitfield is undefeated at 9-0. Bad news is he has 2 fights over last 9 yrs?!

Annnnd it's over. Teremoana blasts him out at the two minute mark in the corner and Whitfield is left crumpled up in the corner, out. Not much to pick from but ye know, Teremoana isn't terrible. Has some fluid speed to him for his size. Interesting look.

Have to like that attitude..." I want to do it the right way, like back in the day, fight my way up the ladder...not skip someone and skip another" :-X;D. That's timely not to mention refreshing. Talks up Bakhodir Jalolov who was an amateur rival. Be keeping an eye on ol Teremoana.

Have to say nice little promo piece for Usyk v Dubois II. Touched on all the points, little much on "low blow" but to be expected and emphasized what both have accomplished since.

Hironori Mishiro v Andy Cruz up now in Ibf eliminator. Let's see if Cruz is fighting with a chip on his shoulder now.

Wow. Mishiro has a stance that looks like something out of the stereotyped early 1900's ;D. Very wide stance bouncing straight up and down early. Let a good right hand go end of 1st but Cruz steady boxing stabbing with the jab.

Cruz selecting shots well and timing Mishiro. His left hand coming alive out of a switched southpaw stance for a minute. Mishiro coming forward but this had 'matter of time' written all over it unless Mishiro has something no one knows about.

Very calculating and precise 3rd he turns it up brutally last half of the round. Repeated jabs and the right hand of Cruz was landing over and over and over...Mishiro literally just turned head and sat there for it. Dropped twice, second kd was hard and huge breath from Mishiro getting up. This should be stopped but they go into 4th

Zero need for this to go on. Cruz again landing repeated right hands on ballsy Mishiro. Mishiro gunning in 1-2s but nothing on them. All up to Cruz when to close shop after 4

Doctor checks Mishiro beginning 5th and prides is stubborn scar. Cruz doubling uppercuts early

Took a bit long but ref waves it off after another 2,3,4,5 clean right hands. No dog in Mishiro but completely outgunned and in over his head from start. Tko for Cruz.

Is there another ring announcer more annoying than this fella with Dazn. Literally repeating a line but yelling it with "I SAID". Shaking my head in Buffer and Lennon right now ;D

Andy Cruz took over after 3 rounds. He has a very good jab and fast hands. He has had a few fights and could be the next Loma.

That was very impressive from Hitchins against a experienced and determined opponent. I knew he was good but not that impressed until this fight. Hope he gets Haney at Welterweight.

Kambosos had some good wins in his career but they have been a long time ago. He is never afraid of taking on anyone so have respect for him but he should retire now.

george got a golden ticket with teo & ran with it. he should have never got a rematch with devin but he made it part of the contract for the first fight to happen. he also got a gift against maxi. he'll stick around for a few more paydays
