Don’t Name Me A Runner, Calls for Richardson Hitchins, Says He’ll Be “Proper There, Punishing All Night time” In Kambosos Combat
Reigning IBF 140 pound champ Richardson Hitchins doesn’t take kindly to being known as a “runner.” Lately, Saudi cash man Turki Alalshikh mentioned he’ll no lengthy tolerate runners or boring fighters on his well-paying, stacked battle playing cards. Alalshikh, a boxing fan at coronary heart, needs motion, as can we paying followers.
And, going into tomorrow evening’s battle (stay on DAZN) towards former light-weight champ George Kambosos Jr, Hitchins has had the runner tag hurled at him by his challenger. And Hitchins isn’t completely happy about it, nor does he agree with the runner label. And to show it, Hitchins has vowed to be “proper there in entrance of him (Kambosos), punishing all evening.”
“I don’t ever run”—Hitchins fires again at Kambosos
“He retains saying I’m operating,” Hitchins mentioned of Kambosos as quoted by The Ring. “I don’t ever run. Saturday evening, I’ll be proper in entrance of him all evening lengthy. [I’ll beat him in] Dominating style. I received’t be going nowhere. I’ll be proper in entrance of him. Invoice Haney wanna say, ‘Don’t run. He’ll get knocked the F**okay out.’ I ain’t Devin Haney. I’ll be proper there in entrance of him, all evening, punishing this man.”
If Hitchins, 19-0(7) is nearly as good as his phrase and stands proper there within the pocket and appears to punish Kambosos, we might get an incredible battle. Hitchins is the higher boxer of the 2, some would maybe say by fairly a substantial margin, however Kambosos, if he has to enter the trenches, can accomplish that, as he’s powerful and is all the time in nice bodily situation. Kambosos, 22-3(10) would doubtless have a troublesome time attending to Hitchins if the defending champion received on his bike and regarded to frustrate, outbox and embarrass him.
May Kambosos exploit a phone-booth battle?
But when – and it could possibly be a giant if, regardless of what he has mentioned – Hitchins is “proper there” trying to make a battle of it, Kambosos may have an opportunity of constructing it his type of battle and profitable. Once more, if Hitchins is prepared to face and commerce, to make it one thing approaching a phone-booth battle tomorrow, then we actually might get a very good one.
Hitchins stays the decide to win right here, however Kambosos has an actual shot if it does change into his type of battle.
