“Tomorrow night I’m going to win. He makes a lot of mistakes, and I’m pretty sure he’s going to be aggressive. I’m going to choose him apart. Hopefully I’ll take him away there, ‘said Hitchins on Dazn box After weighing.
Kambosos’ aggressive fighting strategy
Kambosos should fight aggressively for him to have a chance to win because he’s not going to pull out hitchins. He must make it a dog battle, make it physically and not hitchins use the ring to potty. He is a one-time fighter in the Mayweather form. It is effective, but boring to look at. Richardson withdrew the Shakur-Esque three step he employed.
“You fired two world -class operators tomorrow night for the fight. Richardson Hitchins has a chance to keep his claim to a US superstar in boxing and put himself at the levels of Devin, Tank and Shakur,” said promoter Eddie Hearn.
A win for Hitchins will not make him a superstar. Hearn is carried away a bit. If Hitchins do win, it will probably be the same way he did in his last fight against Liam Paro, by boxing 12 rounds. It won’t be exciting things.

‘You have tried George Kambosos to make history as a world champion of two divisions. It is in the same place he deprived of theofimo Lopez, ‘Hearn continued. “Richardson has the opportunity to really make a statement to the world tomorrow, but he stands against a robust dog in Kambosos.”
If Kambosos could pull out the dismay, it would be great for the Australian box, and put himself in position for greater battles against Devin Haney, Theofimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia.
“You’re going to get a beautiful crossroads fight between Kambosos and Hitchins. George wants Richardson to stand and fight,” says Eddie Hearn. ‘George is a very determined and smart man. He wants Richardson to stand and fight. I know Richardson is the favorite. ‘
