Richardson Hitchins does not give up with his pursuit of a fight against Theofimo Lopez. Today, the IBF Light Welterweight Champion Hitchins (20-0, 8 COs) exclaimed and said he wanted to fight him next, and then Devin Haney.
There is a Tip of desperation After calling out by Hitchins. He can’t stay at 140 for much longer because of his massive welterweight size, and he has contenders on his neck who will end his short government as the IBF champion.
Hitchins’ deserted pursuit of theofimo Lopez
In a desperate plea, Hitchins said: ‘Send the contract. ” The sad reality is that the WBO 140-Pond Champion Theofimo and Haney are out of his galaxy in terms of popularity. That’s not going to change because Richardson doesn’t have the entertaining style to bite one of the two.
Fighters who have to fight hitchins
– Ernesto Mercado
– Alberto Puello
– Gary Antuanne Russell
– Subriel Matias
– Kailaine Ortiz
– Lindolfo Delgado
– Shakhm Giyasov
Mercado (17-0, 16 COs) has repeatedly called out Hitchins for a world title and was ignored by him in the same way Matias has. With Mercado’s power, toughness and amateur tribal tree, it is a guaranteed loss for Hitchins. It is not surprising that he has nothing to do with Ernesto.
Hitchins’ focus on money fights on risky competitor
The perception fans about Richardson Hitchins are that he is focused only on money fights and does not want anything to do with the fight against any of the risky, talented contenders in the 140-pound division.
Hitchins doesn’t even try to increase its popularity by proving himself by fighting against A-level contenders such as Mercado, Puello, Portiz and Delgado. He also showed no ambition to fight the top of 147 pounds of guys like Giyasov.
The native of Brooklyn, New York, is large for the 140 -pound division and should have fought against welter weight long ago. It is believed that he places his body through torture to stay at 140 for as long as possible to enjoy a great advantage over his opposition.
In his last two battles, Richardson appears completely drained at the weigh-in, with sunken eyes and a zombie-like appearance. You can see that you look at him that it kills him to stay in the light welterweight section.
Hitchins’ recent knockout victory of the eighth round about former one-hit Wonder George Kambosos Jr. Last June was not a good win to move the needle in terms of its popularity.
I want theofimo Lopez to want Devin Haney Easyyyy to work the Fu ** King Mic the contract!

It was the wrong person for Richardson to fight to increase his fame. Instead of fighting him, he should have defended against his former number 1 outdoor, Subriel Matias. Hitchins ignored former IBF champion Matias and chose to milk his belt.
