Richards vs Buatsi Betting Analysis
Both of these fighters have been doing extremely well throughout their respective careers, and this should be an entertaining fight.
We are going to dive a bit deeper into both boxers so we can figure out how to dive into which one should win here.
Craig Richards
Craig Richards has been nothing short of impressive with a career 17-2-1 record heading into this fight. He has been struggling a tiny bit as he is 2-1-1 in his previous four fights, so he has to figure out how to step up as Richards is trying to get back on track.
Richards has a solid knockout power as 10 of his 17 career wins have come via the knockout, including seven of the previous eight wins. His ability to dominate a fight makes the boxing odds lean a little more slightly in his favor with how powerful his strikes are.
Richards needs a lot to go right in this fight in order to walk away with one of the biggest victories of his entire career.
Joshua Buatsi
Joshua Buatsi has been one of the best fighters in the light heavyweight scene as he as has a perfect 15-0-0 record with only two fights not ending early as Buatsi is a knockout artist.
He has recorded a knockout in each of his previous ten fights, and that means he should have a great chance of dominating here. Nothing feels more obvious than Joshua Buatsi dominating this fight.
Updates
As of this writing, neither fighter’s camp has reported any injuries and are coming into this match as close to 100 percent as they can possibly be in this fight.
As long as nothing is being reported, it is safe to assume both fighters are completely healthy in this fight.

Richards vs Buatsi Betting Prediction
As we talked about earlier, this seems to be one of the easiest fights to determine what will happen. Buatsi has dominated throughout his career and should be able to continue doing this.
He is currently three years younger, one inch taller, and has a one-inch reach advantage compared to Richards. Richards has been struggling to get into a groove as of late as he is 2-1-1 in his previous four fights, and this is arguably his biggest challenge yet.
All in all, go with Joshua Buatsi to dominate this fight early and often to end up winning this boxing match with another knockout added to his name.
