People, like you I assume from this comment, tend to forget there are levels in everything we do and especially boxing.

Riakporhe is domestic level and that's how he should be judged. That fight alone was more exciting than the majority of Jonny Nelson's, so that comparison is pointless.

Riakporhe has power and is willing to throw, he gassed last night like a lot of punchers who dont score KO's do, but he was willing to trade and looked vulnerable - what's not to like there?? As a novice pro who you are paying to watch, don't think you can ask much more.
