Command Analysis
Richardson Hitchins
HaitiCurrent form
Richardson Hitchins is a young lion who is already the king of the ring! In December 2024, he won the IBF World welterweight title by defeating Liam Paro by split decision. At the age of 27, his record is 19-0, including 7 knockouts and 130 rounds in the pro ring. This guy from New York with Haitian roots fought for Haiti at the 2016 Olympics, but lost to Gary Russell. Height 178 cm, arm span — an impressive 188 cm, it's like the wings of an eagle! Eight of his last ten fights have reached the final gong, and his chin holds the punches — at least once he was dropped. The breakthrough came in 2023, when he confidently dismantled Jose Cepeda, taking the WBC Silver and WBO NABO titles. Other victims include Gustavo Lemos, Argenis Mendes, and John Bauza. Hitchins is about technique, distance and champion spirit!
Interesting betting trends
Hitchins' punching power is moderate, with a knockout percentage of 36.
George Kambosos Jr.
AustraliaCurrent form
George Kambosos is a warrior who knows the taste of great victories and bitter defeats. In March 2025, he defeated Jake Wiley by unanimous decision, but before that, in May 2024, he was stopped by Vasyl Lomachenko with a technical knockout in the 11th round, taking away the IBO belt and the chance for the IBF title. At 31, his record is 22-3, 10 knockouts, 189 rounds. Two defeats came from Devin Haney, who beat him twice on points in 2022. Height 175 cm, arm span 173 cm — he is inferior to Hitchins in size. Seven of Kambosos' last eight fights have come to an end, and his chin is strong despite the knockdowns.
He won 85 out of 100 fights as an amateur, and shone in the pro ring in 2021, defeating Teofimo Lopez and taking the IBF, WBA and WBO titles. Lee Selby and Mickey Bey are among his rivals, and sparring with Manny Pacquiao has toughened him up. In 2023, he narrowly defeated Maxie Hughes by a controversial decision. A cocksucker is a heart and a will, but will they be enough?
Interesting betting trends
Kambosos's knockout victory statistics are 45 percent.

1.33Tip and bets
Bookmaker analysts consider Hitchins to be the undisputed favorite, and it's worth agreeing with them. This fight is like a meeting between a young maestro and a seasoned fighter who has already seen the heights. Hitchins is about technique, speed, and long arms that will keep a sucker at bay like a swordsman. He's at his peak, his jabs are like needles, and his defense is like a wall. Kambosos can recall his aggression from the fight with Lopez, break into close range, but breaking through the barrier of Hitchins will be like breaking granite with his bare hands. George is a heart and a character, he will gnaw the ring like a bulldog, but his size and recent fights show that he will get stuck against top—end equipment. Lomachenko and Haney showed how to disassemble a Pumper, and Hitchins, with his 15-centimeter advantage in arm span, will repeat this lesson. We expect Richardson to control the distance, deliver more accurate shots and prevent the Australian from catching his rhythm. The Kambosos will show resilience, but this is not enough against the champion at Zenit.
Our prediction is that Hitchins will win by decision of the judges in 1.39
