“You fought the same person and broke down in tears ahhhh ahhhhh” 😂😂😂
This needs more recognition
Pin this comment 😂😂
if I can find someone that I love as much of that Snapping jabc Viddal has she is mine haha
it is funny how people said this was too much of a step up and now the narrative is he was boring and too technical. So basically he showed levels yh
Was there and almost fell asleep in this one
@@tko9190 yea because it was lightwork for ril
Facts bro. Everything the other guy did Viddal was one level above him.
@@stanleykubrakubrikTbf he also got a fractured rib round one, was probably also just playing it safe and seeing out the win. First 10 rounder as well I think, so probs just getting a feel for it. No issue if you found it boring though tbh, that’s fair enough.
@@jackreynolds975 viddals last fight to get the english title was 10 rounder
As much as people call it boring, seeing a big puncher nullified by some lateral movement and simple boxing was still entertaining. He made it pretty clear that he's a better boxer without question.
thank you for that spectacular in depth analysis
Mans not just the CNSR of munch but boxing fairs
Nah, you're just a you're just a kid celebrity fan, who'd be entertained if he took a sh*t in the ring.
@@Yiealo6372jdBut he was a champion right? Viddal is technically on the "come up" and beat a former champion with ease.
Chicken connoisseur knows ball
Commentators weren't even watching the same fight. Riley controlled the whole fight and nullified all of lawals strengths. Brilliant tactical display.
Thinking a good fight is 2 people standing in the middle and mindlessly throwing bombs is stupid instead of actually outboxing someone which is seen as boring
Right!! This was a boxing masterclass from a young fighter who showed serious boxing IQ, same people criticising are the same ones who idolise may weather and he's 50-0, this performance was very Flloyd esc
@@Yiealo6372jd facts if Lawal did more it wouldve created more openings for the both of them. It would be silly to stand infront of Lawal and play his game
so youd rather watch this kind of fight than a fight like wardley v clarke? or chisorsa v whyte ? stop trying to pretend youre a boxing purest when you know deep down that watching fighters stand in the middle and throw bombs is way more exciting. its not even a debate. all pros would say the same thing
@@hojbizzle847yes watching those types of fights are exciting but to me so are these tactical fights where you see one outbox the other I like both🤷🏿♂️ and don’t find none boring if you wanna see people throwing bombs go watch street fights😂
@@Salimatah2311 yeah. Viddal isn’t gonna trade with him, but if Lawal isn’t gonna do anything and just covers up it’s hard to knock someone out when they’re doing that
* Lawal throws 1 jab * Commentators: “great jab from Lawal” * Viddal throws 12 jabs * Commentators: “Viddal not doing much”
How on earth is the commentator saying Vidal didn't comprehensively outbox him? That's exactly what he did for nearly 10 rounds,.
The fact that they call this guy a KZheadr when he’s beaten people like Billam-Smith in the amateurs is so funny to me
Fr Daniel Dubois in amateurs too
Did he win or lose
@@aln2546 the comment says win
im impressed with how viddal fought through a fractured rib in the 1st to win that easily is world class
One of these commentators wasn't even watching the fight. Viddal Riley absolutely outclassed Lawal here.
The fact Viddal barely broke out of 2nd gear is super impressive, he just raised his level to the level he needed, didn't look bothered once and showed a masterclass in frustrating your opponent
Commentator was really routing for Lawal 😂 Viddal just outskilled Mikael, too smooth, to smart, to fast.
Viddal exposed Lawal here
Nah he got exposed in his last fight against chamberlain
People r too used to influencer boxing where it’s not technical because when they see technical they call it boring 🤦🏾♂️😂
Facts, casuals wanna see brawls.
this fight was kinda boring tho, crawford is technical but his fights aren't boring
There was points both fighters got each other in corners threw two punches and backed off for the cornered one to get space and back into the fight. Just wanted a little more aggression.
Do not blame it on influencer boxing. Been like that since boxing existed cus people love violence.
Or they are used to world champions - higher level fights. it's possible to be technical and exciting, but this wasn't. no significant punches or combinations
All credit to Viddal. Got to respect it!
Albeit a cautious one, it was a great / interesting fight. Tactically sound from Viddal in defence of his title. Get the job done whilst showing to everyone what else he has in the locker - from previous fights. His footwork / movement, patience and more importantly his discipline is exceptional.
Call this fight boring say whatever, but Viddal Riley is a skilful boxer, people need to stop underestimating him. I wanna see Chamberlain next for Viddal, it’s time for him to have the British, English and Commonwealth title
I’m not surprised viddal took it. He makes every fight look easy and it’s clear he’s doing what he needs to do in training. This one looked slightly more difficult but he still walked through it! I think him and chamberlain will make a good fight. Let’s see it!
Viddal fractured his rib in round 1. That's probably why he had a bit of a harder time.
@@sym2679 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yea and stll beat a former british champ by 9 points@@sym2679
To do what V just did for 12 whole rounds is much harder than standing in the centre and throwing bombs. The amount of energy and discipline needed to move that much for that amount of time is insane!
10 your right
@@jamesjohn5213 you're*
Jesus ten rounds of that amount of activity from Riley literally took the fight out of his opponent , not outran but out boxed him. Let’s give credit where it’s due.
45:40 "you beat that same guy and started shedding tears"
Fair play to Viddal, if he was American or Ukrainian they would of been talking about him very differently. IYKYK
Usyk is far better the technician than Viddal ever is/will be. Least when he fights he makes it look somewhat interesting, can't say the same for Riley who btw is almost a decade younger than Usyk it's a pretty big dissapointment for the CW division to have someone like this climbing the ranks
If he was American or Ukrainian then he wouldn’t be spoken about at all due to his style. He didn’t gain any fans from this performance.
Not really
@@danielday3374 his performance is also dependent on his opponent. You ever put gloves on and got ina ring?
@@JackTheStrippa people don’t understand if they’ve never done it personally this is a good performance from viddal very slick from viddal
these Commentators call out all of Lawals shots but 1 in 10 of viddals shots so weird
Riley’s technique and sheer power behind those punches speaks volumes. A true champion 💯❤️
Fractured his rib in the 1st round and still got it done 👌🏻🔥
Who fractured his rib?
@lonewolfboxiyhng
@@lonewolfboxing viddals opponent
@@lxuk3602No…Viddal did.
@@UFCFanatic2399 yes i know that’s what im saying, viddal’s opponent fractured viddal’s rib
he fights like a boxer, not a brawler. Viddal is smart, love to see it.
Hearing Lawal fractured Viddals ribs in the first round, Viddal is truly him. Could have been more aggressive but after that injury he just played his game.
I think Vidal beats Isaac only thing he needs to work on is loading up on more shots when he’s comfortable but doing is responsibly
He definitely could of was very cautious rightfully so
I think Viddal under BoMac and Terence Crawford would be lethal. The movement and intelligence would be top tier
commentary for this event was horrific lawal was too afraid to commit to anything the whole night and sat there like a punching bag "Im liking Lawal more as the fight goes on hes making viddal work very hard here' viddal ran rings around him easy never broke a sweat
Innit they somehow thought the 4th round was “good for Lawal” what is obscene
When someone’s too afraid to commit to anything significant it’s generally because the opponent isn’t allowing them to do anything significant. Completely nullified by Viddal
@@Wormholt yea thats what i mean i dont understand how the commentary possibly thought it was the other way around
Just trying to make the guy seem like he ain’t getting pieced up
@@Triple_MMM Yeah I got you mate. I was replying to another guy - didn't @ him . Must've deleted his comment
Might not be the most entertaining, but god damn Viddal is skilled and got decent endurance!
Crazy how people can say a super disciplined 10 round shut out was boring…🤦♂️I hate boxing fans sometimes
When’s hughie fury and mikey mckinson back out? Surely your faves?
The only reason you didn't find it boring is because you are a tik tok fan of the individual and don't care about good boxing.
@@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettinThe irony is insane, stick to golf or something, boxing ain’t for you casual
@@ruu0095 Literal youtube celebrity fans calling people "casuals" for not enthusing about the most bullsh*t fight you'll ever see. You couldn't make it up.
@@shakes.dontknowwhatyergettin Don’t waste your time arguing with KSI fan girls , the more attention you give them the more they think they know the sport 👍
Viddal, one of my favourite boxers- pure masterclass once again. Controlling tempo, feints, speed ,footwork- just a joy to watch.
Viddal moves like a lightweight what a display don't know how people are doubting this man
I think people dont care if u cant stay awake to see the "skill"
Credit to lawal he apparently cracked/broke Viddal’s ribs in the first round, so viddal boxed with intelligence.
What fight were the commentators watching they need some glasses lawal was flat footed and couldnt get anything going and was biting on every feint viddal threw🤣🤣🤣getting his head jabbed off
Viddal is gonna be big man we are watching this man’s journey to the top rn can’t wait for his next fight
That is some world class footwork from Riley.
Loved Isaac antics at the end taught he was gonna complement him but just built up the next potential fight 💀
GG’s for Viddal as usual. Good work
Man just danced around that ring effortlessly. Lawal couldn’t cut the ring and pressure effectively at all
Fighting intelligently is what’s gonna win him titles
HERE COME THE CASUALS!! The classic "Viddal is is rubbish, Jake Paul would knock him out. All he did was run around the ring" Casuals that don't understand or appreciate the sport, who focus mostly on big name fights and have no appreciation for technical ability. It wasn't a spectacle fight but it wasn't boring either. Viddal displayed his skill, he has very good footwork, great head movement, he was judging his range well. He came in with the correct game plan on the night and executed it well. At times seemed a little bit jittery but he is still learning in the ring with every fight. He's now answered any questions about his fitness to be able to keep moving and go the distance Lawal struggled to throw any decent punches, stiff movement and did nothing to stop Viddal executing his game plan. Casuals need to learn to appreciate the sport more.
No one is saying that lmao you’re arguing with yourself
@@JPizzy no tbf there was actually people saying jake would be him which is crazy
Jake wouldn't beat him, but Riley is not an "elite" boxer like he claims. Opetaia would paralyse him. Breidis and Riakphore too.
@@adamyeejy-sk9fhHave to agree. I actually do like Viddal, and would love to see him step up and get real world level success, but I'm just not convinced he can get there. His next couple of fights should be interesting eh, maybe get an idea if he can show what is needed to beat the more elite fighters in the division.
@JustChrisWillDoTa I think he'll fight Chamberlain and Chev Clarke next and beat them. Then after he's done that, maybe a Billiam-Smith fight. I just cannot see him putting a dent in Opetaia, Breidis or even Riakphore. He doesn't have the power to gain their respect. I'd like to see him do well though, seems up against it.
Love Riley's style, in and out, giving Lawal no chance. When Lawal does spring in, Riley ups the speed and is able to counter so easily.
Something Usykesque about Viddal's performance will be interesting to see his development!
He fractured his rib in 1st round btw
Did viddals rib get fractured or did he fracture the other guys rib?
@@Pygmegoat420 Viddals got fractured
@@darrenlally9386 how you know bro
@@Pygmegoat420 well I’m only going off what Vidal said on twitter
@darrenlally9386 oh okay thanks it's just I've seen this comment alot but no proofe but I don't have twitter so makes sence
To fight like that with a fractured rib is insane
Viddal's movement 😲😲😲
Where are the highlights btw?
Viddal stated that his rib was fractured during round 1. Which means he was moving like that while having a fractured rib. Viddal out boxed Lawal heavily
Riley boxed a magnificent fight, he was the smaller of the two but kept composure, kept Lawal away with the jab and pivoted well while still getting shots in on his way out. Probably wouldn't have been a great idea to stand still and trade with the bigger, Lawal as he was only looking for a big shot at the end of the day and 9 out of 10, you trade with a bigger dude and he catches you clean, it's night night.
The realist 🥇👊
If you know boxing you know it wasn’t a boring fight it was the different level in skills
Lawal didn't get a look in the whole fight. V played that beuatifully but I agree with his old man, he could have let off a hell of a lot more. Well done V!
A part of uysk in cruiser i dont know anyone who moves like this for 10 in cruiser. But i feel at times he needs to do more . Because end of the day people wants to see ko 's .
Have any of these commentators actually watched a single boxing match? Or are they just blind.
Anyone know his walkout song?
Big up Viddal Oiiii Real talent yh Hackney E5
Moral of the story, watch fights with the commentary off
What was his walkout song?
People didn’t realise he fractured his rib in round 1 😂and Viddal still fought on 💪🏾
Amazing boxing , crazy performance actually. Unfortunately really boring wish he shot more power shots . This fight has no highlights
Isaac talking big. Viddal walks past him with ease
Lawal looking like a complete amateur, but even that is too much credit. Fights and moves like a 38 year old when in actual fact he's only 28! poor workrate, movement and shot selection
He can't let his hands go in moments he should/need to
He fractured his rib
Does anyone know vidal Riley walkout song?
Great work by Vidal
The running man 😂
Viddal , good game plan believe in your skill more..
Really don't see how this was boring? Beuatiful boxing. People these days just don't know how to sit still for 10 minutes, thank social media for that
Viddal had a fractured rib in round 1 bros a beast
No idea where Lawal goes from here.
@Yiealo6372jd Just say you're a casual and don't understand boxing, go watch street fights.
@@Yiealo6372jdLawl looked like he didn’t care at all.
@@Yiealo6372jd So you're saying May weather, who doesn't knock people out, is scared? Roy Jones? Muhammed Ali? That is who Viddal is emulating, and he clearly won the fight and outclassed him...
@Yiealo6372jd Ahhhh, my bad brother, apologies, I misread.
@@KyosisPlays 👍
Seen all these master of ceremonies come and go but Michael Buffer is the 🐐
No one has really said this is boring for all the people saying “ now everyone calls VR boring “
Plenty of ppl have been
For anyone calling it a boring fight, we got to see how Viddal manages adversity. Viddal's rib got fractured in the first round and still won every single round. blud was slick
I don't know wether it's because lawal was so poor, but it was boring in my opinion. Like watching a spar. Just flicking he's punches out. No spite or bad intentions. Great movement but definitely not an exciting fight
Snooze 😴
@@dugegg I guess it depends what people enjoy watching, some like slick movement and smooth setups, others like big bombs, we cant knock the others. Imo i thought it was exciting but completely respect people saying it was boring
@@themax2848 your right but for me personally, it didn't keep my attention. I do enjoy it theses sort of fights if they stick a bit behind the shots. Even the purists still want a sense that someone could hurt or stop, or at least drop the other. But it didn't feel like that at all. Like I said it was like a spar where a flat footed novice is trying to pin the experience guy down and the experienced guy just flicks shots out and takes the piss out of them. I later found out that Riley had bad ribs from early in so props to him, done what he had to do.
@@dugegg yeah honestly I think most of the disappointment for me was in Lawal, he was cornering Viddal but did nothing with that imo, idk it wasn't what I was expecting. I guess we'll wait and see for the next fights.
What’s the song that viddal walked out to called
Vidal pretty much ran the whole fight and done the equivalent of holding the ball at the corner flag in football for the 10 rounds
He was moving to prevent his opponent setting his feet and preventing him from throwing power punches, which is what you have to do against someone who relies on power punches... It was the definition of "hit and don't get hit", the essence of boxing. Running is where they do everything they can to not get hit and forget about hitting their opponent because they're nearly always out of range.
@@dontaskme7004 I hear you and I’m not going to pretend like I’m an expert. There’s movement as you said that’s hit and not get hit.. (I don’t expect him to be stupid and trade when he doesn’t need to) however boxers like Opetaia and Bivol who use movement and really engage. From what I saw the amount of times he cut left then right then right and left constantly circling without throwing nothing , then a few combinations and jabs here and there that Lawal wasn’t phased by looked like running / bidding time to me 🤷🏾♂️
Joshua did the same thing against Ruiz in the 2nd fight and everyone was glazing him@@tommatic_180
What’s viddal walkout song?
I think it’s one of his songs - not sure which one but hopefully points you in the right direction
Quem aguenta quase uma hora de box 😢
I honestly don’t mind the fight at all but it’s funny when shakur stevenson plays it safe and “scared to get hit” ppl are calling him a track star or wtv but when Vidal does the same things he gets praised for it being levels above😂
V just need to listen to your corner a little more
Vidal Riley has much boxing intelligence👍
Viddal is excellent. His partnership with his dad is brilliant, but I cant help but think what a beast he’d be with a step up in coach. Imagine a sugar hill in his camp. He’d be a spiteful scary fighter
Viddal was spotted training in Kenya with the long distance runners in preparation for this fight.
Vidal can move his motion is too slick
Hit not get it elite amtures do this thing on daily base that no running
Some of the people in these comments have no clue about boxing. I get it though barn burners are very entertaining but if you want to just watch ruthless scraps stick to watching backyard brawling. Irrelevant of the fracture to viddals rib, nobody would have guessed it with such a clinical display of boxing, the footwork was great for all 10 rounds but people forget it takes two to tango and lewal had nothing to offer viddal. Great performance from viddal, to me it shown levels, I think Taj gave him a tougher fight, hope the rib heals quick look forward to seeing what's next, great boxing as usual
We get it, you’re a hardcore boxing fan, the most hardcore realist fan ever who appreciates the sweet science, we get it hats off to you!! Some casuals enjoy watching a brawl and that’s their prerogative, get over it. I box and I enjoy this just as much as a brawl, but it’s easy to why others prefer a brawl, each to their own who cares.
@@Disinfo321 then they shouldnt comment on it or watch it, its like trying out a new food where at any moment u can stop eating it but u still keep eating it and complaining. just put it down and say its not for you and move on instead of trying to undermine and trample on someones hard work and skill.
Cope nobody likes watching snooze fests it doesn’t draw views

9-1
10-0
@@evangingerson1271 nah Lawal clearly won round 1. That’s it

Why's Chev Clarke getting involved? Decent amateur, but the guy has professionally fought 8 ironing boards and would be a step backwards. Hopefully Chamberlain vs. Riley is made!
Fractured rib in round 1 and then box like that 😮💨
That’s my bloody fighter !
That poor ref would have got his steps in during that fight
Who let Lawal's best mates commentate?
He broke his rib in round 1, anyone calling this performance boring, just remember that
Who broke who's?
@@Pygmegoat420 Lawal broke Viddals rib in the first round. The punch he sits down on in round 1 against the ropes
Not being funny but this reminds me of Joshua Usyk 1.. Vidal's movement was too much to adjust to.
A good role model for kids. Well done, Viddal. Don't entertain Jake Paul or Tommy Fury, they couldn't lace up your boots
A good role model for kids? How 😅

Does Mikael Lawal have a contract with Sky because i dont know what the 1 commentator was watching! Viddal showed levels, Lawal couldnt get near him, didnt trouble him once and made it look like easy work. Commentator talking like Lawal was in the fight or it was "nicked" from him , Viddal won every round it was a shut out!
need a new commentary team, first time viddal fought infront of them they call him ksi's trainer, ksi's friend. now they find anything they can to big up viddals opponent it's like they just ignore the fact he's making great boxers look amateur
Didn't they just point out that he was KSI's former trainer and had a bit of a stop-start early professional career because of it?
WHO NEEDS A SLEEPING PILL WHEN YOU CAN JUST WATCH THIS FIGHT
Why did they cut away when Chev was trying to get in? 😂
