This isn’t a bad match up on paper but it’s also one that will likely be terrible to watch in the ring. Richards is good technically and can really box but lacks a killer instinct and is perfectly happy to go the distance even against over matched foes. Giovanni De Carolis hasn’t fought for over a year and at 36 is coming to the end of a long career.

I think Lerrone Richards should be able to do enough to win a decision due to his technical skill though Carolis has competed at European level for a long time and is a solid fighter.
