Keith Richardson's Pre-Fight Reflections Before Title Clash at BKFC 62
Hollywood, FL – In the highly anticipated BKFC 62 Co-Main Event, the undefeated challenger Alberto “El Indio” Blas faced off against the reigning champion Keith “The Rockstar” Richardson for the BKFC World Bantamweight Championship. Before the event, BigFace from Knuckletown caught up with Richardson after the weigh-ins, where the champ shared his thoughts and mindset leading into the fight.
Richardson, known for his disciplined and respectful approach, exuded confidence and calm as he discussed his preparation for the fight. "This has been one of my best camps and best weight cuts," he remarked, emphasizing his unwavering focus and readiness. Despite Blas's aggressive demeanor at the press conference, Richardson maintained his composure, asserting that he thrives under pressure and welcomes the challenge.
When asked about Blas's attempts to unsettle him, Richardson explained that such tactics don't affect him. "I'm a gunfighter. I'm not going to let him get in my face and bother me. It's not my style," he stated, highlighting his stoic nature. His commitment to staying in top form year-round was evident as he described his training routine, which remains intense and consistent, even when not in camp.
As the owner of his gym and a leader by example, Richardson draws parallels between his fighting career and his time in the Marines. "I lead from the front, just like I did in the Marines," he noted, underscoring his dedication to his fighters and his own continuous improvement. The champ also mentioned that the altercation with Blas at the weigh-ins was a rare occurrence for him, but he was resolute in defending his title. "He's going to have to kill me to get this off me," Richardson declared, showcasing his determination.
The excitement surrounding BKFC 62 was palpable, with three championship fights headlining the event. Richardson expressed his enthusiasm for being part of such a significant card, praising the atmosphere and the venue. "Hard Rock's beautiful. I love fighting in these cities like Miami and Fort Lauderdale," he shared, reflecting on his positive experiences fighting in the area.
Despite facing a hometown favorite in Blas, Richardson was confident that he would win over the local crowd. "I'm still going to put on a great show for them. I hope they turn into Rockstar fans after the fight," he said, anticipating a thrilling contest.
However, the fight night took an unexpected turn. Alberto “El Indio” Blas delivered a stunning first-round TKO, dethroning Richardson in just 70 seconds. Blas, now undefeated in his first five BKFC fights, all by first-round stoppage, demonstrated his prowess and solidified his status as the new BKFC World Bantamweight Champion. Richardson, with a BKFC record now standing at 4-1, faced a challenging loss but remained a respected figure in the sport.
As Richardson reflects on this fight and continues to train with his trademark discipline and honor, fans eagerly await his next move in the bare-knuckle arena. For now, the spotlight shines on Blas, the formidable new champion, who has made a resounding statement in the world of bare-knuckle boxing.
