    Yeah pretty rubbish to be honest, blown up super middleweight ford who lost to yildirim

    This time last year they were apparently working on buatsi vs mikalkain which is so much better

    I've never heard of him so I checked boxrec and he looks like a absolute killer but his record stinks.

    Was meant to fight Yarde a while back, and Warren got an absolute filling for it.

    Pretty poor. 37 now, career SMW and wasn't that good anyway. He was competitive with Chudinov but still lost.

    Buatsi should be fighting better opponents than this by now.

    Maybe.
    But don't think it would be fair, because just take a look at what Yarde was fighting at that point of his career. He had just fought his 2nd opponent sporting a winning record.

    It's a bad opponent for sure, but compared to Yarde he's being fasttracked.

    Buasti should be fighting better. Still not not giving the Yarde stick due to him beating better opposition in less fights than Yarde.

    He should do. He is an Olympian.

    2 years as a pro now, really needs to step it up going into his third year.

    Haven't had a problem with Buatsi's opponent's so far given his career stage, but it's time to step up.

    When he’s ranked 2 in the world and ducking fighters at domestic level then he deserves the criticism Yarde got. Right now he deserves criticism but he’s nowhere near the stage Yarde was at when he was getting criticised for opponents.

    Yarde doesn't pick his fights and he doesn't rank himself.
