Got it 2 a piece, maybe 3-1 Calic. Gave the 3rd clear to Calic, 4th to Buatsi. 1st I think Calic and 2nd round a toss up Good 5th by Buatsi. That's what you need to see if Buatsi is going to fulfill his promise.
Round 5 Ćalić is throwing five punch combinations past the jab of Buatsi, falling into clinches after having scored more in the quick exchanges. Buatsi stepping in with the same lone jab and finding it countered in multiples, yet to come up with a plan B. Ćalić just keeps stringing together hooks and overhands whenever Buatsi extends himself with the jab before they collide and tie up. Buatsi has a nice last half-minute, stinging Ćalić with a body shot and some rights up top. Not enough to steal it back, though. Having said that, Ćalić will need to clear those cobwebs on his stool or be in trouble at the start of the sixth. 10-9 Ćalić 48-47 Buatsi
He doesn't deserve that. At all. I mean, if he was trolling, I'd get that, but those rounds were clearly Catic rounds.
Johnson hits like a Mack truck so I would expect Buatsi to approach the fight very differently but, right now, I think Buatsi needs another busy 12 months before taking on Johnson.

The Last 2 rounds to Buatsi, got it 3-3 at the moment and just seeing a few signs of fatigue in Calic.
Yeah they were, and cut him some slack. Sometimes he's the only guy who's on these RBR's other than us. Diddy is far more grating and deserving of a permaban than he is, yet he's gotten pass after pass, this was his first offense, and he's a far better poster.
Round 6 Ćalić is doubling his jab and rolling his neck as he ducks in close to Buatsi, shoulder-tackling him across the William Hill logo at ring center. Buatsi works short uppercuts, attempting in vain to split the guard of Ćalić and then hooking wide up top. Ćalić is feinting successfully, getting Buatsi to swivel partway around before reaching in with a right into the forehead. Uppercutting flurry and then a hook from Buatsi make Ćalić step outside and pause his next combination just as he was revving it up. Good tactical stuff here. 10-9 Ćalić 57-57
