Joshua Buatsi vs. Zachary Parker & Bradley Rea vs. Lyndon Arthur - Round by Round.

He’s always been like that to me, there’s never any urgency, interest or hunger

 

Only week in week out…

We need the guys in the media and high up the chain to call it out and be much more vocal about these decisions, it gets forgotten about much too easily

What did buatsi actually land?

 

I'm on my way back home from Burnley, what happened in the main event? Did Parker actually beat Buatsi?

 

Lol that is the biggest brown envelope decision ever.

 

He did but not officially, I’m not sure even buatsi believed the result

 

Nope, Buatsi got a very questionable points victory

 

Is Buatsi still with Virgil?

 

Tough one for Parker to take and only thing I can think of is that the judges didn’t enjoy the holding/throwing himself to canvas repeatedly. I felt Parker won but think it was closer than Frampton who gave Buatsi 1 round… for pity (I mean really never heard of someone scoring a round out of pity before)

Parker deserves a rematch imo, what Buatsi said afterwards is true, you take the win if you get it… but if he is genuinely a nice guy he would grant Zach the rematch

 

Yeah and he was outside the ring for some reason… was weird to see. Not sure about anyone else but I don’t actually rate him as a coach, imo Andre Ward was a special fighter and could have coached himself and anyone else he’s coached I haven’t seen amazing results or changes

 

Parker won that by three or four rd's for me scrappy fight but Buatsi was so slow to exchanges, missing and countered.

Pretty poor quality fight, but if that's the level of judging on TV fights and some of you may know Ive been constant that BBOC level has been awful for decades, I'm not normally surprised but I was tonight, Parker won easily, Buatsi got a gift.

 

Absolute robbery that I had Parker winning 7-3 and that's probably being generous to Buatsi.
Terrible fight mind you neither man is going anywhere based on that.

 

Disgusting scorecards. I had Parker winning it 8-2.

 

Never got the obsession with fighters going over to America to train. Plenty of good trainers over here. He needs to get active rather than faffing about in America.

 

He was horrendous tonight Smith.

Another thing - we were all sad about Hatton but it doesn’t need mentioning 100 times across every fight night for the foreseeable.

 

He has NEVER been right for Buatsi. Think he needs to come home and find a more offensive minded coach
