    Buatsi is definitely one of the best out of all the ones I've seen. There are a few others I can't think of at the moment because I'm really tired. Nistor has a very pro orientated style too.

    Levit, Yellusinov, Hrgovic, La Cruz, the Azeri that just one gold, probably Savon as well as Yoka.

    Quite a number of these are not pro prospects.

    Rich ones and why?

    Got me before the edit, meant to say Levit instead of Nikitib, who got an absolute gift today

    Savon and La Cruz are Cuban to start with.

    Also, I don't think an Azeri won gold yet?

    I had thought that the choice of Nikitin was just inexplicable, but Levit we can at least have an argument about.

    Meant the Uzbek, Dusmatov, I'm all out of sorts lol. I accidentally put Nikitin instead of Levit, and edited it within like 10 seconds, I have no idea how you replied so quickly lol. But yeah, to me Levit is the guy who would make the smoothest transition into the pro ranks right now

    Buatsi's nice, I'm just saying there are more polished prospects out there that have looked better against much tougher opposition.

    Buatsi facing gold medalist from last Olympics
    Should be good
    Needs to immediately establish his jab up and down and target the body early.

    Yeah it should be a knockdown, but Ramirez was also considerably off balance.

    Robeisy is OK on the inside but he always allowed Hammout to take the dominant head positioning, allowing him to be in the right position to land shots on the inside. Robeisy was left reacting to Hammout's work.

    But overall, a good performance by Robeisy, he's stepping it up.


    Buatsi's performance over Benchabla was incredible, a number of standing eight counts and consistently landing very hard punches. Gvozdyk couldn't do anything of the like...hell, who does against Benchabla?

    He's got a tough customer next in Niyazmbetov, let's see how that one goes. I think he's capable, but La Cruz has his number, I believe. But as I agreed before, Buatsi deffo has a chance of winning Gold.
    I can see Buatsi hurting La Cruz with shot where La Cruz is off balance, but Buatsi strikes him so well that it'll hurt him.

    Joe Ward needs to move up to Cruiserweight already. I think one factor why he's been so bad lately is because he probably struggles to make weight. I thought he was going to move up a couple of years ago.

    Buatsi doesn't even make Top 15. People shouldn't get carried away although he's clearly elite. He's proven it somewhat against Benchabla, but it's time for the big leagues now.

    Pretty shocked at some posters here, la cruz has really one loss on his record that was legit, and it was from a man he'd beaten 4 times that year alone in falcao

    mina came nowhere near beating la cruz in the wsb, I've seen the fight, I remember a point deduction cruz got got hitting behind the head, it was a crazy decision

    La cruz has since beat mina 3 times, and beat him twice only 2 months after that wsb robbery very very easily

    and as for ramirez, the guy who beat benchabla, no way did he beat cruz he was schooled and ronald macintosh was in dismay at the decision, cruz has a 3-0 ever round win over ramirez, Ivanov also has a win over lsc in russia aswell, which again if you acutally watched the fight was a shocking hometown decision, a fight where cruz won ever round, I remember alot of people on facebook going mad over that aswell, do your research before you come to a conclusion on here

    Arthur Biyarslanov got robbed terribly by the judges

    Biyarslanov, Nistor, and that guy that faced Nikitin have had the worst robberies so far.
