    I reckon Buatsi puts a beating on Yarde despite being so much smaller.

    Would like to see Buatsi v Richards next though.

    Is he smaller? Heard he’s deceptively big and sure he’s got height and reach?

    4 fights in but he does look the real deal...yarde is a good fighter but buatsi looks different class...

    Just going by what I see on TV. To be honest mate I don't know much about boxing but trying to learn.

    Buatsi by decision. Yarde can hang in there, he can take the punches, he's pretty sturdy. Same can be said about Buatsi. But buatsi doesn't just have a good chin, he has an exceptional defense to go along with it. And his offense is just as good as Yarde's is. Maybe Yarde has a slight power advantage, but it's very slight.

    Buatsi can adapt, we've seen that in the amateurs. I think he will just use movement and box Yarde's head off. He'll come in a little heavier than usual, still lighter than Yarde though. He doesn't put a beating on Yarde though. At least not a beating in terms of power and physicality. Buatsi dominates, I have this 10 rounds to 2 to Buatsi. I think Yarde will get to him once or twice, and nick a round or two.

    Look, Yarde isn't terrible. I personally think Yarde is a decent fighter, but I think he's just short of world champion material. He's one of those, that if he does win a world title, it'll be against a weak-ish opponent. Against the top of the tree in the division, he gets dominated. For Yarde, Buglioni is a much more sensible opponent. I can't split the two of them in that fight.

    Buatsi is world champion material, and possibly even Hall of Famer material as well. Buatsi has pretty much everything. He can box, and he can fight. Good offense, good defense, good brain. He is the best in Eddie's stable in my opinion.

    Nothing wrong with that.

    People from Manchester supported Ricky Hatton like Leeds and Warrington.

    I follow black fighters because I appreciate the struggle they go through. Don't take it so personally.

    Amir Khan is **** I've never rated the guy.

    Joshua won Olympic Gold he earnt everything he has. He's popular because he's a great fighter, good looking and has crossover appeal to the mainstream.

    You sound like a bitter white guy whose jealous of POC who achieve great things.

    There’s absolutely nothing to suggest that Yarde could hang in there. He’s never been in with anyone who can punch. 15% KO ratios etc. I don’t think he’s as bad as some make out on here but most of that is down to FW and his matchmaking.

    Hutchinson and Buatsi are the ones to watch in the division. European and world amateur champion and Olympic bronze medalist. They have stellar backgrounds. You can see Yarde has raw power and brute force but the other two look like classy boxers who can pack a punch too.

    ‘The struggle they go through’

    Are we back in the 1960’s?

    I got news for you.Every boxer goes through a struggle.Race means nothing at amateur and pro level in the sport these days and mongols like you just needlessly transport us back to a divide.

    I would be shocked if Yarde went the distance he blows out his arse after 3 rounds.

    He is selling t shirts saying “stamina for sale” I don’t know whether it’s meant to be ironic.

    It must be as he's carrying to much muscle to have stamina. Should concentrate on learning boxing fundamentals and his promoter should try not to tell people he's already one of the best in the division on the world scene.

    Great fighter and a fellow Scot BUT it would be a huge mistake to put him in with buatsi - he will go further

    Both terrific talents buy as a fellow Scotsman I agree with you. I actually think Hutchinson should fight at SMW with the day before weight ins I am sure he would make the weight no problems.
