Tough nights work for Buatsi. Showed some grit to ride the rough spots to get the win. I liked how he adapted and brought his right hand over to his left side to catch Calic's right hands with the open part of his glove and kept digging to the body to open up Calic's solid guard to land the head shots later in the fight. But I didn't like how often he just stood there right in front of Calic with his gloves up and allowed Calic to just work him over at times. He needs to learn to just take a step back and take walk when he doesn't want to work and slow the pace down when he needs it. Simply staying in range will see him get beat when he steps up. As for the ending I think Calic wanted out he kept looking at his corner. Eventually the corner realised he wanted no more and threw in the towel.
Yeah, I'm opinionated, but I genuinely didn't see his warning and then next thing I know I'm banned and I didn't get that nasty about it.
IB, genuinely, you can't also behave like your scoring is infallible and can't be judged by us mere non-staff mortals. I've probably boxed more than you so I know what I'm watching as well. I can also have a difference of opinion without getting banned over something innocuous. If I was being a **** I get it, but I wasn't and I feel genuinely wronged here.
Well, if they bet on the exact round they could make quite a bit of money, but I was joking, obviously. The stoppage just looked very premature to me and I really don't understand why the corner stopped it.
I do like Buatsi, yes, but your ban had nothing to do with that - and neither did my scoring, considering I had it a draw as of the stoppage and gave the Croatian the very close round three, which he probably lost more of timewise although Buatsi was the more hurt during Ćalić's brief late period of success. I quite like Ćalić actually, based on this showing, and look forward to seeing him again.
You were being a ****. One time screeching "OMG WHAT HOW COULD YOU SCORE IT THAT WAY YOU'RE WRONG" can perhaps be overlooked, but you then did a second time while freshly on my radar, detracting from my time of typing up my RBR posts (note that I didn't actually complete one for the fourth round - that's your fault).
Man my ban clearly had to do with me not being in lockstep over something as contentious as boxing... You can't expect agreement over a sport that subjective.
Except I wasn't and you're now exaggerating because you were the one behaving like a pissed off teenager. I made a joke by the way when I asked if you were being paid by sky. You just weren't in the mood for it because I hurt your ego.
I like Bautsi.He was getting tested and respond more than well in my opinion. Calic was punished for daring to go lefty and it was over. But actually Calic held on at every Bautsi onslaught. So in my opinion he can't handle the fuselage of punches. I believe not many can take Bautsi shots he hits hard and in bunches.
IDGAF about anyone agreeing with me. The point is you are not to quote the host of the RBR in two consecutive rounds screaming at them for having it another way than you and calling their scoring "terrible". (when, 1. as you say, this is subjective and 2. the second round was close, whether you and @CST80 like it or not. Ćalić did very good work, and was showing that he was game and on Buatsi's level which I think most of us didn't expect given his lack of pedigree in the pros so far - but you guys might've suffered from a bit of 'better than expected' fallacy there, in thinking it was SO clear that somebody couldn't possibly mark it as "close for Buatsi"... and I'm not the only person that saw it that way)
It was terrible scoring in my opinion. I'm not allowed say that? Then my lord you're fragile. I was more watching how Buatsi didn't land much clean because Calic was blocking or moving out of range quickly for most of his shots. Not just "better than expected", I expected him to be a good outside fighter. I looked into his amateur pedigree before this fight.
I thought buatasi did well Obviously he has improvement to make However he caught a lot with his gloves and for arms and has an accurate right
Well, I was going to lift it as soon as you acknowledged this: ...but, you've done nothing but whinge and argue, on your illegal alt, so - maybe not?
