Buasti vs Yarde

Its such a tough one to call. Yardes CV isnt exactly good. He had 1 round against Kovalev and had a decent win over Arthur, after losing toa one armed version.

Buatsi has faced nobody of note and has pulled out of more fights than Tyson Fury.

So difficult to call based on what we have seen which is a typical of how UK boxing brings through prospects most of the time.

 

Frank won't let one of his golden boys fight on a Hearn show

 

There’s questions over Buatsi but I’d pick him over Yarde any day. The fight will never happen though.

 

Oh look the narrative pushed by some in response to this was dead wrong.

Funny how yardes camp haven't said the offer was terrible. They want the Smith fight.

 

Literally 2 people out of how many posts ffs. Waaaaah somebody said somthing about Eddie Hearn waaaah. Get a grip

 

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't, if he did, then show us the paper work, as my dear ole dad used to say " what cant speak, cant lie " lest we forget, talk is cheap !! keep safe.

 

This plus also worth noting the success AJ had and how he was handled has IMO created un rwalistic demands on other boxers. AJ was handled perfectly be Hearn and (whether you like or hate AJ) there is no denying he was/is one of the best heavyweights in the world. That led to insane pressure on all olympians after, i remember before Fowler even had been to the olympics he was being touted as the next carl froch. That said Buatsi's CV can only be judged by the standard of opponent and its not great.

 

Close to zero chance of this happening while Yarde is with Frank Warren and is arguably his key or one of his key fighters, certainly after Dubois.

If and it's a big if they both win and simultaneously hold world titles, and are past their peak physically with money being too big to turn down there may be a slim chance but we are nowhere near that point and probably never will be.

If it were to happen I would pick Buatsi all day long, no question.

There is now a decent (probably slowly edging close to 50-50) chance we will see Buatsi vs Richards this year, that is far more realistic.

 

Why should anyone know what boxers get paid? If it was in the US where purses (sort of) get declared for sanctioning reasons, then fair enough; fair enough if there's official PPV numbers people could dig into. Otherwise it's none of our business.

I like old Frank but don't believe a word of these 'offers' he talks about on IFL and elsewhere.

 

Neither have ever let a fighter above British level go on the others platform. Such a shame all these videos are absolutely pointless.
