He's not getting past this version of Bolotniks.He looked terrible against Catic, looked average until the vicious KO of that last nobody he fought. Ricards run over the last year and a half, is far more impressive than anything Buatsi has come close to accomplishing. Buatsi is mentally weak and strikes me as fragile. Bolotniks pressure will be too great, and Buatsi will fade and succumb to it in 8 or 9.
Bautisi is dangerous for any one. Confidence is up two stoppages in a row and he is perfecting that big right on the cheen. Ya heard! He lands that and it's over. Believe it.
I wouldn't be bragging on that Calic stoppage. He really dodged a bullet there, after being comprehensively dominated by the Croatian, and looking like a beaten man and feeling sorry for himself, due to his own eye damage. He's going to fold like a cheap suit the first time he faces someone with legit power and a skillset to match.
I seen that fight and Bautsi was tested in that calic fight but at the end of the day his power was doing damage and he started to break Calic physically and mentally. That's when I started to see how dangerous this guy is for anyone, anywhere and any time. Believe it. I take it back Bautsi is on a 8 in row stoppage streak. He a bad boy!
Lucky for him Calic was an untested below average featherfist then, right? You want to see what will happen to Buatsi the moment he hares the ring with an equally skilled guy? Here you go. And this guy is a featherfist too. And he kind of won easily. This content is protected
I suspect only if Bolotnik manage to KO him then he might win. Then most likely will appear clause ( like Whyte vs Povetkin ). Actually if in depth, Bolotniks pro resume is better than Buatsi pro resume and especially if talk about these Buatsi opponents: BoxRec: Marko Calic BoxRec: Daniel Blenda Dos Santos BoxRec: Ryan Ford Relatively high number of Bolotniks former opponents most likely had 0 problems to finish these guys in distance.
Interesting is also fact that Buatsi for one fight had as an opponent boxer previously beated by the same Bolotniks 2X
Bolotniks for sure is more experienced if look in real depth than these 3 last Buatsi opponents. And he does have very nasty left hooks and half hooks. Not likely he will box vs Buatsi for judges cards. He most likely is supposed to be just next stepping stone for a boxer who maybe will be a b cash cow in future. He had some of this kind of boxers in the ring.
