Nov 2nd in Manchester. I've been following Caparello (30-3-1, 13 KOs) since he fought Kovalev back in '14. He's a decent, pillow hands but fairly slick, contender level fighter who's only been knocked out by a prime Kovalev. He should present a very good test for Buatsi here. I don't know if this is a WBA eliminator but Buatsi might be in line for a title shot against Bivol early next year if he wins this. He's ranked by all alphabet organizations, #2 by the WBA (while Caparello is at #8). Thoughts?
I just get a feeling that as talented and good as Buatsi is... he just don’t have that experience or seasoning yet or reached his potential before fighting Bivol or other top guys. I feel he is still a few fights away for some reason
