Edging towards Buatsi on points. Think he may be a tad too fresh for Smith. I know Buatsi hasn't been the most active but Smith has fought 5 times in 5 years and had a couple of beatings plus some injuries.
Neither have a big win and both well into thirties I have a feeling Buatsi is definitely better though. Smith is rubbish in my opinion.
I am leaning towards Smith via KO. Buatsi has always been too easy to hit even fighting at a low level, and Smith can bang if he can get his jab going early doors.
A fight between 2 overhyped guys who love a tune up! Winner get the other guy who loves tune up's! If Smith lands i think he takes Buatsi out.
No one loves a tune up more than Yarde And I agree, Smith on good form I think wins this, can see him landing a big catch counter
Is there a lack of potential (Josh), or decline (Callum) from these two. Is Josh tough enough and has Callum still 'got it'. Really interested to see the outcome here. Whatever outcome it's still hard to use this as a yardstick to where both fighters move on to, especially Josh.
I'm thinking Buatsi but obviously could go either way. Just thinking he's a bit fresher and sharper. Smith has all the experience and should be favourite on paper but I think Buatsi will rise to the occasion and get the win.
If Smith had anything left then he wins comfortably imo. I feel like he'll even force a stoppage one way or another. I'm not convinced about Buatsi at world level.
Callum for me. Good domestic match up, again. I just think Callum’s seasoned at a higher level and it will show. Callum has said it’s a fight that motivates him so I expect the best version of Smith to turn up.
who's Smith beat at world level? Every time he's stepped up he's lost and he was fortunate to face Groves at the end who was a shell. He even lost to John Ryder and got an absolute gift. Smith is being overrated to **** on here
I agree, I think Smith is massivly overrated he was a euro level fighter. I'm not high in Buatsi, anybody who constantly avoids fights and takes the easy route is hiding something. Let's see if it's glass
