    Like I said it was very competitive fight. Spider must be a frustrating guy to train.

    I thought it was close but clear, I had no doubt Buatsi had won even if Spider was always in it and was the better fighter in the latter rounds.

    Where did I say I wasn't impressed with the fight. I was just laughing at you making the most predictable post ever after this fight. Guess it's on brand.

    On that showing I think Yarde against either of them is a very good fight. I wouldn't be confident picking Richards over Yarde but I'd probably go with Buatsi now but there would be fireworks.
    Both have a better jab than Yarde but both are quite easy to hit and Yarde does carry a good amount of pop to keep them more honest.

    Worse things wrong with boxing but main event start times are a massive bugbear of mine. 1st Bell 10.00 latest. Stick it on at 9.00 perhaps then the kids staying up can see as well. Put a feature bout on after. Wood Conlan started late as well

    All the Matchroom lot like Chris Lloyd used to slag Warren’s shows off for empty seats and late main events but it was exactly the same last night and has become the norm for Matchroom shows.

    Yep Mathcroom start times have been creeping later and later.

    Agree. I'm long past the regular "out late on Saturday night" routine, and if I ever was, boxing wouldn't be top priority anyway. Barely made it to the end of last night's fight, lying in bed with the wireless on.

    You can forgive late headliners if it's either a huge fight or you really do have a stacked undercard. Last nights chief support was yet another tedious 10 round women's fight, the second one of the evening, and despite what some might claim, the reality is no one cares about them and they completely suck the atmosphere out of the whole thing. I enjoyed Buatsi/Richards when it finally arrived, but getting there felt like a real chore.

    By the time the main event came around I was pretty much asleep. Can remember about 3 rounds. The undercard was boring and drawn out whereas if it was good I doubt I’d have fallen asleep.

    I came close to turning off when I saw there was still a 10 round women's fight to go before the main event. People calling for these fights to be upped to 3 minute rounds need to be sectioned.

    and Chantelle Cameron has had the cheek to say Matchroom aren’t pushing her enough. Her last 2 fights have been main event and co main event at the O2. Does she want them to book Wembley out for her or something.
