Joshua Buatsi vs. Ričards Bolotņiks & Michael McKinson vs. Przemysław Runowski RBR.

he’s had a really good camp and tons of sparring, in the best shape of his career and loves to go to the body. Let’s go bomber!

 

Buatsi is one of the biggest fake prospects out there in the UK. His defense is so shockingly bad.

I like his zen approach, wants the belt and recognizes how important the opportunity is but when asked what he plans to do to get pumped for it, says he's just going to jam some good music.

 

Bellew doesn't look far off being in fighting nick, innit?

 

Mad to see Ade presenting on DAZN, I've been following his YouTube channel since he had a few hundred subscribers. He's a good presenter, not afraid to give his opinion which he tends to back up with proper knowledge.

 

Looks like Campbell has saved up some cash. Good for him. Hope his businesses succeed.

 

Are they playing lawn cricket?

 

Can someone explain to me why a few on here see Bolotniks as some sort of threat to Buatsi. His record doesn't look great, barely any names on it and suggests Euro level at best.

 

His record doesn't look great? His record is two or three levels above Buatsis record. And Buatsi is 28 not 23.

Of course Bolotniks hasn't beaten any world class fighters but names like Michel, Ward, Burton or Ekimov are all decent. Ward was supposed to be another hot prospect from the UK.

Did you watch any Buatsi fights? He looked pretty bad in some of his fights and hasn't even fought one guy on the same level of Bolotniks. His best win is Ryan Ford. A journeyman. And he needed a low blow to take him out.

Bolotniks 2.0 is a pressure heavy boxer puncher. Very strong guy. He'll come forward with a high guard. We'll see how Buatsis deals with that. His defense is shaky and shady and suspect.

 

Zelfa Barrett vs. Viorel Simion 8 rounds @ Super Featherweight

 

Round 1: 10-8 Barrett

Barrett working the body with wide combos to the left and right, one of his body shots goes through and drops Simion to a knee. Barrett takes it easy for the rest of the round and counters to the body a few times.

 

Round 1: 10-8 Barrett
Round 2: 10-9 Barrett

Barrett looks like a Welterweight in here. He sticks and moves for the entire round countering and sticking the jab right into Simions face. Some nice flashy combos by Barrett but it doesn't look like his power affects Simion. Simion comes forward with a high guard until the bell ends the round. Barrett is definitely a KO waiting to happen. He's terrible.

 

Round 1: 10-8 Barrett
Round 2: 10-9 Barrett
Round 3: 10-9 Barrett

Low blow from Barrett was the most entertaining punch of the round. Barrett is boring but he's winning comfortably. Simion gives it a go but he's outmatched in speed and size.

 

Round 1: 10-8 Barrett
Round 2: 10-9 Barrett
Round 3: 10-9 Barrett
Round 4: 10-9 Barrett

Simion opens up a lot more this round but getting countered. Another low blow. Break. Reset. The two clown commentators trying their best to hype Barrett up. Some flashy combos by Barrett. Jabs by Barrett. Left hook by Barrett rocks Simion who stumbles backwards but responds with a flurry and he backs Barrett up who looks surprised for a second.
