    Do you not think that's why their taking it slowly with Buglioni because it's only his 12th fight and as you said he struggled a couple of times.

    Buglioni is a work in progress, but he is improving if his last two performances are anything to go by. People need to forget Buglioni's WBO Euro title what's important is he is in 12 rounders now. You have to take it slow with a raw talent like Buglioni and build him gradually. At the end of the day he is only a young guy, no hurry.

    I'm guessing this 28-10 guy he's fighting next is better than the 0-8 fighter he debuted against, or the 4-5-0 guy I saw him fight at the Royal Albert Hall in his fourth fight, or the 3-20 guy he fought after that.

    I can't be certain, but I think he might be a bit better.

    Buglioni. Think very little of him. Still, he's better than a certain second gen British super-middleweight that should have been aborted.

    12 fights is nothing really.
    I remember the days of George Collins and his 35-0

    Yeah fair enough he is better than previous but probably not too much of a test as he'll likely be a lot smaller.

    Completely agree but he should be fighting supermiddleweights or he should be making middleweight (which I doubt as he looks fairly big).

    Didn't give me any pleasure to see that but I knew it would come at some point.

    You must be some kind of prophet. A prospect with appararent flaws gets beaten because of those flaws. Well I never

    The majority of boxers get beaten at some point, Mystic Meg lives on via a Boxing forum.

    If my post sounded like a 'I told you so' it wasn't really meant to be.

    I like the lad,but any momentum he has generated has been very much a London phenomenon,can't see much beyond British,perhaps European level for him.

    The flaws he showed tonight are very worrying, he consistently got hit with flush right hands and didn't adapt even when the shits were there for all to see

    I feel this defeat ,ah have taken a lot,out of him, hopefully he can work on it and come back a better fight but I don't hold out too much hope

    So yeah, the opponent turned out to be an OK step up.

    Buglioni I would of loved to see him do well but I couldn't see him going beyond the level he is at.

    The technical flaws exposed,he is young and I hope he can come back a real gent actually.

    Just couldn't see him as the star his promoter believed he could be.
