What’s everyone’s thoughts so far? Cordina strikes me a bit of Josh Kelly. Very fancy head movement and footwork but doesn’t do much else, nicks a few rounds and scrapes through. Gets stopped when he steps up. Buatsi so far for me gets beaten by Yarde, admittedly I’m paused in round 3. Far too open and doesn’t really mix his punches up. Hoping for a Hughie win, decent night so far.
Good performance by Buasti against a step up in quality against a durable fighter. It was a low blow but the stability in his legs where gone and was on his way out.
Was a clear low blow, think Ford was done anyway. Hearn saying Buatsi is ready for a title shot and beats Kovalev. Then comments way off the mark. I’d actually have Yarde quite early in that fight. Buatsi does carry power, bit just picks the same pointless punches.
I thought from the last replay angle they showed it looked like a low blow whilst it wasnt clear on the the first few replay angles.
Missed it, i’m having an awful time with this ppv. Got people round so paid for it for reliability. Rang sky, been passed around from pillar to post. Missed all fights before Buatsi and only got that on at round 5. It keeps buffering still. My signal is bang on. Fuming.
I do like Buatsis jab, it's nice and crisp and he throws a left hook disguised as a jab sometimes which is a nice shot. Decent power also. He's far too open to the right hand though, that's the main flaw I've noticed with him. His defence just wanders a bit too much when he starts to let his hands go fully. Needs more learning fights though at this level or just above, learn how to unlock opponents better, be caused some problems and get some decent experience, I think Hearn knows that also. The LHW division is stacked with good fighters and all the world champions are either good or great. Wait until maybe someone like a Beterbiev ages.
Absolute joke mate. Had those problems before for Haye v Bellew on the online box office stream which I paid for.
