Joshua Buatsi v Pawel Stepien - 6/5/23

[Primo Carnera]

Guys who are ranked top 5 in the World rankings with governing bodies should not be fighting 10 rounders no matter how long they’ve been out of the ring.

Comfortable for Buatsi , but a good blow out. What he needs now is momentum. He needs to get back in the ring asap.
Clearly the relationship between him and Hunter hasn’t quite hit it off yet, but it’ll be quite exciting if they do get more used to each other.
I’ve always liked Buatsi, but he needs to get back in the ring quick as he can.

I’d shag Anna btw.

I thought it was going to be 12 rounds. They must have changed it late in the day.

Disappointing performance from Buatsi. Inactivity and ring rust is not an excuse. Buatsi should have fought at a higher pace.

Nice bit of respectful banter between Azeez and Buatsi.

Azeez is a good commentator. You should hear what Ben Whittaker and Azeez were saying to one another. It was very funny.

Buatsi believes now is the time to fight rival London light-heavyweight Yarde.

In a message for Yarde, he declared: "While the titles are tied up, let's do something.

"If Yarde is the man for me to box next, I'm more than happy to make that happen," Buatsi told Sky Sports.

After going the distance with Stepien, Buatsi could be viewed as the underdog going into a fight with Yarde.

"Maybe," Buatsi said. "Someone might sit there and say, 'Yarde's explosive. He's going to come, he's going to bang him out.'

"Let's see if that would happen."

Buatsi knows that a fight with Yarde is almost guaranteed to deliver fireworks. He'll be looking to win it by knockout himself.

"I wouldn't say it would be easy but I think it's something that's doable," he said. "I just know I can win and there would be 12 rounds to try and do it."

"Yarde came off a loss. Would he fight me next? But usually, when people come off a world championship loss they fight a lower-level opponent to get the ball rolling again. Then they might jump back in. But there's been some that have jumped straight back into a big fight.

"He might say I want big fights back to back to back and say let's fight Buatsi.

"It can happen."
