I get Howard Eastman vibes off of Buatsi. Obvious physical similarities aside, he moves like him, he's enigmatic like him. I hope he's not quite as 'enigmatic' as the Battersea Bomber.

Buatsi looked the genuine business when he arrived on the scene. Classy, powerful and with a wise head on his shoulders. He's drifted into something of obscurity lately. By the time he gets twenty fights on his ledger he'll be knocking on for ten years as a pro. His progress has been so slow and so underwhelming, that Yarde has somehow managed to leapfrog him in the UK pecking order by virtue of having the shit beaten out of him twice.

If the Yarde fight is there he should take it. I suspect that Yarde will once again find that his bully boys tactics that overwhelms Pavel from Station cars, will not work on Buatsi and he'll catch a beating again. Other than that, Buatsi needs to mix in quality and often.
