HIGHLIGHTS | Joshua Buatsi vs. Ricards Bolotniks

[@johnscarborough4746]

Definitely the type of fight that young prospects need if they are going to make the next step up in their career.

[@HerbEVore-ti6hs]

A high-level fight. Bolotniks coming back in round 6 after these hard punches in bunches shows the quality of both fighters.

[@LeoVocalMusicCovers]

An absolutely fantastic performance from Buatsi. He must have learned a lot about himself during this very tough, and technical fight. This is exactly the fight he needed to move him up to the next level and more so for self-confidence. Fair play to Bolotniks - he got himself into magnificent shape and was definitely in there to win - what a tough tough man he is. No shame at all in losing to the better man. onward and upward for our man Joshua Buatsi.

Fans always boo when a fighter takes a breather after a groin shot until they see the replay lol

[@jonboirodriguez]

Should of just been a warning anyways I don't know why he took a point out right away

[@jamesbrewer5111]

@@jonboirodriguez I think he had been warned earlier actually, not 100% sure but don’t feel like re watching again lol. Either way I agree I’ve seen fighters get way more of a leash there before the ref starts docking points.

Some of the highlights in that 6th round is what dreams are made of. Entertainment incarnate.

Fantastic perfomance from Buatsi, he is putting in work in there and this was a risky fight! Bolotnik is a Dangerous guy

[@Drmville]

Watched this live great fight and a test Joshua passed

[@timtom9450]

Barely. Not impressed at all against a poor fighter. People act like he's the next best thing since sliced bread. He didn't prove that in this fight.

[@timtom9450]

@@HerbEVore-ti6hs you are totally missing my point. You obviously do not pay attention to the super hype of Joshua. Like he is the next best thing since sliced bread. Over hyped. Under performance totally compared to the super hype of him. The way everyone has been talking the last week he should have knocked out Bolo in 10 seconds of the 1st round no matter if Bolo came to win. And this wasn't a high level fight.

[@Sarissa99]

Great boxer with heavy and explosive hands

[@juniormyrie7404]

Joshua needs to improve that defence if he wants to win a world title. His head movement is pretty poor. He would have learnt a lot though 👍🏾👍🏾

[@3rdeye917]

I couldn’t agree more. Also needs to stay controlled when he hurts his man. He relied on his power and wild shots that gassed him out after the first knockdown.

[@p-medical3012]

And leg movements too

[@Theonecamcam123321]

@@3rdeye917 I don’t think he was gassed out at alo

[@3rdeye917]

@@Theonecamcam123321 yeah not completely. He lost control and expanded a lot of energy. Towards the end of the rush you can see the fatigue from how slow his punches were and how they weren’t as crispy. At :35 in the 6th it looked like they both mutually clenched to me that indicates he needed a quick rest but to each his own 🙏🏾

[@musicclassic5938]

From this footage I don't think Buatsi is ready for Bivol, even though I see Buatsi a lot more competitive against Bivol than against Beterbiev. If Bolotniks had Beterbiev's power he'd have taken Buatsi out early, since Buatsi's defense was quite leaky. Bolotniks countered him consistently but did not have power to hurt him. With Beterbiev it would have been lights out for Buatsi early in the fight.

[@timoteiros1952]

Great punch variety by Buatsi

[@navakashgill2967]

Really glad he’s training with Virgil, though it will surely take patience and time, under Virgil Hunters tutelage Joshua can thrive and become a title contender.

[@classicdriprob4850]

Buatsi Looking like A Champion 🏆🤴🏿🥊

[@fakefriendocrat9324]

Looks like Buatsi needs to keep his head off the center line more often and do more feints.

[@TavaraTheLaughingLion]

Not sure yet if he can face a Bivol or Beterbiev. I suppose Virgil Hunter can get him there but I'm really not sure.

[@chrisaddo9359]

Congratulations

[@johnfive4869]

Great fight,Bolotniks take so much punches but keep on fight,Buatsi was faster and he beat more blasts on face

Agreed. He got caught a few times

[@ianmwangi4591]

Against Bivol he can't win

[@thuthukanimasondo9620]

Only if Bolotniks had decent punching power, he could've won. Took a lot of Buatsi punches & didn't test his chin coz he has no power.

Буатси не наработал на кэф в тотализаторе. повезло,что ему позволили вести бой на нужной ему дистанции! А Ричард сделает работу над ошибками и думаю даст мощный реванш

Buatsi won't go any far. He has poor defense and looks unidimensional. He Will fallnas soon as he Will fight a top levels opponent

[@Ryuksgelus]

How is Bolotiks only 32 here?? Him and Briedis look the opposite in age. Buatsi doesn't move his head and seems to tire by the championship rounds. Is his lack of stamina genetic or does he not run?

[@gokcansrca5077]

Buatsin dont win to bivol..bivol number one in light heawyweight

[@selfmade8884]

He’d lose to any of the top guys. Bolotniks is a C level fighter. Buatsi has terrible defense and he’s stiff. He doesn’t look like he’s world champion material, maybe a domestic level champion. He should fight Anthony Yarde.

If Buatsi needed 11 round to finish with Ricards, a man that anibody know. ¿How is posible what he can distroy to Bivol?.

[@chardetownsend6300]

Only chance Buatsi has to beat Yarde is to catch him with a 1shot K.o... too slow, doesn't move his head at all, doesn't switch his defense up... I don't see this beating Yarde when he is focused, no way unless he just has an off night
