Did Buatsi start to decline 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸? 📉 Buatsi’s domestic resume is strong: Craig Richards ✅ Dan Azeez ✅ Willy Hutchinson ✅ Liam Conroy ✅ However, Buatsi’s performance against Zach Parker was met with heavy critique. Similarly, his stock value fell after the Callum Smith defeat. Once heralded as a future star of British boxing, Buatsi has since struggled to penetrate into the top world-level bracket. Are Buatsi’s best days behind him, without really hitting the heights his trajectory was supposed to? Or is that an unfair statement? 🥊 #BuatsiHutchinson2 #JoshuaBuatsi #WillyHutchinson #Boxing

Was Joshua Buatsi hard done by? Buatsi outlanded Willy Hutchinson in power punches ✅ Buatsi outlanded him in total punches too ✅ The official scorecard gave none of the last 3 rounds to Buatsi from 1 judge, David Irving ✅ So with commentary arguably against him & Hutchinson being given preferential treatment - according to Buatsi supporters… was he hard done by on the scorecards? On the other hand, it could be argued that Willy Hutchinson landed a higher % of his punches in every single round. In fact, Hutchinson landed a higher % of jabs, power punches and total shots - across the whole fight. Buatsi’s body language at the final bell too had a deflated demeanour, whereas Hutchinson’s conviction in his emotions was visibly different. So there’s 2 sides to the story, which leaves this open to interpretation. Were the scorecards Joshua Buatsi vs Willy Hutchinson 2 unfair? 🥊 #JoshuaBuatsi #WillyHutchinson #Boxing #buatsi

If Joshua Buatsi retired today, he’d have only ever lost to 2 former/current world champions. Smith ❌ Hutchinson ❌ Is he being judged too harshly? #BuatsiHutchinson2

Hutchinson 116-112 Buatsi on my scorecard. I felt it was conclusive, although Buatsi’s late rally did earn him rounds in the latter stages. I felt he won the first too. Most folks seem to have it a lot closer though, seen 115-113 a lot 🥊 #BuatsiHutchinson2

Had the scorecards relatively wide. Breakdown coming shortly on YouTube 🥊
I predict that Willy Hutchinson will beat Joshua Buatsi to become world champion on Saturday night. Benchmarking on more recent performances (Zach Parker & Callum Smith) - I see Hutchinson avenging his defeat 🥊 #BuatsiHutchinson2

Buatsi & Virgil Hunter’s compatibility has come under serious question, as of late. Virgil’s success with Andre Ward was largely down to SOG being a selective puncher. Buatsi’s output is lower now. But that’s not necessarily been for the better. With that said, however…Joshua Buatsi’s threading needles he previously didn’t 🪡 since pairing up with Hunter. So technically he’s polished up certain parts of his game. Although perhaps at the expense of his physicality? #BuatsiHutchinson2

Joshua Buatsi vs Callum Smith was a fairly 1-sided fight imo. It’s referred to as a ‘classic’. Although I had Smith winning by a considerable margin 🥊 #BuatsiHutchinson2

The last time Deontay Wilder fought on an Anthony Joshua undercard… they were both supposed to main event against each other on the next card. If Joshua beats Fury & Wilder beats Opetaia… it could be a chance to fix what went wrong last time 🥊 AJ vs Wilder next. For a belt!
Welcome to the heavyweight division

Neither Buatsi Hutchinson 2 or Billam Smith Clarke have particularly caught the wider public's attention. Among boxing fans however, Buatsi Hutchinson 2 is driving a lot more conversation on social media. Would be curious to see how viewership numbers contrast between the 2 🥊

My YouTube channel’s hit an iceberg, guys 😬 Since I deleted my videos & did a brand makeover… unfortunately now the algorithm has forgotten who my audience is and 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗺𝘆 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼𝘀 in their feeds 📱 With Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua just six weeks away - I would really value your support if you were able to help me out with engagement, comments etc over the coming weeks. I’ve made a video on what’s happened & what the solution is to resolve this 👇🏽 youtu.be/bJJRJEVIUTU?is=zQrg… I say this sincerely. I value each & every single sentiment of support. And to those who watch my videos regularly, I am (and always will be) indebted to yourselves for helping my channel grow over the years. Thank you 🙏 #Boxing #FuryJoshua

Mbilli hit a ceiling in this fight, but his stock value didn’t necessarily fall of a cliff. The opening 5 rounds of the fight were competitive & then Canelo just stamped his authority on the bout. After which the rest was a shutout win formality 🥊 #CaneloMbilli

Usyk said he’s entertaining the David Benavidez fight… it’s now come from the horse’s mouth. Pun intended 🐴

Chris Mannix just suggested Boots jumping up to 168 to fight Canelo would be the kind of move necessary, to dislodge him as world champion of the division #CaneloMbilli

Canelo threw half as many jabs as Mbilli (literally - not figuratively) & still landed as many jabs as Mbilli in the fight 🥊 #Canelombilli

Canelo’s been saving his volume for the second half of the fight, doing enough to take the round Canelo now winning 4-3
