Round-by-Round: Joshua Buatsi vs. Craig Richards - 21 May 2022

[Fightnight Scores]

I bet the judges are suddenly filling in their scorecards, thinking,
"oh fvck - I've just been enjoying this. Erm.., Probably 6-2 Babic with a 10-8 maybe..?"

Would be their best ever judging in fairness

[skanksta]

BOOM !

[gregregegg]

snuck that in late.. smart.

[jameswilson]

Frig me.

He threw that right on the bell I thought could not pull out of it.

This will be very controversial if Balski wins but for me the bell sounded right as it landed.

[skanksta]

Babic will box the last round cautiously off the back foot ?!

Was it after the bell ??

[Fightnight Scores]

Balski needs to go for this. Has to stop Babic to win.

[Boxerbeetle]

Balski should have been going all out in this round. Shit.

[skanksta]

and there's the respect !

What a fight. What entertainment.

[jameswilson]

Great one from
balski deciding to box and move in the last ffs.

[Fightnight Scores]

What a fight. Those are two hard bastards! Fair play to them both.

[skanksta]

What's great is the way that Babic only had to avoid getting stopped to win, but - even though he still had shaky legs and was badly buzzed - he just came forward looking for the KO !
He can't fight any other way.

[Blueprint]

Absolutely crazy fight.

[milpool]

The winner and new…pub car park champion…!

[1002980]

Babic down to Cruiser to face Jack Massey for the IBO 'title'

[jameswilson]

Expect Balski will get a shot at Okolie or CBS next


That will put things into perspective.

[skanksta]

Yes Andy Lee we would all watch a rematch.
Even with 2x 10-8s agasint him, Babic a clear winner.

[Dioufy]

96-92 Cabbage.
Frig. Loughlin had a mare there and tried to give him as much recovery time as possible.
That punch landed on the bell.

[milpool]

Another women’s fight next to kill the audience after that barn burner!

[1002980]

Shades of Dom Negus v Eddie Knight.

[jameswilson]

Not saying the result would change but I always thought WBC Silver title fights were 12 rounds.

[JamesPhilips]

I got 99 problems but Babic ain’t one

[1002980]

Another women’s fight next to kill the audience after that barn burner!

Agree, this should have been chief support.

[skanksta]

Babic in a 10 round WAR.
Then Chantelle Cameron against Bustos.

Like a DJ coming on set in Ibiza at 2 am and playing Coldplay.

[Fightnight Scores]

96-92 Cabbage.

That punch landed on the bell.

Same score as me....thought the point deduction was harsh...give Babic some time to recover would have been the best move.
