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

[Coco]

Gotta love Babic

[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.

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

That would’ve been worse and more suspect. The fact that Loughlin thought it was a foul shot and only give the point deduction and not significant time to recover makes it even more dodgier.
He knew it wasn’t a foul but was just trying to help him out. I don’t think it was good refereeing.

We get that mental fight, all revert up, now they make us suffer through a crappy 10 round bore fest.

Why do it to us?

Apologies if this image offends anyone, but look at the crotch bulge on Bustos at the weigh in



That's even more scary than Scotney's spotty back.

But but it’s for a world title?!?!?

'Unified' at that

[Coco]

One of the judges only gave him 91! So that means he didn't even get the 10-8 for the knockdown, didn't win the last round either!

[Dioufy]

Bustos with a flag you put in a cocktail.
Nice touch.

Haha good spot.
Case for the 9th too if you don’t consider that a foul shot; which I didn’t.

What a treat

[forcefraser]

Hope there is a stoppage in this fight.

Almost always distance fights

[JamesPhilips]

A lot of Argentinian female ‘world class’ fighters

[Coco]

There were 2x 97-91

Funny cards

[jameswilson]

Has she always had those zits on her back?

Yeah. Saw her at a presser before her debut and she looked a 10 out of 10. Then she got in the ring and you realised the power of makeup.

I wonder what causes the zits though? Worse than Hughie Fury!

I think probably the same thing as causes Hughie Fury’s.

Funny cards

With those cards the opponent clearly never had a chance

[fizzjambo]

Fair play to Babic, he’s limited as hell and an accident waiting to happen - but he’s great TV.

Here for a good time, not for a long time

[gregregegg]

He is getting buzzed by C levle cruiser weights. Its time to fight Big Dave Allen for the cash out befor someone elese sparks him.

[forcefraser]

Argie got a fair set of nosties on her

[jameswilson]

‘Occupy. Occupy. Occupy’

Jamie Moore. May 2022.



In a few years time people will be amazed that quote wasn’t attributed to Vladimir Putin.

[Glass Joe]

im watching Mayweather card, silva on. hoping Mayweather gets decked but its probably scripted.

[Coco]

It could be that it was scored with Babic winning 1 round 10-8, 7 rounds 10-9, 1 drawn round and losing one 10-8.
I guess Babic was given the last round 10-8 with the point deduction.

[forcefraser]

The atmosphere has died.

Learn a lesson Hearn

[Glass Joe]

Babic should have been before the main event. maybe a blessing for Babic could had been a different fight later on in the night.

Given Mateus Masternak beat Balski 9-1 I’d say Masternak has a decent chance.


Rivas will absolutely marmalise Babic. Rivas has to cut a few pounds to make 225 as well doesn’t he? Think I remember him weighing in at a ripped 230-235 vs Whyte?
