Is Buglioni avoiding Yarde? or Yarde avoiding Buglioni?

[Ringnews24]

Anthony Yarde reveals Frank Buglioni has turned down the fight several times

Yarde isn’t sure why the fight hasn’t happened after several attempts. He told Ringnews24.com:

“We tried to make that fight happen on several occasions, but again we’re here February 10th and still no fight. Maybe the fight will happen further down the line but I’m not waiting for no one.”

I'm interviewing Buglioni at 2pm and will let you know what he says. Would love to read your guys thoughts.

EDIT:

Exclusive: Frank Buglioni responds to Anthony Yarde’s claims and accuses Yarde of avoiding him and deliberately not making the fight with laughable offers

not sure but imo ppl on here rate burton too hghly. best wn over area level fghter and got stopped by a guy who hadnt before stopped anyone decent. i cant buy that yardes team was afraid of burton as many say.

imo yarde would bust up bugs...who even goes tough vs guys such as summers and marham. not sure on all the politics of the situation but yardes with warren and bugs wth hearn right?

I read elsewhere that people aren't too happy Yarde is skipping the British scene but I can't blame him as long as he fight's Buglioni this year as it's not a very strong division.

I think they should fight each other then the winner goes after the European.

[Espada]

I think Buglioni would win.

I think he has a better all round and better chin. Yarde has the power no doubt but what would he be like in a real trenches type fight. I pick Frank to stop him.

[jamamb]

ya seems nifty to say gritty frank just has too much for the hyped guy but tbh im not at all impressed by him. easy to hit and in hard fights with guys like ricky summers, who i think yarde would destroy.

his top performance was coming from behind very late to beat a guy whose never had a decent result above area level. yarde just destroyed a guy who drew for the ebu one fight before.

im not convinced franks really much better than when chud shut him out (ryan ford did better). he just happens to be in a very weak domestic division

And the other side to that is yarde hasn't been past 4 rounds and has been in with joureymen or super middleweights.

[jamamb]

the last guy drew for the ebu 175 title right before. i think hes much better than guys like ricky summers, shinkwin, smyle, etc

honestly, even tony averlant would be very high up on the best 175 win list of buglioni and burton, maybe 2nd between the two of them

[Ruthless-RKO]

Buglioni sounds as though he wants it.. Want's to clean out domestic.

[iestyn500]

Or is it warren avoiding hearn or is hearn avoiding warren. alot of the times the fighter wants to fight each other but its the promoters who are stopping it

He may well b better but it's in the division below and yarde is yet to beat a top 10 ranked light heavy in Britain. He also withdrew from the final eliminator with burton.

[jamamb]

why do they have to be british, especially when its a weak domestic division?

ricky summers is top 10 in the uk by boxrec but i easily rate euro level skejica over him

burtons for example never had a win or draw above area level, why should we really treat him as much better than skejoca or even tony averlant.

as much as its been rightful to criticize yardes opposition, i think ppl really exaggerate what burton and buglioni have done. even a guy like ryan ford, who yarde was going to fight and ppl knocked him for it, did far better vs chud than bugluoni did.

[maley1984]

But his beat non of them. It's all imports and fighters from the division below. If the division is that weak why not box for English title and force a mandatory position for the British title. Yarde team dodged burton.

[jamamb]

why does he need to beat any of them? none are that good

seriously, that last guy drawing for the euro title is easily as pretty much anything the brit names have done

do ppk think burton, for example, has a bunch of really good wins? miles shinkwin isnt anything good just because hes british

They might not b. But yarde isn't fighting light heavies his best win is against a super middleweight.

[jamamb]

who drew for the ebu 175 title one fight before

btw yarde was said to have ducked burton, whose arguable best win was 168 jahmaine smyle, who wont be at 175 euro level anytime soon.

perspective ! the domestic scene blows. saying stuff like 'he hasnt fought a top 10 uk opponent' is weak when guys like ricky summers and dec spelman are top ten

[jamamb]

for the record, id like yarde vs buglioni too, but yarde doesnt need the weak the brit scene

We won't agree but if johnson pulls out against buglinio in march. Burton will get the shot b4 yarde. Send over some more imports for yarde to blast out and learn nothing.

[Stuarty]

I like Buglioni he's great value but he's far too easy to hit to be able to stand up to what Yarde will put on him. I think Yarde wins inside 4. It's a fight that has to happen soon.

[jamamb]

your obsessing over nationality too much

what makes 'top 10' uk fighters like ricky summers and dec spellman clearly superior to tony averlant? why is jake carr or liam conroy or burton obviously better than a non brit guy who just drew at euro level?

being from the uk isnt an ability

[maley1984]

for the record, id like yarde vs buglioni too, but yarde doesnt need the weak the brit scene

I do hope he goes on and wins a world title down the line but let's b realistic his not above domestic level yet . Wbo European title is a trinket title that get people carried away wasn't Mitchell Smith ranked 4 by the wbo sometime ago. Where is he at now....

[jamamb]

he brutalized a guy who right before drew and easily couldve gotten the decision vs the actual ebu 175 champ. drawing at euro level easily (donald) trumps what most of those 'top 10' uk fighters have done

[PredatorHayds]

Yarde walks through Buglioni and stops him before 6.

Yardes last two opponents have been good level opposistion. Better than pretty much anything Buglioni has ever beaten.

[jamamb]

btw boxrec, which doesnt give nationality bonuses, would have averlant 4th in the uk ratings, behind only yarde himself, buglioni, and ajisafe (who actually also has 46 points but must be higher than averlant by some decimal amount)


another objective computerized system has averlant only behind yarde and ajisafe (below bob by 1 ranking, so boxrec and pbo have ajisafe and averlant as very very similar).

ppl need to stop acting like the uk oppositions tougher and yarde can only prove himself vs them. being british isnt a boxing talent or accomplishment

[higgs88]

couple of Yarde lovers on here. Yarde hasn't beaten anyone of note and thats a fact. Bug deserves some credit

Buglioni sells a lot of tickets as sky commentators remind us every three minutes when he fights.
