Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn: Joshua Buatsi Can Beat Dmitry Bivol; His Next Fight Must Be A Step Up

[Ray*]

Bivol is the most proven guy at 175. He beat Smith jr, Pascal, Barrera. Joe Smith jr. was an easy fight for him.

I guess he will face Smith jr. - Beterbiev winner for jr. heavyweight supremacy?

Thought he was talking about JB

He isn’t dominant at light heavyweight

Other than his last fight which we can all agree had some shady judging, he had lost like....five or six rounds his entire career. I'd call that dominant.


You don't have to be knocking people out to be dominant. He made one of the current belt holders look like an amateur with 5 fights

Buatsi has a way to go before that kind of fight. It's good to see what lhw career Hearn actually cares about though.

I thought you were calling JB “Dominant”

EDIT - Oh, Buatsi No.

You mean like when he was trying to get Usyk (signed to matchroom) to step aside so Joshua could fight Fury? (Signed to Top Rank)

Giving the fans what they want. Some might call him a hero

I just don’t see Buatsi beating Bivol. Bivol is a proven world champ with much more experience than Buatsi.

Sorry fingers hurting can’t be bothered typing their names out.

Buatsi getting hit easily by euro level fighters. Bivol destroys him and I believe outboxes beterbiev too. Buatsi has fought no one to that level.
