Comments Thread For: Hearn: No Problem Making Bivol-Ramirez, But We Already Made Plans For Bivol-Buatsi

[Madison Boxing]

Nobody but Hearn wants to see Bivol-Buatsi

buatsi is a legitimate threat. people forget that bivol struggled with the guy buatsi did last fight, 115-114, 115-113 were two of the cards

Problem with the Buatsi fight is it means the Ramirez mandatory is still hanging over Bivol in 2023 when we’d all like to see him fight Beterbiev. Get Zurdo out the way and then straight into an undisputed title fight or Canelo rematch. Buatsi hasn’t earned a shot anyway.

buatsi is better than zurdo....

Bivol nearly always "struggles". That is an old news. he is not strong light heavy and all strong guys here give him some problems, but at the end of the they, he wins.

Zurdos been waiting for his shot against Bivol for 2 years, Eddie harness ****ting his pants because he knows Ramirez will take that belt away then the world will be calling for Canelo vs Zurdo. Canelo already said he won't fight another Mexican, Zurdo will beat the brakes off of Buatsi

Hearn needs to take a step back and get out of the way on this one, these are two dazn fighters who could easily fight each other in what would be a more intersting fight than any other save for Canelo with both. Buatsi isn’t even beyond domestic level yet. 110% with Oscar on this one

bivol is barely beyond that level then either, he only beat richards by 1 round on the cards

Zurdo deserves the big title shot more than Buatsi. And he's a better fighter, even though has flown under the radar for a long time.

why is buatsi being written off for having a close fight against the same fighter bivol did though, i dont get it....

Zurdo is a former World Champion with multiple defences. Buatsi’s best accomplishment thus far is winning a British title.

Whether he is or not is irrelevant to the point. Ramirez is mandatory so he may as well get him out the way and then go straight into a massive undisputed fight with Beterbiev or massive payday vs Canelo. If he fights Buatsi first, he’ll still have to face to Zurdo next so the Buatsi fight is essentially just a waste of time.

Are we now discarding all his other wins or an off night performance?

44-0 is better than 16-0. There is no qualitative difference. It's not like Buatsi fought 16 monsters. Eddy likes to flex, cut in line. I think Eddy wants to be rid of Buatsi. Cash out, earn your keep, sink or swim time. Ramirez? He has plenty of experience, that's worth something.
