Still like this fight even at Jean age. And tbf, it might sell OK too.

But if Hearn can push through a title shot straight away, obviously better for them.

Either way, I won't complain.

Let's see if Hearn, who has never been big on additional random testing, insists on it for this fight.

Not sure I agree with your assessment of Hearns opinion on such matters. It was additional random testing that exposed Jarrell Miller, so I'm sure he thinks it's a good thing.

Will be a good fight for Buatsi against a seasoned pro in probably his last chance to fight for a world title. And if Buatsi wins it’ll leave him better prepared for the title fight. He’s lucked out of the Bivol fight anyway so why not take this?

[Ragga1]

Good step up fight for Buatsi, hopefully he’ll get a fair shake with the VADA testing in place. Pascal definitely had a pick up in his career when it seemed in decline, then funnily enough he failed a drugs test.

[Southpaw16]

Good fight for Buatsi. He could use just a little more seasoning at the pro level before Bivol or Beterbiev, he’s almost there.

[A.B Counterhooks]

At the moment pascal a more 'suitable' fight for buatsi than bivol is, also leaves potential zurdo bivol clash very much open

Lmao matchroom getting a taste of reality no more holding belts and ranking spots hostage for canelo

Oh look, another lie and fantasy made up story being thrown at Hearn.

Care to give me some examples of this happening?

This is not true at all. In fact, Matchroom utilizes full VADA testing more so than just about any other promoter.

Hearn is taking L after L lately. Promoters don't like it when you talk about them, Eddie.
