Early thoughts : Buatsi vs Hutchinson 2

Joshua Buatsi vs Willy Hutchinson 2 is for the WBC light heavyweight title — and this time the gap has genuinely closed. Two years after Buatsi took a split decision over Hutchinson, they meet again with a world title on the line. So why does this one feel so much closer? In this episode we get into: Did the Callum Smith war take something out of Buatsi? Was the Zack Parker performance an off day, or the start of a decline? Hutchinson has looked sharp against Mark Jeffers and Ezra Taylor — but at a level below Can Hutchinson's awkwardness trouble Buatsi the way Parker did? Does the winner go to Benavidez, or does Anthony Yarde finally get his shot? Our predictions at the end — and we don't agree My take: people are writing off Buatsi far too quickly. He lost to Callum Smith, but that wasn't a bad performance — and in any other sport, winning ugly is allowed. Sometimes you just need the W. Big credit to both men. Whoever wins this is a deserving world champion. Shoutout to Spen Boxing for collaborating — go and subscribe to his channel. #boxing #joshuabuatsi #willyhutchinson ⚽️ LOVE FOOTBALL?
