I thought Buatsi-Azeez was an entertaining and competitive fight. What stood out to me is that Azeez wasn't able to push Buatsi back like's done with other opponents and get them on the ropes like against Rocky Fielding and Hosea Burton.
I think it's a bit harsh to say Adam Azim has already peaked in my opinion - he's only 21 years old and surely can only get better. Of course reaching the elite level is not going to be easy.
As for Ben Whittaker. The showboating is a bit cringy sometimes but the guy is super talented and if he keeps getting the job done as he faces better opponents whilst bringing in more viewers, it's hard to criticise him. Whether you love him or you hate him you're gonna watch him.
Btw, I really like this podcast. Where can I listen to the full version?
Thanks for your thoughts, Dan. Some valid points as always. I thought some of the rounds of the main event were close but Buatsi just had that extra bit of quality at the right times to poke daylight into the scorecards. Azeez has done really well to reach this point though.
