Buglioni still learning his trade
Frank Buglioni has told Kugan Cassius that far too much emphasis is now placed on an unblemished record. The Enfield fighter is currently rebuilding following a surprise loss to Sergey Khomitsky in April, but he firmly believes that the loss will make him a stronger fighter in the long run.
“I think there is an emphasis on an unbeaten record nowadays and unnecessarily so” said Buglioni. Sometimes when you’re too worried about your record, and you dodge the right fights, it can leave the boxing public wanting a little bit. I’m in the game for exciting fights, to make plenty of money, and to try and be the best” Watch the full interview video here.

Ellesmere Port hero Paul Butler has warned Mexican, Ismael Garnica, that he is in for a brutal time come Saturday night, as ‘The Baby Faced Assassin’ plans to take the frustration of a postponed world title fight out on his new opponent.
“The last fortnight has been an absolute nightmare but, at this crucial stage of my career, I just have to get up for it”, said Butler. “The Tete thing is behind me now and I have to look forward. I’m still only 25, still young and fresh. It isn’t as if I was drinking in the Last Chance Saloon. There’ll definitely be future chances”.
“As regards the opponent, I didn’t even know his name until you just mentioned it. That’s how interested I am in him. His record says he’s been stopped twice and I plan making it three times on Saturday night. He’s nowhere near world level and I’m going to brutally dismantle him to prove that I was more than ready for Tete”.
“I craze that buzz again of hearing those words ‘…and the new……’ and walking around as world champion. Knowing my world title status is simply on hold, is what has got me through this”.
