THIS IS A BAD FIGHT FOR BUTE!! This is the one guy who could end up KOing him. In terms of style's Johnson is that one guy who has everything needed to beat Bute in dramatic fashion. Bute is an idiot for taking this fight if it's true and he's going to get knocked out.
Nobody beats Glen Johnson comfortably. Chad Dawson in his prime couldn't beat him comfortably. Antonio Tarver couldn't beat him comfortably. You just cannot beat Glen Johnson comfortably, you might beat him but it's never an easy fight. This fight favors Glen Johnson on style. He has superior technical skill to Bute, and he has a better chin, more power, and I just don't see how Bute can beat him at all. It's going to be like Roy Jones Jr vs Glen Johnson, where Glen Johnson is going to walk the weak chinned Bute down and eventually catch him and KO him. It's going to go down like the Green fight. Anyone who knows boxing knows this will happen. I can't believe Bute's management allowed him to take this fight. This is like him taking a fight against Bernard Hopkins.
I think Bute beats Johnson comfortably. Johnson is not as young as he was, and different to Froch fight he is now in the lion's den. Interesting fight, but I have no doubts that Bute will get a nice impressive win.
Dawson & Taver aren't much good IMO. Froch beat Johnson comfortably so we obviously have different definitions of comfortable. We'll see come fight night.
Johnson doesn't fight old and his style is the reason. It's not just about speed and power but also technical skill. Johnson is one of the most technically skilled in boxing, and he has a strong chin and excellent stamina when in shape. This combination makes him very very difficult to beat. You can't come forward on him, you have to be able to fight going backwards. Bute is a good boxer, but I don't think he's better than Chad Dawson and I believe Glen Johnson outboxed Chad Dawson and got robbed. Green was a good boxer, and he got knocked out rather easily. Bute has a Green like chin, and as soon as Johnson lands and with his accuracy and the amount of punches he throws eventually he is going to, when this happens it's over for Bute. Corrupt judges cannot save him.
What do you mean Dawson and Tarver aren't much good? Both are better boxers than Bute and Johnson beat them both.
It seems you missed the Dawson-Johnson rematch. Not even close. Boring but comfortable for Dawson. You also missed the end of Johnson-Froch: Johnson gassed. Bute loves to fight backwards and to counterpunch. Johnson is the ideal opponent for him. You could not choose better to suit his style. What happened after they sparred together? bute easily won against Andrade. Johnson lost to Dawson. We have a completely different opinion on that match up.
Dawson is not a better fighter than Bute. You have nothing to prove that. Dawson can't adapt in a ring, he's not the biggest warrior, cannot finish an opponent. He is predictable. He is not very smart. His footwork is average. In all these departments, Bute beats him. Beside, I repeat that Dawson won the rematch easily against Johnson. I read your posts and the amount of idiocies is so big I won't answer anymore to any of your posts.
I wouldn't say Froch had an easy night but I think he won comfortably. He took a few decent shots but only lost two or three rounds.
I would say the first half was close and Froch dominated largely the second one. If I remember, I gave 4 rounds to Johnson.
Its a good news, but not a great one. If he win poorly, hater fest will go on, if he knock Johnson, Johnson will suddenly become shot, finished and the hater fest will go on. But I will enjoy this fight, Bute fights are always entertaining. And even if Bute knock Vitaly Klitschko and his brother on the same night, I know the hater fest will go on......:yep
Bute again takes no risk ,but after Johnsson I'm sure that we would see Bute against big name in his prime.
