Cause of dirrels south paw style. Butes body shot againt a orthodox fighter. Is really underrated. He times it perfect. The only guys I see causing a problem will be ward and dirrel. I chose dirrel cause I think bute will find it hard to land that body shot against the south paw jab. Plus I think dirrel is the fastest supermiddle weight today. Ward might have the ring smarts to take it away I think bute stops carl froch if he thought Kesslers body shots hurt he has not felt anything yet
Yes finally someone said it!!! DontBlink you know your boxing I like yours skills Bute...but FIGHT DIRRELL
I don't think either Ward or Dirrell have trouble with Bute. Johnson was landing the jab flush. Could u imagine Dirrell jabbing Bute with his right so low. Byte has some skill an speed but his defense isn't up to snuff
dirrell and ward have no heart and no chin.they both will get murdered by bute and only dr.shaw can save theire live with a doctor excuse note.
I think Kessler is the best match up for syles blending and i think Kessler would edge it. Ward would give him fits i don't think Dirrell would. Froch is a 50/50 and i sit on the fence!!!
I believe in Bute's technique & power...I doubt his chin....and psychological fortitude If he is the real deal....he would beat the hell out of Kessler...(one dimensional imo, but great at what he does). I believe Dirrell or Ward are to young, smart & very talented for Bute even if he is the real deal...but his power is the danger.
Dirrell is too fast for Bute. His accuracy with the jab and right hand would see Bute's face busted up and bleeding. Ward is too good for Bute. Ward is able to fight inside or out. Outside like we saw Johnson last night, we'd see Dirrell pepper Bute with very fast and accurate jabs. He'd have Bute fighting off of the back pedal and absorbing many accurate right hands. I see Bute going down like AA. Froch, if he's focused may prove the most entertaining and competitive match up of the three. If see Kessler giving Bute fits also. Kessler has a nice jab, and would easily out jab Bute whose jab is used mainly to keep distance. If AA could learn to fight from the starting bell, I think he'd find success with Bute also. AA
Remember dirrel is south paw and he will have a right jab bute likes to come under the the right hand. Now he has success with the orthadox right hand cause it comes from a longer distance then the south paw jab. The only problem with dirrel is his chin not to sure about it, same with bute and ward. Kessler would really struggle in my view May be stopped late
I just remember Bute vs Andrade 1st fight and that shows a hell of alot about Bute if you put pressure on him and Kessler does not stop coming and Bute would not knock him out seriously! I see Kessler winning in style!!!
Dirrell would be slipping and sliding all over the ring after tasting a Bute body shot or one of his uppercuts. Ward/Bute is the fight I wanna see. I think that's a pick-em fight. But first I wanna see Ward/Froch to see what happens there.
I agree. I see Kessler as the weakest link. I don't think Direll's chin is so weak. I've seen him hit and take it well. The problem with Direll is mental. He just doesn't like to be hit, but prefers to stick and move. This stick and move is what allowed him to preform so well against Froch. I actually had Direll winning the fight by a margin, but I think if Direll showed more heart, he could have completely shut out Froch. He actually hurt Froch several times in that fight, so his power and accuracy has been extremely understated. Dirrell's problem is his mentality. Hopefully, he will get it together and get squarely back in the saddle. :yep
andre fraud and robert de niro..you americans have bad jokes at smw,just like these idiots praising them...
Kessler is a straight forward aggressive style. Unfortunately for the Dane, his forward aggression isn't consistently effective. We saw this in Ward-Kessler where Ward had Kessler fighting backwards.
In terms of natural ability & attributes Dirrell is the most talented fighter in the division imo. In terms of skills Dirrell is on par with Ward and Bute is ever so slightly below. Dirrell and Ward can both switch-hit effectively.
