    Anyway, he wins.

    Decision or knockout, depending on whether we get a Curtis Stevens version of the matrix or a Super Six version.

    Prime for Prime, I'd see Dirrell taking a competitive decision. I'm not as confident in that pick at this point though. He looked good in this tune-up bout, but that doesn't tell us much.

    To those ******ed posters who claim something along the lines of Andrade KO12 Bute, YDKSAB.

    The bell should have rung. Timekeeper ****ed up. Less than 9 seconds left in the whole fight when Bute goes down. Hands clear, gets up around 8-9. All he needed to do.

    Here, ESB's own covering the issue.

    http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=17659&more=1



    Now on to Bute-Dirrell, which I've said before would be a stinker. I think Dirrell is faster than Bute in both handspeed and overall movement (the man can run), which will make Bute cautious after getting caught with snappy combos by Dre, connecting for the most part. Likewise, Dirrell will get cautious when Bute squeezes by a straight left to land a big body shot. From then on, we have a stinker. Lesser punch volume on both sides, battle of the jab kinda deal.

    Dirrell has the ability to run around Bute while outlanding him over 12 rounds. I favor him 60-40 in a UD.

    If Bute gets to Dirrell mid fight and ends up breaking him down with body shots, Bute KO around the 10th/11th.

    Dirrell is too fragile. Bute would win.

    Yes and by the end of it going away. It would be close early on. There are some delusional people that think Dirrell could beat Bute.

    Dirrell is going to put something on Bute's ass and expose him.

    You don't give a fair chance to S6 AA/Froch versions of Dirrell against Bute IB?

    I could see Dirrell real quick on the back foot, and Lucian does not always appear 'natural' going forward on the offense. I think Dirrell could make him look a bit slow & uncoordinated.




    And obviously, I too have zero idea of where the Battleship nickname is coming from. The tribute thread's name ok, but the fighter's official nickname... I'm sure Shaun could do better.

    Bute by viscious career ending KO over Dre Dirrel.........:think

    And that's why the hearty Tony Dirrel will be his victim. His career can at least recover from the brutal KO either Dirrel would take.:deal
