Bute will look like this before he even thinks about throwing that left to the body. This content is protected The kind of easy work Froch was supposed to be ? I get you.
AA is not Froch. Bute beats the sh*t out of Abraham. Probably the first time Abraham gets stopped, who is custom made for uppercuts.
I think you're assuming that loss won't have a lasting effect on Bute. Personally, until proven otherwise, I think he's likely ruined. (both his base punch resistance and his confidence) As bad as Cotto after Margarito I, although the beating didn't last as long. Hell, until he comes back and shows me something, I'm not sure I'd pick Bute in a 3rd match (unofficial rubbermatch) with shot Andrade.
Think you're getting a bit carried away there IB. If Bute's confidence was totally shot he wouldn't have enforced the rematch clause with Froch.
I expect Bute to look good early till he gets caught, don't think he will be able to handle Abraham's power.
Non german speakers do not know the tactics and the style Abraham and Wegner had planned. After the fight Wegner said, that it was their tactic, not to knock Stieglitz out. They wanted to box with the boxer. Thats also why Abraham didn't let his hands go when he had Stieglitz hurt. Abraham said between rounds 9 and 10 or 10 and 11, can't exactly remember, "may I punch him or do I still have to play with him?" And Wegner said Abraham should stick to their plan and box.
Unless AA can really catch Lucian, Which I can't see. he has lost a lot of speed in the ring no I got Bute by late TKO or UD.
IF Abraham hadn't just struggled and very well may have lost to Wilkzewski and Stieglitz, And wasn't this shot I'd pick him by KO easy, But he did. So no.
