indeed AA fought with Ward, Froch , Dirrell and Taylor and now won fair and square imo the WBO title against a "C" level fighter. I'd say that he performed quite decent against Ward although he was beaten , arguably beat Dirrell and K.O'd Taylor. Against Froch took some nasty punishment but his high up guard saved him from being T/K.O'd. These are better achievements at smw category than Bute has done, no doubt but I say that Bute has the potential to be a great smw. We should wait his next fight and then the rematch with Froch:deal.
He did beat Librado Andrade, who fought an impressive match against Mikkel kessler He also defeated Brian Magee. He's a very good boxer, just not very resistant to hard punches. I think his long arms and higher speed would make the fight hard for Abraham, but if Abraham connects properly, Bute is in trouble.
That thing Arthur did last nite is called sweet science son. IMO Bute might show in this fight early symptoms of parkinson's disease while getting shaken by Those bombs from Arthur.
Actually no, he got his ass whooped against all 3 fair & square. All three were painful to watch and he clearly doesn't belong to the elite at SMW. It isn't hard to admit it even for me. That's probably why he "doesn't dare to think about Froch again", because the rematch is pointless. So is Froch-Bute II if you ask me.
Abraham got his jaw broke and won a hometown decision against bum ass Miranda for **** sakes Bute would make easy work out of midget Abraham. At least Bute is willing to step it up against Froch again while Abraham hides out fighting unranked tomato cans in Germany atsch
Easy to use "sweet science" against some F leveller atsch Stiegs would have been KTFO by Bute inside 8.
Bute lost by KO against Andrade and won a hometown decision. At least AA showed tremendous heart in that fight where he got his jaw fractured, what did Bute show when he got his **** pushed in by Andrade except a glass chin ? :think
If you seriously scored that fight in favour of Andrade when Bute won 10 out of 12 rounds I think we can end the discussion here since you clearly can't score a fight atsch
Who talked about scoring ? He legitimately knocked him out, scores aren't taken into account in such cases, you know ? You're just looking for a way out because you can't defend Bute anymore, you're a deluded fanboy who protects him at all costs.
Sorry Tyler but Arthur is a horrendously slow starter whilst Bute is someone who prospers if he's allowed to settle.I also think Arty's team will be very reluctant to leave Germany now whilst Bute's team...well,that one's pretty self explanatory. I just don't see either going to the other's backyard and like I said,I think Sauerland knows Arthur won't beat the big names at 168,so they'll get as much mileage out of this belt as they can. No one knows how Bute is going to be after Carl demolished him,but I still think Arthur was made to be a top name at 160,not 168.
Bute is no longer a big name and Carl will make sure we forget about him and his fanboys after march 2013. Actually Grachev may have enough to end it himself.
Bute beat the count and won the decision. Sure the ref tried some shady crap near the end but if he did or didn't none of that even matters since Bute was up by 7 or 8 anyways.
Bute is the type of fighter that doesn't make the same mistakes or others in rematches ! He will redeem himself in rematch. I still think that Bute is the only guy at 168 / 175 that has good chances to beat Ward.:yep I don't see Grachev fight, a tougher fight than Magee fight was.
