yeah and he was one of the four boxers to spare with Lucian for Zuniga. did Bute spare with Diaconnu ? because Diaconnu bring a lot of the same then Zuniga (height ,power ,style )
Lucian and Adrian usually always spar if they share the same time in the gym,so I guess so. In that video(which is recent) both seem big(physically) to me.
I think we should show more respect to our friend Finito. After all, I'm a newbie and he's an educated boxing historian. March, April, I mean more than a month later is the same thing that the same night.
On Interbox site, it is written for yesterday (Thursday) that Bute is focusing on Zuniga. Well, if they sense they have to say that, I may be worried. Just kidding. More the fight approaches, more I'm confident that Bute will win easily. Too tall, too fast, too heavy for Zuniga.
Have you thought about the fact that Zuniga probably realizes that this could be his last hurrah? It occured to me the other day that with losses to Santos at 154, Pavlik at 160, and Inkin at 168, a loss to Bute would probably be the end of Zuniga getting big fights. I'm sure he knows that, and will fight like he knows that!. An already dangerous man just became even more dangerous. I'm not ready to change my prediction, but Bute may find himself facing a fighter who would rather die than lose.
In the ring, a boxer has to stay calm. That will be Zuniga's challenge. He has to be intense but stay calm. Bute should be very calm. He was not at the beginning of the fight against Bika. He was not at times against Andrade. But Zuniga won't bring a new challenge, and Bute is now more experienced. Zuniga hits hard, but Bute hits hard too. I see Zuniga charging too much and paying the price, Bute counterpunching very heavily, avoiding most of Zuniga shots. When Zuniga will stop charging, we'll know the fight is near the end.
