What an idiot Miranda is, showboating like that....glad Bute didn't waste the opportunity to embarrass that clown. Nice KO, maybe a bit premature stoppage though.
Kleeeng! ...shoulda kept his head up. nice uppercut.. props to Bute. he absorbs another battler under his belt.
somewhere in a dark basement....a phone call is made...... "yes....hello?...it didn't turn out as planned....yes....bring in hopkins....click."
i dont know if i'm happy or pissed. waited all this time and i only get to see bute for 3 rounds didn't see the ko coming at all. bute seemed pretty tense and didn't seem to like miranda's style. it was a welcomed surprise...
Depends. I'm pretty sure that if Pavlik wants to move up... HBO would still like to show this fight... But I'm not sure Pavlik's team would like to have him face a bigger version of Martinez...
(guns pointed at me) ladies and gentleman...Lucy....(gun points at my ribs harder) ...Lucian Bute...has proved that he is a serious man in this game... in this sport we call boxing. I look forward..to..(gun harder at the ribs).... I look forwARD TO SEEING lucian bute in this sport.... and ....click*
Props to Bute. He took care of business like he was suppose to. He didn't use movement and footwork to outbox Miranda but decided to apply pressure and be the aggressor instead. He was more at risk of getting caught by one of Miranda's big punches but at the same time he had more chances of landing his big shots. They took a chance and it worked. Bute's now 6-0 (5ko) in championship fights.
