Poll coming. What do you guys think on this fight? Kessler looked pretty good last night and this will clearly be Bute's hardest fight ever.
:yep Even if kessler fights stieglitz next, why cant bute fight andre direll, I think that would be a great fight.
Ward made Kessler look like the B level fighter he always was. Bute is even more a hype and I expect Kessler to dispatch Bute to redeem himself.
Reality check. Nobody wants to fight him. Kessler refused an offer and is now going after Steiglitz. Nobody even tries to call him out even though he has the biggest money potential of anyone in the division. They don't want any part of him, he wasn't even invited to the super six. Anyone with two eyes can see that he's a supremely skilled boxer, that's why he's ranked #1 by a lot of people even though he hasn't had a signature win yet.
Bute would KO both Ward and Kessler. Neither of those guys would have anything for him. Bute would beat them with power, length, speed and combination punching.
Bute is an even larger hype than the Danish Pastry fed, Kessler. I had Kessler not even winning 1 round against Ward. A complete shutout! :rofl Ward will dispatch and expose Bute even easier then he did Kessler. :yep
I'd take Bute to stop Kessler w/a series of Body shot's. (Uppercut) Mikkel's right hand looked sharp on Sat. But Lucian is hitting him stride while Kessler has already seen his best days.
I think it's too early to tell.. Kessler was very sharp this weekend and Bute confidence must be very high right now. I expect a competitive fight. Kessler will be Bute best opponent so it's hard to tell. Meanwhile Kessler fought the best out there. This fight will provide us the answer: is Bute that good? Can he perform against a former champ who seems to have a lot left
Kessler offense was fine yesterday but he took too many unuseful big shots at some point and if he does the same against Bute, it may be over. He doesn't control the distance as he used to be with his quick and stiff jab and a good footwork. He is a warrior, fine, but he didn't had to take so many shots yesterday. I'm a big fan of Kessler but I was not so impressed by his performance as people all seems to be.
